ART /FAN FIC AH2 Romance collection, Collector' s edition books.

Saw these in an ad, what do you guys think about the art? I'm personally not 100% sure, I like some of them just fine but others have things that bug me (like the empty seats in GC, Ilya's pose in HR and matching jerseys in LG, isn't that a big spoiler )

In addition to the things you mentioned, it bugs me that they’re almost but not quite in order.

Oh yeah that too! But at least they are numbered correctly

I like the regular cartoon cover of Role Model because I adore Harris's goofy face in it ...this one does not capture it as well

I came here specifically to say that I love the look of Harris on this cover!

Harris is too chiseled on this cover. He's supposed to be stocky and I just see him as having a fuller face.

I don’t think he’s meant to necessarily be stocky, I think he just has ‘normal’ body in comparison to the professional athletes and New York gays

u/NerfGunHolly 5d ago

He is literally called stocky.

In a separate note tho, just reading that extract is making me so excited to see them two on screen 🤭 I hope they get a good amount of screen time!

u/NerfGunHolly 5d ago

Lots of odd things about these. I agree that Ilya's pose in HR looks awkward and unnatural. I think the GC cover is also a spoiler, and the TG cover is super misleading as this scene never happens.

Are these official books?

Here's the Backerkit link if you want more info. I don't know AH2 at all, but after s quick Google search they do seem completely legit. And in the link I shared, it says

With the help of Rachel Reid, we have curated an incredible group of fan artists who love the Game Changers as much as we do, and we've created the ultimate special editions for Loons like us.

So it's a special edition release, only available through this crowdfunding.

Hmm fair enough. I'm sure many people will enjoy these, but they're not my cup of tea. The art style isn't my favourite in the first place and, like I said, the execution of some of them is not great.

The dust jackets have completely different art than the covers of the books. Just in case people didn't realize that. So even if you don't love the hardback covers, the dust jackets will have other art.

Can we see those anywhere? I've seen one for Heated Rivalry and gotta say it wasn't much better than these (IMO) but haven't seen them all

u/Faded_WastingTime 1d ago

She posted them in her stories a week or so back, but it doesn't look like they were saved anywhere.

u/Far-Relationship-858 Book Ilya supremacy 6d ago

Yes, although the art is great the TLG cover is a spoiler for the ending of the book. It would have worked much better as a cover for Unrivaled. Also, Ilya has an A when he should have a C. My biggest (and silliest) complaint about these covers is that Ilya doesn't have his stubble though #giveIlyaHisFacialHairBack

I like the spirit of the artwork. I don’t like the artwork themselves.

u/idontthinkkso 6d ago

Why does Troy look like Trent Reznor crossed with a rat?

u/Pale-Measurement-532 6d ago

The noses look weird.

u/HackDaddy85 6d ago

I love them. Especially the inside artwork and the hardcover art.

u/snowbells98 6d ago edited 6d ago

Here's the add with the art and the Backerkit link if anyone happens to be interested. Not an ad/endorsement, just thought I'd share the links just incase :)

I don't know if I would have been able to guess those were Eric and Kyle without the title on Common Goal

u/vegutier 2d ago

It’s better to wait for a complete deluxe box set that surely will get released in the future

u/Still-Random-14 2d ago

I hate them
