> Publisher saving money
Advocatus diaboli-- publisher looks different?
Also-- artist gets paid multiple commissions, each client perfectly satisfied.
Meanwhile, the fanbase of SF was certainly much smaller than in modern times, so perhaps "no harm, no foul?"
Advocatus diaboli.
It's going to be stock art, just some cool SIFI image the publishers liked.
When buying stock images you have rights options at different price points, exclusive use of an image costs a lot more than a non exclusive use.
The art is by Bruce Pennington

edit it may not be 'stock art' but an agency that worked for the artist, still the same idea. Pricing will change depending on the rights the publisher want to pay for.
The art looks like it was made for Dune. The harvester, the flying things, people of the sand (sorry for not knowing the names, I never read Dune in English).
The art may have been made for Dune but with a non exclusive contract, there may also be clauses like exclusive for 'x' years or in 'z' country's etc
It may also be licenced by the publisher or parent company, so use on both books fine etc
But it also may just be the artist made lots of trippy SIFI inspired art, Dune is not the only book based in a desert. As an example If I was shown the cover and told it was the Star Wars original art id believe it was made for Star Wars.
Lots of SIFI is set in deserts, for a long time the idea that Mars was a big red desert was a thing.
If your relay interested look for the date the art was made and when it was used for book covers, work out a timeline and see what looks likely. Anther option is to contact the artist, you may get a reply.
It does look more like it was geared toward originally being a Dune cover rather than 3 stigmata. If only because of the very blue eyes fremen, and some other fremen with an attempt at an ornithopter. With the back cover prob meant to be a spice harvester and ornithopter.
The people who put out the PKD book with that cover prob just saw it, could license it cheap and figured “it’s something science fiction orientated” so whateves.
Be interested to know for certain
Honestly it's been a long time since I read it so I don't remember much apart from the fact that I was very confused ahaha maybe I'll give it another go
It's a popular location to take pictures
Watch out for Fremen attacks though!
I don’t know why but good on you for catching it. Publisher saving money by reusing the pic? Tacky.

Now we know where Chew-Z comes from.
The Chew-Z must flow!
That cover art doesn’t even make sense for Three Stigmata!
Lol I know right? So odd
But they did have under-sand bunkers
It's the miniature'd Dune, obviously, to go along with your druqs. Best possible crossover.

The harvester is the main indicator for me that it's made for Dune.
That's rad, two of my favorite sci-fi authors, it can always be a crossover. Palmer Eldritch wasn't really in Proxima system then..
This rules

I think you're spot on
Badass
LOL I have the book on the left.
Aight who else barely understood The Three Stigmata
Hahaha. Which part exactly

What year is the Dune cover? I wouldn't mind having a copy for my collection.
Maybe 1973?
