Yes, very cool artwork in a hand drawn watercolour wash style reminding me somewhat of works by Studio Kxx (Krzysztof Domaradzki) http://studiokxx.com/filter/illustration and Yama Orce for THE WITCHER games steelbooks.
In this case all poster designs by BLT COMMUNICATIONS, LLC
Good to see homogeneity of style and colour both outside and in with the designers using four of about fifteen similar style film posters for the steelbook artwork (the posters for the other main characters are just as good - for Torch, Hawk, Nicks, Lazarus, Neymar Jr., Becky, Talon, Jane Marke and Gibbons).

As can be seen above - when comparing the two editions' front artworks - the updated Euro artwork looks slightly different to The Americas artwork - to wit, no names printed near the top as well as a less central image on the front cover - good design decision to separate the title from the artwork though :thumbs:

Looks very nice, but the movie is a piece of sh*t therefore it's an easy pass for me
 
TBH I prefer The Americas artwork glossy embossed steelbook to our spot glossed de-bossed steelbook as glossy white (and black) steelbooks invariably look better in the flesh than only partly glossy.

Looks real elegant with the stylistic artistic treatment and so cool the way everything blends so well despite the use of tour separate images.

Cherry on the cake being the spot glossed and de-bossed title
