More Miscellany

[elfs]

I didn't get much writing done this morning; the bus was crowded and the woman next to me was bugging me about my "bringing work onto the bus with me." It kind-of annoyed me because I had a solid grasp on what the sequel to The Visitor should have been.

As I was waiting for the bus in downtown, I avoided a posse of twenty-one teenagers, all clad in pink hoodies with the logo were walking around and harassing bystandars, asking them odd questions about what kind of coffee they liked and what kind of drinks they ordered. It was very weird. I avoided them.

And believe it or not, that picture is how the Japanese see Honor Harrington. That's gotta be the cutest Honor I've ever seen. Kawaii! Usually, I like Akira Watanabe's artwork, but this is just silly.

Don't forget prolong effects. Honor looks very young. But, going by the array of medal ribbons, that's not Honor as a Midshipman or junior officer.

Did some checking, and the Japanese covers may be found, with many others, here (http://www.wodzu.tonet.pl/republika_prokonsularna/En/hhverseartgallery.htm).

There are interesting differences between even the ones done by the same artist on those Japanese covers, some have a treecat, some have a hat, some have shorter hair, etc.

Still I thnk the Japanese ones are far more fiun than the boring "head floating in space over something orbital" ones that a lot of the other covers have.
