The Zelda II Nintendo Power cover is still probably one of my favorites.

THIS is like pure classic Zelda aesthetic to me. This is what I imagined Link and Zelda might look like in real life when I was a kid.

Maybe the next Zelda game should go for the "Retro" look. 😉
Nintendo power cover with human actors dressed as Link as more of a knight, and a sleeping Zelda on a bed.

Myriad: A San Joaquin Graphic Story Collection #1. A cool collection of stories from 90s artists all from the same part of California. Most of them pretty cliche or silly in terms of plot, but some killer linear art (may favorite type of black and white rendering). #sanjoaquin #comicsky

The Night Mare

#dailysketch 127

These continue to no longer be actually "daily" or actually "sketches", but still keeping them together in the hashtag for easy sorting.

Drawn as part of @jamesbbarrow.bsky.social's Weekly Art Along.
The prompt: "Thrashing Nightmare"

#art #illustration
The following flavour text written for my by my friend @artbyzvesta.bsky.social "Sorry what was that sire? The Night Mare? Are you sure that's the horse you want?" the sounds of some guy with too much money being offended "No, no! O-of course we t-tame her f-for you-" Meanwhile: -- A group of people try in vain to restrain a gigantic six legged horse with ropes. The horse has burning eyes and six siphon-like holes on its neck that appear to be spewing forth the night sky.

The clock is ticking! Remember, The Prison Pits of Larubia features luscious illustrations by @perplexingruins.bsky.social! It's Old School #ttrpg fantasy adventure, with just a splash of pulp science fiction.

I have said before and will say again that it is such a loss that we no longer get covers of this caliber for fantasy books.

This art is by Jean-Léon Huens. These covers are for the Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander. They lit my imagination on fire as a kid.
Young man in a red tunic bearing a sword surrounded by armed glassy-eyed monsters A red robed horseman with a skull face and stag's antlers rides through the forest, the horse rearing back, a shaft of light falling onto the scene A red haired woman in a red dress and a boy in a blue doublet stand in front of a huge black cauldron. In the foreground, three cackling hags. A boy in a blue tunic with a dagger tries to get a sword away from a giant orange cat

From the Days of Mana specials in Nintendo Power: Katsuya Terada's visions of the world of The Secret of Mana, which, like their illustrations for Link's Awakening, lend the game a darker, more mature vibe akin to the artwork you might see in a Wizardry game.
An illustration of three travellers seen from the back, below the gnarled trunks of an immense tree, all done in just a handful of colours: yellow for the grassy hill and sky, two shades of blue for the mountains in the background and the adventurers, and orangey brown for the tree. The Mana Beast, as envisioned by Terada. A monstrous, many-handed dragon-like creature looms over a party of adventurers on a cliff edge, the central character, a tall guy, with a sword raised. An adventuring party struggles along a ruin, one braced against the other, using his sword for support, while a wide-eyed character half out of chamera has a glow over their face. A huge Siberian tiger-like feline, looming over a stepped ornate classical ruin edge.

The artwork of #Ys II by Noriyuki Moto used for a calendar featured in Falcom Special Box '89 arrangement album. It was also featured on the back of Symphonic Ys vinyl record. Added in the signature, applying the usual upscale/clean/retouch process.
Ys II clean artwork by Noriyuki Moto used for a calendar featured in Falcom Special Box '89 arrangement album. It was also featured on the back of Symphonic Ys vinyl record. Image depicts a landscape with a trail where some mountains can be seen in the back, with a building on top of the rightmost one. There are some mysterious eyes in the sky which is composed of a cloudy whirlwind. There are some birds on the left, as well as a leafless tree and some rocks on the right where water is pouring down making a rainbow below.

Mocked up poster held by bulldog clips against a white wall.: Illustrated poster of the tower of Cirith Ungol in the land of Mordor. In the foreground are a bunch of orcs and goblins with acid green rim-light holding swords and axes and pole-arms. In the middle ground is a narrow bridge leading between two grotesque statues into the multi tiered tower that is lit with sickly green lights. Below it leading into the plateau of Gorgoroth are the hills of the Ethel Duath. In the distance is Orodruin and Ered Lithui. The text at the top is white flame like black metal lettering with the words CIRITH UNGOL. Nine green stars float above them. Plumes of smoke and ash fill the sky. A tiny shadow is grossing the bridge. Lord of the Rings. Tolkien. Prints coming soon. Illustrated poster of the tower of Cirith Ungol in the land of Mordor.
