Hmmmm is this legit?

Wow. I think I like it almost as much as I like the artwork on V.... No. Nothing beats the cover of V.
 
I really dig that cover.. I love that it´s mostly different shades of grey and that it´s got a "darker" atmosphere. Can´t wait for the music!
By the way, I really hope that it´s legit... Otherwise, someone´s definitely got toooo much spare time.. :-)
 
here's my case for Legit:

1. They remembered the masks. They appear on every cover.
2. The scene depicted fits with Milton's work. (for the slow, that would be Paradise Lost the book.)
3. It's kinda CGI in a cheesy amateurish way. No offense, but SX covers tend to look that way (except The Odyssey).
4. It seems too detailed to be a joke/fake cover. If it is indeed a fake cover, the artist is familiar with Paradise Lost's themes and characters and is also familiar with the SX cover style (see above 3.), font, and put enough time and effort into it to be taken seriously.

Hence, I conclude it's either real or a very good fake. Also, as a footnote:

5. It was posted on BW. BW tends to be 1000 times more reliable than the ever-idiotic blabbermouth.
 
It looks more like pre the real thing, like a pre production piece. I think that it might change a little in the final piece, assuming it is real :)
