The box art for Team 17's The Speris Legacy was illustrated by Mark Taylor. I'm not sure whether this is the same Mark Taylor (1941–2021) known for his involvement in the creation of Mattel’s Masters of the Universe (MOTU) franchise

An unused #SNES piece of #Battletoads in Battlemaniacs artwork by Steve Lang. The artwork we got it's pretty good but this one is also fantastic. Usual upscale/clean/retouch process applied. Thanks to @ovga.bsky.social for sharing this one!

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.
His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.
A massive loss 💔

I've been trying to identify the intended usage for this Assassins Creed Origins artwork. I believe it was done for merchandising and the artist Kerry Gammill has also done sculpture designs. The artwork is ultimately preliminary, so despite the differences maybe its this? Any other ideas?

Here's the original line art for Katsuya Terada's #PrinceofPersia piece. I'm not sure its ever been scanned. This is from my copy of Rakuga King 寺田克也ラクガキング which I've been meaning to de-bind for better scans anyway. This is at 600dpi but I did it at 2400dpi & will upload it later

Sad to hear about the passing of the Michelangelo of Movie posters, RENATO CASARO. The Man painted so many iconic posters, specially in the 70s/80s: CONAN, TERMINATOR, DUNE, TOTAL RECALL, DANCE WITH THE WOLVES, BLOW OUT, FLASH GORDON, RAMBO, NEVER-ENDING STORY, and the list goes on and on. 1/2

My restoration of #PrinceOfPersia's artwork by Katsuya Terada used on the cover of the #SuperFamicom and #SuperNintendo (PAL) releases. This is a v2 of my previous work adding missing bits at the top/bottom using different sources, applying the usual upscale/clean/retouch combo.

Turns out those initials are actually MD and the artist is UK illustrator Mark Duffin, who also did the Atari ST box art for Tempest, though Mark confirmed for OVGA that neither original painting was ever returned. Mark said both were a rush and had to be done overnight!

There is a visible signature on the U.S. releases of Mindscape's WWII game Into the Eagle's Nest. Can't quite make it out, but it could start "Au"
