The artwork used on the sides of arcade machines and old school console games was wild. Lots of drugs must have been involved because ultimately the game represented the jousters in like 7 or 8 pixels and yet some artists came up with the image at the top of this thread.
sniff "So my vision for this game is Tron on ostriches, but with a heavy focus on medieval jousting."
Hiro really knocked it out of the park with that painting, though. A real triumph of foreshortening.
It’s foreshortening; there’s nothing “triumph” about it. That being said, hell yeah it’s gorgeous artwork.
