Can you identify these heroes (wizards)?

Question

This is an image from the Polish games magazine "Top Secret #7" (published on October 1991).

I tried services like TinEye and images.google.com but with no luck.

Most likely it's a game or book cover.

Can you identify these heroes? Or what game/book they come from?

It doesn't seem to match any of the games reviewed in the magazine; archive.org/details/TopSecret07 — Valorum, Dec 24, 2021 at 13:21
@Valorum It also doesn't seem to match any games from #6 or #08 — Tom, Dec 24, 2021 at 13:24
It could refer to the competition. There is a mention of the game "Demon's Kiss" (mobygames.com/game/demons-kiss), There you can find mage and Demon. Could be demon's name is Harpy. — Yaroslav Kornachevskyi, Dec 24, 2021 at 13:46

This is Celtic Legends on the Amiga (or more specifically, artwork from a poster advert for the game).

The characters on the cover appear to correspond to two characters mentioned in the blurb;

'Eskell' the blue and 'Sogrom' the scarlet.

Eskell

Sogrom

And so "you play as a powerful wizard Eskel against the evil Demog" (indieretronews.com/2015/07/…)

@YaroslavKornachevskyi - Good catch. I wasn't looking at the characters from the cutscenes, but the ones from the gameplay :-)
