Gawd that wolverine is awful!

As I said earlier, so much skill, so little talent.

Here’s my contribution to this thread! Julie Bell’s cover artwork to the unreleased game for the Super Nintendo, Arcus Odyssey.

I played that game on the Genesis. That's the second game someone pointed out that they did. We talked about their Valis cover somewhere around here.

They probably did around 40 of them when you add them all up between Boris and Julie.   I had at least a dozen of them at one time

So many great covers! Even the unpublished or alternate ones (biased).

Did you have the Valis one? I only did a quick search so far. I need to find a gallery with all of their video game covers.

I think we did something along those lines in the Facebook group

I've had this Julie Bell Gen13 cover painting for a while now. This was for a novel based on the comic book.

An early Vallejo book cover prelim I just picked up.

I have several Boris pieces, this one at his peak time (in my opinion). A hero, a villain, a monster and a damsel in distress. What more can you ask for!

I mentioned in another forum, how a lot of pieces from a certain artist work hit the market at one time (like a collector dumps 20-30 piece all at once). Between 2005-2007, it seemed like Heritage had 3-4 pieces of his every auction (and some in the illustration auctions). Now, if they have two or three pieces a year, that good (and that doesn't mean they are any good).

Kind thanks to another boardie... have managed to pick up my favorite Vallejo.

This is where Caira makes cracks about coconut oil and says to himself "I gotta hit the gym!"   (Love ya Chris).

So at long last I can update this thread with the seller's pic while I wait for it to arrive.

Golden Axe II

And who took that lousy picture. I do like the frame though!!!! Wait, that frame is sitting in my closet with no art in it.

Hahaha thanks again

That’s beautiful. I love the attention to detail in the skin on the reptile. It’s a lot like an iguana where they have a lot of extra skin in the dewlap area.  When Boris is “on” he’s hard to beat.

I have the mass produced game art  for that sitting on the kitchen shelf. Didn’t realize until recently it was Boris. I just liked the art and got it in a collection of video games

Boris and Julie did a good 30 or 40 of them.  Most of them are very easily identified between typically being signed and the style they are painted in.   
 

A few of the more popular/notable titles besides golden axe 2 would include Turrican, Run Saber, King of Dragons, Double Dragon V, Phantasy Star IV, Castle Wolfenstein 3D, Splatterhouse 3 and Demon’s Crest.
