I haven’t always included promotional art for my challenges, but I think that, if there’s enough of it out there, I’m going to have this be another one of those staple topics that I cover. As an artist myself who is planning on doing cover art for my own stuff (I know, I’ll probably change my mind), I like to see how others have interpreted their characters to draw in viewers. BGC kept it pretty simple throughout most of their run, and I feel like it was pretty heavily inspired by other sci-fi movies, like Star Wars and Blade Runner, with maybe a splattering of 1940s and 1950s pinups.
Regardless, it’s absolutely gorgeous and makes me miss the days when anime was this style. Here are some of my favorites, but you should totally go down the rabbit hole which is BGC art.
