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?

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.

    @YaroslavKornachevskyi - Good catch. I wasn't looking at the characters from the cutscenes, but the ones from the gameplay :-) – Valorum Dec 24 '21 at 14:08

    Wait... the pictures are clearly related, but the characters have completely different facial hair! Did the magazine redraw the picture (and give the characters a shave) for some reason, or was the original artwork released in multiple versions? – Ilmari Karonen Dec 26 '21 at 00:10

    @IlmariKaronen - This magazine seems to have had its in-house artists re-draw all sorts of pictures for their cover art. – Valorum Dec 26 '21 at 08:28

    @IlmariKaronen There seems to be multiple different covers for the game. On a different picture they look like on the cover of Top Secret: https://www.mobygames.com/game/amiga/celtic-legends/promo/promoImageId,459701/ – Tom Dec 26 '21 at 19:25

    @Tom - I like your picture better. I actually found it before, but didn't realise that the artwork was subtly different. – Valorum Dec 26 '21 at 19:38
