>Actually cool westernized covers>posts not the actual box art or manual cover art, but a Nintendo Power poster
>>11058829If we’re talking the fantasy genre, the West has always had the best cover art.
>>11058829I've never really cared for Matsushita's style, but most of the other Western covers for Adventure Island came off as too Hanna-Barbera. But Adventure Island II's cover was more exotic and interesting.
>>11059068That's literally a "Matsushita asks too much" illustration, but it's nice somebody appreciates it over the original.
i've loved weeb shit with the best of them but maturing and adulthood is realizing western cover art wasn't so bad and in fact are usually unfairly hated
>>11059162You'd think maturing and adulthood would be more about avoiding generalization one way of the other, but here we are.
>>11058985I've always loved this one. It almost feels like the poster of a live action Mega Man movie.
>>11058861that fighter is fucked
>>11058985So 1960-ish
>>11058861its weird how the west went from men wishing they could bulk up and pick up a sword and slay a giant beast with itto men wishing they could become more slim and feminine and have sex with a giant beast
>>11058829Did they really photograph a cheap ass sword with a flat top screw on its hilt?
>>11059241It’s symbolic foreshadowing for how buggy the game would be.
>>11059036Saitama...
>>11059068It feels like a mix between Matsushita and Rousseau.
>>11058852I was using the word "Cover" liberally. Idgaf though
>>11059027>tranimeSite was born as an anime board election season newfaggot
>>11059228lmao I think the latter existed in every era. Hot though
>>11059228strange thing to say about D&D which is a game famously played by primarily Nerds
>>11059495I think that's the point. In the 70s and 80s nerds were still fascinated by the strong warrior. Now they wallow in pathetic indulgence
it's just weird how western cover art is 50% classically trained artist and 50% "my 4 year old son drew this so I put it on the game"
>>11058829that castle has such nonsensical architecture it brings to mind current AIslop

>>11059485>I was using the word "Cover" liberally. Idgaf thoughCover is not a word that can be used liberally. It is a noun. A noun you used wrong. You used the wrong word because you are dumb.

From the Arcades - a Tigress!
>>11060204Have you considered it's purpose is to look cool on a cover. Who the hell cares about architecture on a fantasy game promo>>11060283It is a Pin Up/Poster that could be the Cover of something. Maybe I should have said that instead
>>11059068I like this one. it gives me children's book vibes like Where The Wild Things Are or something.
>>11058985
>>11059187Nah he’s fine. He hasn’t even yelled really loudly yet. The dragon has no idea what it’s in for.
