Post great renderings of our favorite retro games. Here is a classic from Yoshitaka Amano.

fun fact Yoji Shinkawa artist for metal gear was inspired by Yoshitaka Amano
>>3256085
He was also inspired by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko's manga "Arion", which he claimed his distinctive shading style was inspired by.
I'll just dump whatever

Cool thread. I'll try looking through my files for specific concept/manual art.

this image is mirrored for some reason. You can tell because Samus' cannon is supposed to be on her left hand!
/vr/'s waifu for laifu
Valis II manual, backside
Mikimoto concept art for the PC Engine Macross 2036 (it's an ok game; story is fanfic-tier with Max's daughter).

Love his work, I got a copy of "Think Like Amano" in the mail a couple weeks back and it inspired me to try out acrylics and gold leafing.
Not the retro boxart, but I remember hanging onto the box for the Advance release for months because I loved the art on it.
What a pain in the butt to compress this one.

With Mail, you're never sure.

Not a great scan (did it on my normal scanner when I still had the game), but it's hard to find a large version of this one.
Game art for Xak II (in the PCE manual). Last one for now.

This is fucking sick

whoa, Navi is actually drawn; now THAT is pretty neat.

Yoshitaka Amano and Tatsuya Yoshikawa are gods when it comes to designing characters and monsters and shit. I especially love all the dragons that Yoshikawa did for Breath of Fire IV, even the ones that look relatively 'traditional' are still weird in some way, like the Aura and Astral dragons having bug wings.
Favorite dragon, coming through. She's especially pretty in the animation they do if you wait at the title screen.

Fuck, forgot to attach the picture. I should probably get some sleep.

No one cared about what hand as much back then

I want to get the BOF complete works set myself, which has art for all 5 games.
Though I feel a little mixed about it since my only experience is with 3 and 4 (been meaning to play 5).

To be honest, I'd go for the Complete Collection first, and find out if there's been stuff omitted from any of the other artbooks, then go after that.
Kaneko's designs are cool as hell.
