I think that is the same lady, and I agree about the eyeliner. Anyway why would someone photoshop it in for a book set in 1916, I am sure they didn't do cat eye flicks back then!Mythica wrote: I don't think the eyeliner is photoshopped after all. Unless the photographer photoshopped it in and only made that version available for the stock images (which I think is really unlikely), there's no way it got photoshopped twice exactly the same.

Re: Dejavu book covers
So I found this one, but it's not the one I was thinking of (I guess I'll still be on the look out for that):Mythica wrote:Am I imagining it or have I seen this woman before? I feel like she's on another cover with some airplanes but I have no idea what it was called.
Interestingly, the same author also had this one:
Maybe the same woman as:
But it's hard to tell, maybe they just have the same hair style - the woman from Flickers looks like her eyebrows are much more severely angled.Mythica wrote:Has this been posted? I really feel like this is the woman from that Elizabethan ruff, but I think it's just the same model in a different photoshoot, not the Elizabethan photo with major photoshopping:
Re: Dejavu book covers
The model in the Flickers cover sure reminds me of the one in the Tudor dress with the ruff. At least all that makeup reminds me of her. Too lazy to go and check, time to attempt to go back to sleep.
At home with a good book and the cat...

Re: Dejavu book covers
My comment on this cover involves the grammar of the title. I realize that the familiar form of the second-person pronoun (thou, thee, thy, and thine) is not much used anymore. But the equivalent is you (in the subject use) you (in the object use) yours (subject) and yours (object). So the correct phrasing of this is Love THY Enemy, not 'love thine enemy'. Even though people may not be able to parse it anymore, they can 'feel' that it isn't quite right. And if the title is that badly done, it doesn't bode well for the rest of the book.Mythica wrote:Am I imagining it or have I seen this woman before?

Re: Dejavu book covers
I didn't even read the title, but you're right. Isn't "Love thy enemy" in the Bible? Not sure how someone can get that wrong when it's a well known phrase...MLE (Emily Cotton) wrote:My comment on this cover involves the grammar of the title.

Re: Dejavu book covers
Okay, only one of these is a book cover but they are just so similar I had to wonder whether the book cover image was specifically designed after this promo image of James Purefoy in the movie Ironclad:

Re: Dejavu book covers
Possibly, although I think the guy on Lionheart looks more like Clive Owen. I suppose it's a fairly bog standard moody pose.

Probably, but even the background looks similar.Madeleine wrote: I suppose it's a fairly bog standard moody pose.

Re:
I really had to dig to find my original post. Looks like I was right about which direction the photoshopping went:Mythica wrote:Some adaptions but I'm pretty sure this was the same photoshoot. I want to say some of the details of the dress were removed on the second one, not that they were added to the first one:
