Hope nobody strips of my prize for revealing this, but the "space pilot cowering in the cockpit" is actually me, in my bathrobe, standing against a white wall.   :D  

 

Posing in a bathrobe for an Atari 2600 label will make you inmortal in the obscure part of video game history! :D

Congrats!

Congrats, PDF. Very professional looking and an interesting perspective on the game.

 

Overall, a very nice batch of entries. Lots of variety.

 

Matt Reed, I really like the style of that illustration you did. It's reminiscent of the kind of art featured on some of the ol' Atari packaging, catalogs and instruction manuals. Did you use markers/colored pencils or is that painted?

Congrats to PDF! I thought your labels were some of the best.

DaveD thanks for the kind words!! I painted this with acrylics. I really like the look of the old Atari labels with hand-done/painted artwork. I'm glad you could see that was what I was going for.

If you guys like how the label preview looks, wait until you see the manual. Albert showed it to me at OKGE, and it is a beaut - well done to all involved (and I supplied some extra spacey artwork for the manual which wasn't among my label entries). Believe me, I just wanted to take that puppy home with me. :D
