Its not the limitations that restrict an artist, is how they handle they within those limitations.

When DC comics ran their "countdown" series, they limited the artists on the alt. artwork to this. Yet... The artist who did the alt artwork for the Legion of Superheroes was praised for how he used the limited space within the page.

I have no examples since its harder to find examples of the alt in some cases, but some approaches weren't... too impressive

Yeah, I'm not a fan of Ia rocks, as I think Ia's original boxart was better. But I think its one of the best two boxarts of the Vocaloids.
