Spot the Changes: A Study in Aether edition

by

Sometimes seeing it in our minds (or in the rough stick-figure sketch sent to the artist) doesn’t match what we had envisioned. Since we caught so many at this stage, the colour version only had three changes. In this edition of Spot the Changes, we decided to go from the sketch version. There were seven differences between the first sketch and the final cover. Can you spot them all? Don’t scroll down until you’re ready for the answer.

I know everything says “Get it now!” but there’s no link – that’s because the release is delayed a little due to printing issues. Keep checking the UBL page – we will update the link as soon as we have it!

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
