kennetzel Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 After doing the River Raid art for Mef, I got carried away so to speak. I experimented with other box covers. I can only do the one style of Activision games due to the simple line drawings they are...and most of them have the signature rainbow which proves to be a challenge on every one. But here is another one I did. 6 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/210838-activision-box-art/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Eyeball Mural Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Very nicely done, all of them! Though I'm a (very) long-time lurker, this thread has motivated me to post something I did several years ago: 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/210838-activision-box-art/#findComment-2945214 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Eyeball Mural Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I did this at the same time as the one above (circa 2006), but polished it up a few months ago... 3 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/210838-activision-box-art/#findComment-2945234 Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckwalla Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 That's great. 1980's Activision had the best video game box art ever and just stimulated the imagination like nothing else.

The Eyeball Mural Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) I illustrated the works above many years ago, based on a small image I discovered on the web, which was discarded later. This meant I couldn't research and credit the original artist when I posted this. Now I can rectify this matter. My image was based on an artwork by Clayton Pond titled Launch, created in 1980. Here is his art: See also: http://claytonpond.com/ http://cdn1.claytonpond.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/launch-proposed-color-scheme-1980.png Edited April 4, 2019 by The Eyeball Mural 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/210838-activision-box-art/#findComment-4251274 Share on other sites More sharing options...
