๐ŸŽค Artist Robert Gould ๐ŸŒŽ Country United States of America (USA) (US)  โ€ข Born 1952

Robert (Bob) Gould is a talented illustrator best known for his vivid depictions of Elric of Melnibonรฉ and other fantasy subjects. He has created artwork closely tied to Michael Moorcockโ€™s universe, including covers for bands like Hawkwind, Spirits Burning & Michael Moorcock, and even a live release by Falcon.

Unfortunately, despite the shared fantasy themes, thereโ€™s little to no direct connection between Gould and Cirith Ungol.
Still, his work feels spiritually in tune with the world of sword and sorcery that Cirith Ungol evokes.
