Official Iron Maiden artwork and fan drawn Eddies (no AI images please)

I'm sure It's a for Seventh Son or No Prayer for the Dying stuff ( you can see the bulbs in the sky) . Maybe for the Clairvoyant. Anyway it's the kind of Eddie of that time…

Well spotted about the bulbs in the sky, but it doesn't look like Seventh Son era Eddie to me. It's also too fantasy art for No Prayer (although we can probably say the same about Fear). Idk, it could be a rejected idea for the Seventh Son album? The Prophecy? It's a weird art and with this key.

From what I can remember, Kim(Derek's Wife) told me that he had made it for fun.

Ooh, just made a wall-hanging sculpture of this one. Gonna paint it this weekend, I think.

This art's always been weirdly special to me. It was shortly after I got HUGELY into Maiden, and I was drooling in anticipation for their new album, which would turn out to be The X Factor. I was looking everywhere for anything new Maiden-wise, and found this new shirt, and on the back it read "1995 - Year of the Beast". So, newb that I was, I figured this was going to be the new album art. Nope. Now I just call it a Hallowed Be Thy Name design, since the Legacy game (I believe) coined an Eddie similar to this version Hallowed Eddie (or whatever).

A promo poster for Ed Hunter? Not an original design.

Can confirm it's killer.

I think Virus' 1st artwork is well done for the theme of it and in a classic Maiden style.

This reaper Eddie was also included in the BOTB booklet and for which song or album? The Hallowed LOTB game Eddie is with a different design, while the 1993 live single art for it is inspired by Number Of The Beast album.

The live single art is one of my favorite pieces of all of them. It's another I have framed in my office. I'd be curious to know what the song the 1995 reaper Eddie is tied to, though. It's in the BOTB booklet, but it's location isn't really helpful in determining that. It's on a page that cobbles together the FotD album cover, along with ARLO and ARDO. Next page is Be Quick or Be Dead, where it has the typical newspaper/politician artwork for the single.

Maybe it could be an idea for Bring Your Daughter? Another idea for ARLDO covers? Possible. Idk, Derek had a lot of ideas during that era (FOTD).
