Love all these covers - it's a true joy to be the first eyes upon the work our wonderful core of volunteer artists creates on a weekly basis. Selecting just 10 to nominate from the half billion eligible was painful. I'm sure the rest of you will have my omissions covered.

I of course nominate none of my own work - there is an embarrassing amount (I went DARP crazy, don't hold it against me). And I didn't double up on any single artist.

• 16 - John Deberge

• 22 - Rodolfo Arredondo

• 39 - Brent Holmes

• 79 - Jonathan Wilson

• 98 - Matt Wasiela

• 123 - Forrest Warner

• 199 - Bill Halliar

• 201 - Alyssa Suzumura

• 211 - Michael Hoskins

• 208 - Jerel Dye

This is some awesome stuff! I love 'em all. My favorites:

126 Adam Doyle "Dagon"
53 Rick Green "Sing"
22 Rodolfo Arredond "Black & White Animals II"
11 Bo Kaier "Black & White Animals I"
216 Jan Dennison "Book of Eternity"
214 David Flett "Demon Achtromagik"
62 Bo Kaier "Sizzle" (still listed as Unclaimed)
119 Bo Kaier "7 Deadly Drabbles"
55 Mary Mattice "Circes"
91 Kelly Macavaney "Gifting Bliss"

[tbaker2500]

Yes! Public acknowledgment for all this awesome art. (Bo, there are so new ones it looks like- I need to update from M4A's apparently)

I hate to pare this down to just 10. Well, here they are in reverse numerical order:

216 - Jan Dennison
207 - Bo Kaier
206 - Philippa Jones
200 - Adam S. Doyle
126 - Adam S. Doyle
123 - Forrest Warner
119 - Bo Kaier
115 - Bo Kaier
19 - Mary Mattice
11 - Bo Kaier

[ROU Killing Time]

The Darp entries makes this a fiendishly difficult assignment. (Maybe you should award a separate "DARP-award.")

[behind the ziggurat]

I pick:

Hokkaido Green - Jerel Dye

B&W Animals Part 1 - Bo Kaier

I-81 - John Deberge

The Metamorphosis of the Phosphorescent Avenger - David Flett

B&W Animals Part 2 - Rodolfo Arredondo

Gifting Bliss - Kelly Macavaney

The Groggleberry Thief - Matt Wasiela

The 7 Deadly Drabbles - Bo Kaier

In the Octopus's Garden - Bill Halliar

Ancient Engines - Matt Wasiela

[StalinSays]

The Darp entries makes this a fiendishly difficult assignment. (Maybe you should award a separate "DARP-award.")

I genuinely thought about it - the copious entries does make selection very taxing. But with the high percentage of Bo in the DARP category, it'd give the impression of me angling {it's all about me, isn't it?}. Which isn't to say I'm the high water mark for DARP (Doyle's Dagon and Deberge's I-81 rock hard), just that I have numbers. Also, two art categories strikes me as redundant. You'll have to make due with the overflow.

Decided only to consider covers from this last year. My top 7:

230 Matt Wasiela
227 Adam S Doyle
216 Jan Dennison
212 Matt Wasiela
208 Jerel Dye
200 Adam S Doyle
196 Sean Azzapardi

[StalinSays]

Decided only to consider covers from this last year. My top 7:

All covers appearing above are from this last year. The DARP was an effort starting in July 2011 to provide covers for our first 133 episodes, which were released before the practice began.

[adonisatreus]

119 Bo Kaier

53 Rick Green

6 Matt Schindler

210 Matt Schindler

212 Matt Wasiela

215 Bo Kaier

216 Jan Dennison

218 Rodolfo Arredondo

220 Liz Pennies

225 Steve Santiago

[Algernon Sydney is Dead]

#2, "Longing for Love", Bo Kaier has to make the list! That's about the best unicorn pic I've ever seen.

Then we also have:
#226, B-Sides 15, #211, #207, #123, #115, #95, #49, #11

[Dr. Ew]

I feel like a cheater in the other categories... I need to do more listening so I have a well rounded vote.
But at least for the art I can tell you right off the bat:

#1 PICK - #77 - Bo Kaier - Permanent Detention (it's the eyes!!)

in no discernible order for the other 9 (minus the obvious numerical)

#6 - Matt Schindler - The Frog Prince
#11 - Bo Kaier - Black and White Animals Part 1
#19 - Mary Mattice - Srendi Vashtar
#22 - Rodolfo Arrendondo - Black and White Animals Part 2
#68 - Bo Kaier - The Wiggly People
#115 - Bo Kaier - Clown Eggs
#211 - Michael Hoskins - At The End of the Hall
#214 - David Flett - The Wish of the Demon Achtromagk
#221 - Rick Green - Year of the Rabbit

If I haven't already read them, these are the covers that have lured me in, to put on my to-do list.

[Discodave]

# 227 The Star

#225 Trifecta XIX

#211 At the End of the Hall

#208 Hokkaido Green

#126 Dagon

[ROU Killing Time]

2,84,91,94,115

How they hell did I survive that plane crash, and WTF am I doing on this weird-ass island?

[ROU Killing Time]

#2, "Longing for Love", Bo Kaier has to make the list! That's about the best unicorn pic I've ever seen.

QFT. That's indeed awesome, Bo. Love the droopy horn.

[Dolohov]

Still listening like a demon so I feel comfortable voting in the other two categories, but here are my votes for this one. In no particular order:

230, 228, 208, 98, 19, 200, 206, 212, 223, b15
