I understand that sometimes an artist is just given a single scene to work from, but as an artist who gets obsessive over Getting It Right, I can't understand why anyone would settle for "close enough!" Or, as in so many frustrating cases, not close enough.
This is one of my favorite books - I have this edition and I had to put an opaque cover on it because it is ALL WRONG. I could see some of the inaccuracies in the art as being understandable if it were painted just from the single scene it depicts, but what drives me really nuts is that in that scene, there are repeated instances of emphasis that you CANNOT LEAVE A TORN WING TORN and the requisite stopgap measures being applied. ARGH NOT OKAY okay done ranting sorry.
