Really? no shotgun in this? How is this posible...

>> No.8097829

I guess they thought it wasn't necessary or something. He has one on the cover art though, and there's one or two unused soundfiles for a shotgun inside of the game.

Other than it being a shotgun instead of an M60, I love how accurate this cover art is to the game.

It's fantastic artwork.

There is another version of the cover in which he's wielding the revolver instead of the machete but I can't seem to find it anymore

It's on the artist website but the link seems to be dead

Same guy who did the Doom PSX cover art and you can see they are both very similar

Found it but it's not high res. Notice also it's missing some details like the water splashes or the effect around the fireball, so it looks like an early version

also the picture is cropped in the actual cover

It's by the same guy who did the cover art for Playstation Doom.

>>8098259
Yeah! Not only does it show just action, scenery, and characters from the game, depicted with good accuracy, it's just a fantastic piece of art in itself. It's showing the hero emerging from the piranha infested waters, brandishing his machete at the foul and dangerous monsters he's about to engage in mortal combat with.
I love the composition, I love the colors, even by the 90s this was a cover art which was above most others, one of the top examples, for its own artistic quality, and for giving the player a very good idea of what the game will be like. I can't think of any cover art I've seen in the last 10 years which is this good.

I wish I could paint like that, especially the movie posters. I'd paint scenes from retro game all day. What kind of material did he use for these? Acrylics? Oil?
