Maiden - Legacy of the Beast game Eddies

Thanks. It's fun and curious to see Eddie in different incarnations, although the drawing is not like an album cover. It would be great to have an artwork with Eddie for every Maiden song.

That's interesting, and I've been wondering about it for quite a while. I've been studying some ways to perform it, like gathering a few Maideniacs digital artists and using AI for creating backgrounds. The challenging part, of course, is drawing proper Eddies for each artwork. AI still struggles a lot with that. Nonetheless, I hope that someday we'll have the necessary tools and find people interested in this project. These are things that will possibly work better after the band retires.

Oh the possibilities... In a live setting, they could reuse the coat of a Stranger Eddie and make him come through the on-stage bushes, flashing his...

Okay okay talk about inappropriate gestures and whatnot...

And given the tradition of Bruce trying to match up Eddie's game on stage and defeat him on stage, I think it's best to leave Prowler... well, untouched.
 
UPDATE !!!

Assassin

Hell On Earth Eddie - from the song Hell On Earth.

Inspired by the 2023 tour shirt artwork for the song. A desert background would have been the best fit (like it is for the current tour).

Some dungeons/events in the game.

No Eddies here, but they are thematic - and apart from TWOTW one and the 2023 tour trailer video scenery, I wonder for which Maiden themes the other two are about? Especially the second one on the first row.
