Incline Favorite cRPG cover art/boxart/promo art

Today GOG spammed me yet another mail to sell me something, but this time the cover art caught my eye. The game is Witchaven, a FPS from 1995 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witchaven.

At first I thought the artist could be Frazetta, thinking the character was Death Dealer. But achtually the painter is named Ken Kelly. Wait a minute, I know this name. So I check on Wikipedia and, yes the Ken Kelly that did the cover art for the amazing Rising album from Rainbow! I highly recommend to listen to it, and the first Rainbow album aswell. Both top tier albums. Rising has the amazing Stargazer, a song that I listened countless times yet it still gives me the chill everytime. The Temple Of The King on the first album is also one of my favorite songs. Truely evocative songs, powerful, flawless. Master musicians and Ronnie James Dio at his best.
Ken Kelly also did two covers for Kiss, Destroyer and Love Gun. And a lot of Manowar covers that are rather nice (but I don't like Manowar, expect a few songs).

And his Wikipedia page says he died just a month ago... on June 3rd
Rainbow's music is so dear to me, it made me sad to learn of his passing.
RIP Ken Kelly

Hmmmm.....
Metal Archives - Rainbow

Many rockbands I never hear about. But when I do.... I investigate.

Didn't the guy who drew this become a furfag?

My fucking disc didn't work. So that's pretty much the face I made too as I yelled at the computer.

Hey Keighn, in my post about the Dragon Wars cover I mentioned my Boston Terrier, well this past weekend I stalked your profile posts for almost an hour desperately trying to find a post you made that I'd seen a few days prior and was dying laughing at but couldn't for the life of me recall what thread it was in. Then I finally found it; I wanted to show my daughter and was determined to find it but it took forever. It was in the thread for Grim Dawn lol, this one:

This kept staring though

Deus Ex's really is awesome. It perfectly sets the tone for the game and the big box is just beautiful. Most prized part of my collection.

Ah yeah, i screenied it from a video of the guy selling plushies from the game. Sometimes you never know what is hidden in the background.

It looks so much like my dog lol, except her coat is brindle instead of pure black and white. She makes that same face in certain circumstances and we couldn't stop laughing at the similarity.

Nothing in Fallout is more iconic than power armor.

Yes but from the cover/promo art perspective its just a prerendered mugshot with some ruins in background

Fallout is a western with a science-fiction veneer, but the cover art has a foreground consisting solely of power armor (or rather a helmet and shoulders) and a background consisting solely of ruined buildings. Unfaithful to the game and poorly composed.

Granted, Fallout 2's cover is worse:

Nah, the original cover is pretty good, it has a very appropriate retrofuturistic feel, it anticipates and makes exciting the late game power armor, and it has a clear postapocalyptic background, again hinting at big cities and not just small villages like Shady Sands. Its sequel's cover was indeed crap though.

Now that's a big ass snake.

For me this is one of the cheesiest box art's ever, its still great though.

Lol

She pegged that Wonder Twin to death. Silly Zan. They weren't kidding on her being deadly. Climax at the start... DOOMED!

Sillyness aside. Damn! Another title that passed me by. I curse my software stores.
