This is of course before Harrison Ford was cast in the role. The concept art is by Jim Steranko, a graphic artist/comic book illustrator -not to mention all around Renaissance man- who was commissioned to do the pre-production concept paintings for Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. Steranko is most well known for his time with Marvel, illustrating works like "Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D".
Do I descry Tom Selleck in these images? Well the resemblance is certainly there, so it's easy to see why (Tom) was being considered for the role of Indy. I for one am glad they went with Harrison Ford instead. There is something to be said for that crazy combination of tough guy humility with a touch of snarkiness and badass that Harrison pulled off so well in these films.
