Game art copied from elsewhere
Re: Game art copied from elsewhere
To be honest Ralf, I think this one is a coincidence.
Re: Game art copied from elsewhere
Of all the loading screens you could copy, why on earth would anyone choose thst one?

The Lap of the Gods cover also copies The Magnificent:

It's not quite an exact match (the arms are slightly different), but it's very close.

We've already had The Shard of Inovar, but I've found a second Vallejo source image.

There's got to be a Vallejotron that clamps various figures together randomly... if not... crap game material?
Re: Game art copied from elsewhere
The Vallejotron is at it again...
The figure in Anaconda is also from Vallejo:

And another one from.Vallejo:
Boris Vallejo, In the Underworld
Amaurote cover
I strongly suspect the other figures in the Amaurote cover can be traced back to Vallejo, too, but since R-Tape's buttock-o-meter is hitting red, I'll stop there for now!

Re: Game art copied from elsewhere
The right-hand figure in the Amaurote cover closely resembles the one in the Rebel Planet artwork.

Amaurote (1987) might have been copied from Rebel Planet (1985) or both might have copied another source.

Re: Game art copied from elsewhere
I wonder if the Specventure inlay is based on anything well known. Something like The Flash, or maybe a speed skater.
Re: Game art copied from elsewhere
The third Amaurote figure is also from Vallejo:
Boris Vallejo, Tarnsman of Gor
And yes, the buttock-o-meter is now off the scale, and R-Tape's yelling "she cannae take no more!"

Re: Game art copied from elsewhere
This thread shows me how many cover games were inspired by Boris Vallejo. Incredible!
Re: Game art copied from elsewhere
Good spot.
If I ever get round to making another loading screen, it is going to be made entirely from bits of Boris Vallejo paintings for that genuine retro feel.

Re: Game art copied from elsewhere
When you become an illustrator, you automatically receive the “Boris Vallejo Big Book of Poses”. Mine must have got lost in the post which is why I’ve not drawn any life like people. I’m waiting for the reprint this year.
Re: Game art copied from elsewhere
Remember the woman from the National Lampoon picture? Well, she's back - in Double Dragon II, with some adjustments. Her left leg has been repositioned and her right arm replaced with a tentacle wrapped round the guy's neck, but it's her, all right.

(And, of course, it's another Vallejo.)

Re: Game art copied from elsewhere
Is it just me or does this female leg in Double Dragon II inlay seems weirdly long?
Re: Game art copied from elsewhere
so vallejo lives near to a gym and gets the patrons to pose for him, spends a few hours painting them...then everyone else just traces the figures

Is it pervy?* I can't see it on two different devices, one says parental controls!

No. The pic is about two warriors fighting (how original! - Ed)
And the game cover is about two warriors fighting as well.
