Roger Dean – Brataccas

This is Roger Dean’s first piece of commissioned artwork for the legendary 80/90s Games House Psygnosis, and dates from way back to 1986.

In addition to Roger Dean Psygnosis also used other Sci-Fi-O-Rama Favorites Tim White and Peter Andrew Jones examples of which I’ve elsewhere on the blog.

Not all of the Psygnosis’s games were that memorable but the artwork certainly was. Much of the art had been used before as SF Novel covers, but  I think it’s fair to say that it reached a much wider and younger audience thanks to Psygnosis.
