My son's choices.

1st place. 1801. It really stood out and looked real.

2nd place. 1774. They really looked like they were fighting with the humans and the ships.

3rd place. 1772. It looked like the werewolf has trashed the city and the hunter is trying to kill it.

Peace is a lie, there's only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.

1st) 1811 - the God City rises! gorgeous colouring.
2nd) 1802 - the detail in a simple idea was amazing
3rd) 1791 - after the bombast, a moment of quiet contemplation

a stonking year alround.

JUDGE BURNS

in 3RD place with 1 point:   prog  1781   Henry Flint   Dark Judges

1: 1811 by D'Israeli. This blew me away when I unwrapped it but the extra surge of thrill-power when I finished reading and discovered it continued on the back was unparalleled.

2: 1791 by Simon Fraser. A beautiful capstone to 15 years of storytelling.

3: 1767 by Tiernan Trevallion. Because Absalom's kicking a puppy.

Ben Willsher's covers to 1792, 1796 and 1802 very nearly made the cut, as did Simon Parr's 1799 and Chris Weston's 1771a.
I'm a tucker hot seat trucker and I'm voking cheerio, ten-ten!

No1 : Prog 1811 by D'Israeli. Incredible bit of work. I loved it even more after reading the breakdown of its creation on the Covers Blog.

No2 : Prog 1771a by Chris Weston. A sort of homage to that classic image of old by Bolland and that other classic cover of old by Colin McNiel. Just a beautiful labour of love from the Weston droid!

No3 : Prog 1767 by Tiernen Trevallion. Superb image. Love the detail. Love the colours. Love it all. :)

Here they all are in order (annual dispute over which side Prog 2012 / 2013 falls on notwithstanding).



If I'd known it was harmless I would have killed it myself.

That image is 11 meg.  :o  Mods might want to change it to a link before it bankrupts people on mobiles

BPP. It's prog 2013 not 2012
If you look at Pete's first post (after all he is running the vote) it is all there.
His maths may be a little dodgy but this is one of his babies and Prog 2012 was in the previous years nominations.

I know that vzzbux - i do the image for something else and view 2012 as part of the years covers rather than 2013 - mentioned it in the post.

Am sure everyone can blank out muddy-dredd-tharg and substitute Bagwell's Kirby Tharg in their minds eye.
