Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell = Turrican cover artwork (TG-16)

I know some of you think that the cover of Turrican TG-16 is goofy, but it is the only thing I have ever enjoyed about the damn game.

Well, imagine my surprise when I found this:

So, needless to say, I am happy as hell.

NOTE:

Nope, I never noticed that BORIS is clearly on the front box art! It's clear as day, now that I see it. I simply never noticed this, ever before. It's pretty funny, actually.

Is it an original? Buyable? I've never been in that webpage, don't know how it works.

I have not investigated yet, either.

All I can say is that I am jealous of the bastard who owns that print.

And has T-Rex arms.  The foreshortening looks way off...

Not Boris's best.

And his aim is way way fucking off. Guy is just shooting at whatever, not even looking at his targets while he grasp onto his imaginary zip line. Also, his gun has no fucking trigger, so I guess it just fires on its own when it wants to.

You guys are hating on Turrican, a master-at-arms.

As per his therapist's instructions, he is encouraged to "let off a little steam" on particularly stressful days by harmlessly shooting his handgun into the air. It is cathartic. 

Also, mechanical triggers are so yesteryear. Turrican has a more advanced cybernetic relationship with weapons/abilities, which are triggered by various things.

Anyway, I too, feel that Turrican looks like he is posing in the illustration. He clearly cares about his appearance.

So, now we know that Turrican is vain.

This is the closest we will get to a selfie.

Turrican = a vain cybernetic warrior who would grab a "selfie stick"  as quickly as an extra powerup.

A master at T-Rex Arms, you mean.


Turrican is a fag.

You wouldn't kick Turrican out of bed, and you know it.

:)

No trigger and it must not have any kick, as there's no way he could put the stock to his shoulder with that stubby arm.

at least we see why he can't aim up.

How much trouble is it for this motherfucker to take a piss or shit? He's gotta have assistants to help him strip down nude just for that and then redress him. Well unless he's a robot. But then look at his face. It's full flesh! Except for his chin which is a robot chin.

He can't aim up, and you think he can pee?

CyberChin, comrade.

Anyway, he can shoot torpedoes out of his gastro-intestinal tube faster than you can say "floater"...and he doesn't have to wipe (usually).

It's still better than anything and everything Rob Liefeld has ever drawn.
