In going through the hundreds of SS's we take to log stuff... once in a while you nail one that looks like cover art. This is not staged in-game or manipulated in a paint program; just a screenie snapped while playing. But in looking through the Screens directory I pause at certain ones and wonder if I've seen this on a book before... or if not, it should be.

No. Calif

It's a nicely cropped/snapped screenshot.
Certainly many bookcovers have characters in combat poses akin to that...Probably not surprising that fantasy art/media influences game character pose renderings - or vice versa. Chicken and egg thing, kinda.

Although, most bookcovers w/original art (that I've seen), have much more of a painted look than games can provide.
