This was already posted over at Nintendo Age.
Bruce was an illustrator who worked on many projects but is perhaps best known for his fantasy pieces with dragons on them.
In between the big jobs he somehow found a way to squeak a few videogame boxes out.

I didn't find a ton of information about his death but he died a year ago June 2013.

While I didn't personally know Bruce I was familiar with his work. Over the years I was able to purchase a couple originals that he created for video games.

SNES Metal Morph


PS1 Knights of Karnage (unreleased in US) aka Legend in PAL
