Valdemar's GRIMSCRIBE cover
This is a beauty.

Re: Valdemar's GRIMSCRIBE cover
Agreed! Much better than the Carroll & Graf/Robinson cover art, which was once hilariously (and accurately) described to me as "a cross between Aleister Crowley and Uncle Fester."

Re: Valdemar's GRIMSCRIBE cover
And much better than the hideous cover for the Spanish edition of TCATHR, also by Valdemar.

Your fall should be like the fall of mountains. But I was before mountains. I was in the beginning, and shall be forever. The first and the last. The world come full circle. I am not the wheel. I am the hand that turns the wheel. I am Time, the Destroyer. I was the wind and the stars before this. Before planets. Before heaven and hell. And when all is done, I will be wind again, to blow this world as dust back into endless space. To me the coming and going of Man is as nothing.

Re: Valdemar's GRIMSCRIBE cover
Here you can download a .zip folder containing high resolution scannings of spanish artist José Hernández’s original wonderful oils on canvas that Valdemar used for Noctuario and Grimscribe spanish covers:
