Jeremyamoto | 30 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 I figured we could use an original art thread to show off some special pieces in our collections! Whether it's box cover art, magazine cover art, or advertisement art, I want to see them! Only one-of-a-kind's allowed Allow me to kick things off with one of my favourite pieces: Hitman HD Trilogy Xbox 360/PS3, Square Enix, by Jason Edmiston! This cool artwork, done in acrylics on heavy watercolour paper, is the only traditional box cover artwork for the entire franchise. I've always loved the series and I was very happy to add this to my collection. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Products of their time for sure, but this was a nice change of pace and I’m glad Square Enix went this route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremyamoto | 30 Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) Here’s another piece I acquired a few months back from Archon1981. This is the original cover painting for Uniracers, SNES! NOTE: The artwork on the box appears a bit different due to some digital editing after the painting was submitted. The track above the unicycle is line art on vellum and was coloured and inserted digitally. Edited June 7, 2020 by Jeremyamoto 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks great Any chance any one had ever heard of aquiring original Pokemon card art? It seems like there should be an excess of it given the total amount of cards but I can't find any anywhere.

Uniracers is a great game for sure! Pokemon card art is all likely owned by the company. It’s a little impossible to get any Japanese art as illustrators do not sell their published work. I know Christopher Rush did a Mewtwo promo card for them back in the 90s, but that’s the only American pokemon art that I know of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
