Art of Nintendo Power | 353 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) Welcome to my Nintendo Power Original Art Thread! These are all pieces from my collection of Nintendo Power Art. Unless specifically noted, all pieces are the original paintings or drawing from published issues or strategy guides. Enjoy! FYI I will not answer questions about how or where I acquire work, or who the artists are. While I am happy to share, I have no interest in creating my own competition.

RH | 4,895 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Seriously guys, even if you don't like the YouTubers, you should check out the video link Archon posted a couple weeks ago, where that crew went and toured his collection. It's definitely an impressive site to behold. I own absolutely zero, original art for games in any form. I have no clue where to start, or how to get this stuff at reasonable prices but, man, I love it. Archon's collection is truly one to envy, even if you've been collecting for 30 years.

Code Monkey | 2,005 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 So you're the guy posting these on Facebook. You make my toilet time much more fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedy_NES | 102 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Very nice pieces! Thanks for sharing with the community. Love the framing jobs, too. Hopefully your source has even more goodies to preserve and add to the collection down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaryice | 582 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 We almost got a FF6 cover? Awesome. Looking at the covers from that time, I'm guessing they ended up doing Illusion of Gaia instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This actually isnt everything I have, nor is this from a single source. You're looking at a dozen different sources. 1 hour ago, scaryice said: We almost got a FF6 cover? Awesome.

Sadly I don't have any background as to why that Shadow piece was selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smalltownguy2 | 2 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 What a small world we're in. I'm a moderator on the Nintendo Power Facebook page, and when I started seeing original art pieces get posted on the page, I knew it was just a matter of time before I found them posted elsewhere. Fine collection you have here. If you ever consider letting any go, please keep me in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
