Best Illustrations in a Published Work--Nominations Closed

[Jean]

This thread is for members to nominate titles and artists for the Award for Best Illustrations in a Published Work. In order for a title to be eligible for nomination it must simply be a published work written by Stephen King. Titles originally published under the pseudonym Richard Bachman are also eligible. Any edition—trade or limited—is eligible for nomination in this category.

To nominate a title & artist for this category, simply post your book and corresponding artist/illustrator of choice in this thread with at least three examples of the illustrations from the book you’re nominating. In order for a title to be placed onto the voting ballot for the Award the nominated title & artist must be seconded and thirded, also in this thread. This is to ensure that we do not have an overly long list of contenders for the Award, and that--by virtue of the nomination process--each title & artist listed on the ballot is guaranteed to have at least something of a following come voting time. Please note that you MUST clearly state in your post that you are seconding or thirding a nomination for it to count. It is not necessary to post images when seconding or thirding nominations. Feel free to deliberate and discuss your choices in this thread.

Illustration images from all of King’s books can be found in our King Illustrations Catalog.

While you may second or third a nomination more than once, we ask that there be only one new nomination per member.

Michael Whelan-The Gunslinger

I'll try to put up some of them later, but we ll know them by now I think.

[Lily-sai]

I second Whelan, but because of The Dark Tower.

I'm not sure if the spoiler tags should be added, but just in case. Jean, what do you think, would they be necessary here?

Spoiler:

This is one of my favorites. It seems so serene, but yet you can feel there's something dark approaching.



Looking at this always makes me cry. *sigh*



Whelan has truly captured Roland's strong feelings here.

I think the usual spoiler rules should be applied here: if a picture spoils anything, it has to be tagged.

Ah, if you want Whelan's pics for that book you are not seconding; you are nominating those against MY pick.

Then I would like to second your nomination Liisa, (if it is a nomination like Bricey said), against Bricey's pick.
Sorry Bricey, but this has always been one of my favorites:

DT 7

[Brice]

That is a GREAT one...but Melikeys voting against Briceys?

[mae]

I'd like to nominate the illustrations from the Collector's Edition of Under the Dome, although they have no chance of course against DT. I wish I could find some to post with the nomination but so far I cannot...

Nominations are closed in this thread. All of them, remarkably few, advance to the final round.
