Original M1/M2 Cover Artwork by John Bolton!

Post by GodzFire »

(PREFIX: I received this back in April '11, but for the life of me can't remember why it was never posted, so I am doing it now)

In my ever-ongoing quest of contacting members of the classic Bungie team which worked on Myth, I reached out to John Bolton, creator of the M1 and M2 cover artwork. He has an online studio and I was able to reach his wife who helps run it. I expressed how great I thought his artwork was for Myth and asked if he still had the original artwork that might still be available. This was her reply:
The original art for Fallen Lords has been sold but the art for Soulblighter is available. You will notice that the publisher decided to change the colour. If you are interested in buying this painting it measures 51 x 51cm and the price would be £1,650 (British pounds).

I also have the production art in black/white for both Fallen Lords and Soulblighter.

Fallen Lords measures 38 x 39cm price £250
Soulblighter measures 33 x 37cm price £250
Note that as far as I know, those offers are still valid and open. She also sent along pictures of the original pencil sketches of the covers, and lastly, a picture what the M2 cover looked like originally. Enjoy!

if one does not learn from the failings of the past they are likely to suffer its return.
