The book cover for Lamentations of the Turnip Farmer is finished! This one features Rian and his three unwitting Orc hosts, Ghorza, Sharog, and Urami, from left to right. There’s a ton of detail packed into this one, from the intricate clothing and jewelry, to the yurt-inspired background, to the lady muscles! This one comes courtesy of artist Joseph C. Virtuoso, who has done a tremendous job bringing the characters to life. Their tribal culture has elements of everything from steppe nomads to Vikings, and I think he’s really captured that here.
