HWR2 Kingdom of Nithia - Alternate Cover

[Havard]

An article at Havard's Blackmoor Blog talks about alternate covers from different BECMI D&D products including this alternative cover for the Kingdom of Nithia. Which version do you like the most?

I think you're right when you suggest that the first cover would work well for a Hutaaka source book. I like the cover they ended up using for Nithia for a couple of reasons. The two statues show both a human and a dog-headed person, which I think better represents Nithia proper. There should be some indication of humans because Nithia is a human-centric nation. I also like the stone statues as compared to the more metallic look (I know it's meant to be stone, but it comes off a bit too shiny) of the single statue - and the background also lends to this - Nithai and large stone structures go together. Finally I think the jackal head on the second image is more reminiscent of "Egyptian" style, than the head of the single statue.

Indeed we should recycle it for a Valley of Hutaaka gaz

The aesthetic of the cover TSR used is more pleasing to my eyes.

The right one is better. Too much empty space in the left.

Where did you get the copy from?

That's a good question, I couldn't even find it with a Google Image search (GIS).

That looks more like a photoshopped mockup cover to me; I'm curious where the cover image came from.

Yeah, I'm chomping at the bit here.
