I haven't posted here in a while so here's a cover featuring Silent Hill 1. I love when you can tell the artist didn't have much too go on and did their best. I couldn't find any art credits for this image so if anyone has any ideas let me know!

The artist for this Resident Evil 3 Nemesis cover isn't credited and despite my digging I'm drawing a blank. If anyone has any ideas let me know!
Edit: The artist is Alex Garner (credit in the bottom right). Thanks to everyone pointing it out to me. I can't believe I missed that!

I promise I'm going to try not to make this a PSM fan account, but they had some of the best covers, like this one for Tomb Raider 4. PSM Issue 25
Art: J G Jones
Colors: Brian Haberlin

Unlike some publications that failed to credit their cover artists, PSM would include a brief look at the creative process!
