• Artist: Gary Ruddell
• Description: King's Field (US) cover concept art. Perhaps the rarest collectible of all, a one of a kind oil painting by renowned fantasy artist Gary Ruddell who has painted several works of art for the Magic the Gathering card game. The triangular hilt on the right-side sword was turned into a circular design on the final game box cover. But the original triangular hilt still appeared on the manual and 'Black' phone cards which came in the original 'long box' game release. It's last know owner was Agetec's producer Mark Johnson.
