A fuller image of the Mutant League Hockey artwork can be seen to bear the signature "Craddock 93" below the mutant's elbow. Alan Craddock confirmed by email that he illustrated the European Sega Mega Drive releases for both Mutant League Football and Mutant League Hockey.
Separately, a VGDensetsu profile for Alan Craddock includes a few additional examples of his 1980s work: http://vgdensetsu.net/2_AlanCraddock.html

Mark Fredrickson also painted the box art for Off-World Interceptor for the 3DO in 1994. Mick McGinty would illustrate the box art for the enhanced port Off-World Interceptor that released in 1995 for the Sony PlayStation and Sega Saturn.

Chris created art for at least two Sega games that were ultimately unreleased: Baby Boom (Genesis/Game Gear) and B-Bomb (Genesis). Baby Boom was signed Dellorco and shared by the Twitter account SEGA Forever. For B-Bomb, the art had sold on Heritage auctions in 2020 without being properly identified. VGDensetsu identified the intended usage of the art and shared the information on Twitter. The owner on Heritage has the "Make Offer to Owner" option enabled.

In addition, based on details in Van's Solstice art, such as the green troll to the right of the wizard, OVGA has now attributed the art for Bandai's 1989 NES title Monster Party to Van Arno. Monster Party would pre-date Hyper Lode Runner and may have been Van Arno's first box art for the company.

Here is a piece from Ezra Tucker that hasn't yet been identified. On his site he lists Nintendo as the client and has the piece titled "Golden Dragon & Knight." If anyone spots a published usage of the art somewhere, leave a comment response!

Bob Wakelin (1952–2018)

In 2013, the Ocean game Firefly was included among a list of missing Bob Wakelin art for which Bob sought help obtaining printable quality images of his work. The published box art appears to bear a two-name signature of an artist other than Bob and has not been included in OVGA's list above.
