Chris is the one who draws covers without actually having read the book. Take a look at his covers for The Dresden Files series. All wrong. Harry does not wear a hat and early on, his cloth duster was changed for a leather duster. So on most of the covers, we have Harry wearing a hat with a cloth duster. That's wrong. It just doesn't work. I'm sorry, but when the illustrator gets such simple details wrong, it's not a sign that the illustrator actually cares.
