Psygnosis Art/Posters

Hi,

Does anyone have any good quality scans or art of Amiga Psygnosis Games that I could print and hang on my Man cave wall. Looking for a variety of Psygnosis Art, preferably without logo but happy either way.

Thanks.

Most Psygnosis box art is completely game unrelated, bought from 3rd party source.

Examples:

Agony: Planet of death painting by Tony Roberts, 1982
Amnios: 'Dragon drone' painting for 1979 calendar by Tim White
Ork: 'Behemoth's World' painting by Richard Clifton Dey
Baal: oil painting called 'Jaws' by Melvyn Grant
Blood Money: illustration for Larry Niven's book 'Protector' by Peter Andrew Jones
Infestation: cover for Terry Prattchett's book ‘Dark Side of the Sun’ by Tim White

...etc. So maybe search for those, you can find them without logos.

This site seems like a good place to check: https://www.sci-fi-o-rama.com/2018/0...-3-roger-dean/

There's also Exotica, which remains a staple in Amiga covers: https://www.exotica.org.uk/wiki/Amiga_Game_Box_Scans

So wish I could buy a print of Planet Of Death somewhere. Some frantic search engine results weren't fruitful.

Do you mean P.O.D? Coincidentally I came across this art recently - grab your favorite pic, take it to your local MegaOfficeSupplyJoint and print in gloss if possible

No, they mean the planet of death painting used for Agony as mentioned in the second post.

P.O.D. doesn't even seem to have anything to do with Psygnosis. The topic of this thread.

I just added an Agony poster to the HOL entry: https://hol.abime.net/3209/miscshot
Had to reconstruct a few parts, but if you want I can send a non-watermarked version to you.

Does any own the original poster as the ones I have come across on flee bay have a different color tonality and warmer look than the one on hol.

I ask because I have worked on the poster for couple days and will be very nice for a A3 print which I will post here when finished for any one who wants it for some wall art.

Thanks.

I should mention that the colors on HOL aren't guaranteed to be accurate. The quality of the source material differs vastly. That doesn't automatically mean the ones on eBay are more accurate.

That is why I am asking if some one has the poster so I am in at least in the same ball park.

I finally decided to go with this but you can change yourself if need be.

If anyone wants the original file which is much bigger and capable of printing maybe A2 size pm me.

I enjoyed the task just for fun hope it maybe of some use to some one.
I run the image through my color work flow and printed not to bad.

Thanks to HOL for the image.

Jamie.

Great job Jamie, it looks fantastic!
If you could share the higher res image (perhaps in the Zone?) I'm certain it would be much appreciated!

Why not ask the original artist if he could sell you a print?

The poster looks really good I'd like to add it to HOL with your credit if that's okay.

For the full effect open that poster in a new tab so you can zoom it to the original size. Pretty epic.
