What sort of places are you looking at as far as print shops? Places like Kinko's/FedEx Office? If so, maybe you should look into some that are more like graphic designers than SOHO-oriented.

CHAOSMAN · 04-29-2010, 03:57 AM

just fyi poster was scanned and sent to Laserschwert hopefully he will have it up for everyone soon!

Longcat · 04-29-2010, 05:08 AM

Oh, wow! Thank you so much CHAOSMAN! It warms my heart to see that so many people have such a great community feeling and still love GF.

Much appreciated

MeddlingMonk · 04-29-2010, 09:30 PM

Our long (inter)national nightmare is now over. Almost.

Virtureal · 04-30-2010, 06:07 AM

That is absolutely fantastic! I am really looking forward to seeing this on my wall.

Thank you so much Chaosman

!

Laserschwert is king. And Chaosman is a prince

the late D. Hurley · 05-25-2010, 08:30 AM

already have a spot reserved for that poster, and the frame is ready too ^^ anxiously waiting for laserschwerts finished work. Kudos and a thousand thanks to Chaos ^^

Frenkieee · 05-25-2010, 08:50 AM

Is Laserschwerts actually working on it right now?

Virtureal · 05-25-2010, 11:25 AM

He said it needed lots of cleaning, but I suppose he could be working on anything

Mr_Calavera · 06-19-2010, 10:46 AM

Now that is cool!

draedan · 07-02-2010, 02:04 AM

MetallicA LP · 07-15-2010, 03:27 PM

I've found a reason to keep on living, please, don't stop your work chaosman!

CHAOSMAN · 07-20-2010, 12:12 AM

sent it to Laserschwerts a few months ago its out of my hands now!

alcapown · 09-22-2010, 12:36 AM

Im new to the forums, but a long time lover of GF. I really can't wait to see the news on the poster scan. So awesome, and this community is unreal, glad to see it.

CHAOSMAN · 09-22-2010, 02:57 AM

laser has the scan i cant even find the original scan on my computer. Give him time and he will fix it up. Scan wasnt very good to begin with =(

j_hunter_hkr · 10-01-2010, 04:37 PM

I'm currently in the process of recreating the Grim Fandango game cover in Illustrator. I'll post the final thing when I'm done. I completed Manny, here's a little preview:

Sallim · 10-02-2010, 10:51 AM

j_hunter_hkr! Its pretty awesome! great work so far, don't stop man. Waiting for the poster became kinda time intensive.
you can do it

Longcat · 10-02-2010, 11:48 AM

looks interesting

j_hunter_hkr · 10-02-2010, 12:11 PM

Thanks! I don't want to show the proper thing off until it's finish, but I'll keep posting screenshots from outline mode if people are interested. Just finished Olivia today, next up, Dom!

Longcat · 10-02-2010, 11:17 PM

Yes, we are interested

j_hunter_hkr · 10-09-2010, 11:54 AM

I've not made a lot of progress since I last posted, so here's a few little preview images

Longcat · 10-09-2010, 12:55 PM

Wow, that looks really amazingly beautiful! Can't wait for this dude

Sallim · 10-09-2010, 01:29 PM

Very impressive,looks like 3d- very well done

MeddlingMonk · 10-09-2010, 07:46 PM

Yes, definitely very good. Looks like Manny's fingers are sticking through his lapel, although I expect you're already aware that there are glitches. Judging from the size of Olivia and such, I'm guessing this will be poster-sized?

Thanks for pointing that out! There are lots of layers, I'd just swapped a couple round and hadn't noticed that glitch.

It's going to be 100% vectors so it can be scaled however big or small with 0% loss of quality.

*James Isaac* · 10-10-2010, 11:33 AM

Excellent work

looking forward to the finished piece

Longcat · 10-10-2010, 01:48 PM

yup. and after that, redo GF in the same style. it won't take you more than, say, 10-20 years

Ha, I wish I could! Imagine, a HD remake of Grim Fandango released through XBLA, PSN and Steam...

Longcat · 10-11-2010, 04:53 AM

I know, I was really hoping for a SE,but now that LA is under new management, it doesn't seem very likely

CHAOSMAN · 10-25-2010, 02:45 AM

woah j_hunter_hkr that is so awesome! please keep us updated!

This is gold. Can't wait to see the whole work!

After monkey island, I'm planning to do some minimalist poster of GF. This was just a draft:

Virtureal · 10-31-2010, 01:26 PM

N3mo, if you do, it would be great if they were vectors or a higher resolution!

the late D. Hurley · 10-31-2010, 08:47 PM

After years and years, people just keep making tributes to Grim Fandango. new Artwork, just revisualising it. I love you guys xD

Vectors for sure

DJB · 11-11-2010, 10:40 PM

Nice stuff guys! Thought I would check out how the Grim Fandango community was doing since the 12th anniversary of the game (and my old Glottis' Garage website) just passed. Glad to see a few people still around. This one (http://www.jamiehunter.co.uk/preview03.jpg) looks great in particular. Hopefully when you are done you can post them at a really high resolution so we have the possibility of getting them printed and framed professionally. If the other poster finally gets scanned properly that would also be amazing. I think I have a small one of that from an old PC Gamer magazine, but a proper movie poster size would be awesome to put on the wall.

j_hunter_hkr · 11-12-2010, 07:14 PM

Hi Chaps.
Sorry for the lack of updates. Between moving house and work commitments I've not had a lot of time to make progress. I WILL be finishing this though and I WILL be making it available at whatever resolution people want

the late D. Hurley · 12-04-2010, 11:08 AM

got myself the scan of the poster. Lotsa grain and noise, some saturation problems (fixed), since laserschwert is currently busy I'll see if I can polish it enough to make this scythe shine again. Expect progress in....I reckon a week?

Isak · 01-08-2011, 07:01 PM

Sorry if I bump this a little, but hows it going with the poster?

Don't hesitate to post the raw, uncorrected file. I'm sure I, and other photoshop-experienced people visit who the forums and wouldn't mind a whack at it.
