The sword could have been done better, but overall I think it's very good. It's not an official artwork/drawing, just a scanned backdrop made with CGI. Much better than the early 2000's CGI efforts.

Maiden posted on their page #throwbackto Eddies - BOS and SJ. The ones with details from the booklets.
I doubt it's a hint to something, but BOS Eddie was with the jungle at night, maybe that would have been the original album cover with details (not with the green jungle). It's a curious little thought. I think it looks better with the green.
Btw, both albums are a new milestone for the band imo.

Thanks a million for these two Hi-Res Beast of The Beast Eddies. Do you have any more of these Eddies on their own from Best of the Beast?Here's the mummy

Ugh, that it SOOO much better. Makes me sad we're stuck with the unfinished garbage we got.

I saved these two Eddies from Melon Optics. Here you go. Unfortunately, I had to downsize the resolution a bit.Sadly not

If this was the record's cover (no matter if it was green or blue) it would be simply awesome. Perhaps they didn't risk it because it's too explicit and didn't wanted to go through a similar situation to The X Factor. Or Rod simply messed up once again.

MANEIRO!
IMO blows away the original cover (not that it is hard by any means). Anyways... was it you who did it (in other words are you Rómulo)?
Abraço de Portugal.

As I said before the heart ripping Eddie from The Book Of Souls would be one of the best Maiden covers ever IMO.
When it comes to Senjutsu the official cover is really ok. Don't like much the inside illustration. That being said my favorite one from the lot is the back cover. The damn thing once again captures that menacing Killers like creepy grin. I simply love it!
But were I to chose an Illustration with a background for Senjutsu, it would have to be one that isn't featured in the booklet (and somewhat tells me you like it):
Not too filled but excellent environment dynamics and pose. Plus lightning hiting good old Ed is always a must!

This is a possible reason, yes. Maybe marketing too (better cover in the booklet). I agree that the jungle cover would have been great, especially with its colours, although the pyramid (but bigger one) & the jungle could have been more detailed. Btw, Rod prefers covers with details.If this was the record's cover (no matter if it was green or blue) it would be simply awesome.

For TBOS, the other artwork from the booklet would have been very good too:
I prefer the Samurai with the helmet, without it it's a bit similar to BOS Eddie. The inside artwork (the bright one with the Pagoda) is one of my all time favorite artworks of the band. The details are very important for me. I also love the ''rain artworks'' of the Samurai (one of my favorites too), amazing settings, it's just that I want a bright cover of a Maiden album again. But I have to say that the original covers of both albums are very striking, especially TBOS.When it comes to Senjutsu the official cover is really ok. Don't like much the inside illustration.

The backdrop with TFF album cover for the 2011 tour had an artwork that is slightly different (in terms of the drawing) than the actual album cover - it's mostly noticeable in Eddie's head and the moon.

I have a very high resolution of this Eddie image:
I do have the original poster of this Eddie, but I don't have it scanned in yet.

Iron Maiden studio album 17 rumours and speculations
My prediction: • Album gets announced today around 2 pm UK time. • Every detail gets revealed: album cover, tracklist, release date, full article on their site, link to the pre-orders. Even first press interviews with Bruce / Steve / Adrian (?) could start to be released on YouTube, in channels...
