More fanart from Deviantart being used without apparant permission.

It's pulled. I like this better than most of the in-game shots I saw in GIS, so if someone can contact the artist and ask for permission, that'd be great...I'd do it now but I don't have time.

It's a good image; email sent.

The depiction of Porky is kind of a spoiler.

But it isn't clearly portraying him as a villain. Or is it specifically his presence that's a spoiler?

It is a bit of a Late-Arrival Spoiler, though, what with his appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Yeah, I think the fact that Porky is in the game alone isn't much of a spoiler. If it actually showed the spoilerific things he does, that'd be one thing, but that just shows him there, so it's not really a spoiler.

http://kurkoboltsi.deviantart.com/art/MOTHER3-259663076 could be a potential alternative. The artist has a tumblr of the same username where they seem to be active and could be reached to ask permission.

Haven't had any word from the artist of the original pic, drat.

In the meantime, do you want to simply post an image of the game's boxart◊, as with the first two games in the series? As a bonus, the logo reflects some of the game's themes.

It's better than nothing.

The former pic reflected many more of the game's themes, though... we outta keep looking for permission if possible, or was permission already denied?

I don't think anything's been said one way or the other.

Indeed. If someone wants to try sending him a dA note rather than an email, go ahead, but that's even less likely to work. The box art is better than nothing.

Clock is set.

I personally like the current image (just the boxart). It's minimalist and I feel it fit the nature of the game better

The clock's up; since someone already put the boxart on the page, I'd say we're good. Locking up.
