The Freelancer box art makes me want to have a space adventure. It's nice that everything they painted is in the actual game too.

Tomomi Kobayashi's work on saga frontier was really cool






usually a skeleton man is like, 'lich king' so it is nice to see a different, fancier skeleton man.

First, let's get these out of the way:
I believe this is from Nintendo Power right when Super Metroid was big:


Out Of This World / Another World:


Some personal favorites:
Transarctica


Chapter screens from Marathon II, and some of Craig Mullins' earliest commercial work


And the comedy option:

The early '80s had some pretty kickass semi-cartoon artwork:



This should have been the cover of the book:



And Psygnosis's Amiga games had a ton of Roger Dean and John Berkey stuff, but I don't think that any of it was original, sadly.

I've said this before in other threads but this is my favorite art ever of Samus. It just encapsulates what makes her badass perfectly.

Always liked this piece of the Citadel from ME2.


And this piece from Dishonored's Witches of Brigmore is neat.

It's okay if you have any questions.


I was always a fan of the game maps that came with the Might and Magic games.

My personal favorite from that series was the opening screen for the first chapter. The title, if I recall, was "Vic on a Real Bad Day".

The original and correct Ico and Shadow of the Colossus artwork should be here:



I have a suspicion that the latter was actually rendered in the game's engine.

Aren't all of these fan-art? I thought Stalker 2 was cancelled.

edit: Nevermind, the fan.com logo comes from it being a fan-site that first acquired the images, which are indeed legit.

Ayami Kojima mostly worked on the Castlevania series but I'm not that familiar with them so maybe some of this is just her own art idk.

This would ultimately become the American boxart for God Hand, though what we got was slightly different.

For games with some loving horrible controls I cannot believe how enjoyable they were I remember them being, But the official artwork springs to mind immediately when this topic is mentioned.


KYNE IS(n't) GUILTY. (Totally guilty of stabbing motherfuckers though, the way I played.)

Unfortunately as 99% of the Amiga games I acquired as a kid were pirated copies I missed out on some drat nice artwork.







Also, arcade art can be nice (enjoy your cheap 3d rendered replica):
