I have amended the post, becaus...Hi, again, Brian!<br /><br />I have amended the post, because it turned out that the author himself was the cover artist!! Well, I really had no idea.

I think that you are correct about them.<br /><br />I also appreciate how you broke down how the image was likely created.
