Alternate cover for Ultima VII by Denis Loubet

Post by Dominus »

Denis Loubet, THE Ultima, THE Origin artist has a patreon.com site and one of his projects was creating a real cover for The Black Gate.
It's now finished already, but you can only view it if you are a patreon of his. So head on over to https://www.patreon.com/denisloubet and fund him :)

A teaser of the cover can be seen at https://www.patreon.com/posts/state-of-ultima-5699778

Neither page loaded for me. I was able to see this in the page source:
"Official Post from Denis Loubet: As you can see, it's very different from the original concept. Now the battle with Batlin is replaced by the Avatar marching through a river of blood with his companions behind him. The Guardian looms in the background with the Fellowship symbol picked out in stars. The companions are very rough at "
In my formative years I found the black box just awesome. As I later read, it was a supremely confident thing for a publisher to do, as though Origin were saying "If you know what Ultima is, you'd buy this game on that reputation alone." And this was in ye-goode-olde-days when game boxes were two or three times the size they are now.

I'd love to get a new physical copy of the Ultima 7 Movie Poster ad too.

Odd, just tested again and the pages load fine even if you are not logged in Patreon...
