From Dragonmount:

Like The Gathering Storm before it, the first image available of the cover for Towers of Midnight was an early mockup, giving a good idea of the final cover, but lacking polish. Unlike The Gathering Storm, the final cover for Towers of Midnightturned out… not half bad! For a Darryl K. Sweet cover, at least. Much, much, much better than flatulent Rand!

Thoughts?

FOR THOSE HUNTING THE HORN OF VALERE: Don’t dig so deep.
