More Japanese airbrush work by Hideaki Kodama, Kozo Tanaka, and Ikuo Takeda. Unfortunately The PC Engine GT, CD-ROM, and Core GRAFX ad pieces all have issues being scanned in full due to their page layout(s). Could likely make them whole using the full, 2-page magazine ads.
Castlevania: Bloodlines / Vampire Killer - East vs. West - Clean Packaging Artwork: Difficult to pick a favorite, so I'd rather play up their strengths. JP/EU drives home the blood red motif, whereas Tom's NA art is simply breathtaking in it's use of every color imaginable.
Captured the 2005 SEGA / Arc System Works produced 'Fist of the North Star' soundtrack, via line-level input, from the PS2 port's sound test option. Seems most other recordings of this unfortunately have background noise/buzzing, or clip/distort heavily...
Two clean, text free illustrations by Yuji Kaida: 'Ultraman' for the Super Famicom (1990), and 'Aim for the Top - Kohei Tanaka's World' Ultra Sound Collection jacket artwork [VICL-16] (1990).
Here's a trio of Susumu Matsushita curiosities: A Gremlins 2 illustration for the cover of 'Video De Ta' magazine (Jan. 1991), and two LP jackets, "Akaitori Package" (1979), and E.A.T.B.'s "Mobabuna" (1984). All direct scans from their respective media.
"St. George Slaying the Dragon" (2013) / Susumu Matsushita: A somewhat contemporary illustration, similar to his Maximo work. Isolated and repaired the image from a small, worn flyer advertising an art exhibition from a decade ago...
Includes a 10 page manga, ending w/ a neat world map illustration of "Great Adventure Island".
Cover illustration focusing on 悪魔城伝説 "Castlevania III - Dracula's Curse" (12/22/1989).
Whip Rush / ウィップラッシュ 惑星ボルテガスの謎 / 1990 / Sega Mega Drive / VIC Tokai / Renovation / Clean Package Illustrations by Yuji Kaida: Truth be told, I ignored this game when it was first released, however, it was advertised well enough that I became familiar w/ the art.
