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

American illustrator Greg Wray has confirmed for OVGA that he did the box art for the second game, Great Circus Mystery. I believe Greg may have also done the box art for the third game (released in Japan for SFC) but he doesn't remember perfectly and has given mixed answers

Yeah, probably not the most effective approach. The above ad (with 6 figures) appeared in GamePro 58 (May 1994). I'm realizing that there was a 7th illustration (surely also by Barry Jackson) that appeared in the following month's issue that continues the gag (GamePro 59, June 1994)

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?

I don't believe the artist has been identified. The original image is by a Japanese artist (I think Kazumi Kakizaki) and then the image you asked about I believe was redone by a UK artist with the design firm Khartomb. However the specific artist that Khartomb hired remains a mystery

I doubt it ever was planned to have different art than this. If you have the license and your game is leaning on that IP to make sales, using the iconic imagery with Arnold makes sense (to me)

As a big Sega guy, I'd love for the original art for the game box or ad art to surface

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"

Great find, thank you! From that I was able to find this image, a digital wallpaper for the game. Cool!

Anyone have any idea what video game this art is for? The art is by Paolo Pantalena and is dated 2013. The art looks pretty distinct, maybe a fighting game, but I don't recognize any of the characters. This is marked on CAF as an unknown video game illustration: www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece...

Kevin Murphy (b. 1968) previously confirmed for OVGA that he painted the box art for Viacom's 1996 PlayStation and Windows game Slamscape. Wonderful to see the full art! Scan is courtesy of @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social: archive.gamehistory.org/folder/58da0...
