The "from Movies/Animes etc. stolen Videogame Backgrounds" - Thread

there was an old PC Surgery simulator called "Life and Death" and when your patient died, and you got a reprimand. your Doctor's face was shown... he was straight-up alan Alda.

 

From the Amstrad version of Gun.Smoke/Desperado:



This is from Lucky Luke, no doubt, but I couldn't find the exact reference image.

 

Yeah, its def. a jolly jumper look-a-like.

Ps. In the meanwhile i've found quite a few more which i will post soon.

 

SOMEwhat related, there's a well known comics artist named Greg Land. I've always hated his work because everybody looks the same. He has one body type for women and one for men so there can be a group of ladies in the same page together and no matter what their age or ethnicity, they all have the exact same body and hair. I learned to hate him more when I found this site that shows just a few examples of him cross referencing photos and movies and sometimes just plain tracing from a movie or other comics artist's work!
