LucasArts Posters

[Laserschwert]

Although it's nice, I don't really see why they include all the links there as well... most of the download links don't work anymore anyway, and a link to Adventure-Treff.de would've been more sensible. So it appears more like a hastily put together cut-and-paste article.

But I appreciate the warm words, of course...

[Thrik]

Well that's modern gaming blogs for you.

[cksubs]

And they used the new LucasArts logo?

Hello, I am one of the artists who worked on the Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings game cover, we also did the Nintendo Power cover below it.

I just was browsing your forums and saw the artist listed as unkown....


you can list our illustration studio as the artist, PicturePlane Imaging.

our website is pictureplaneimaging.com

Thanks! Great website you got here!!!

[Laserschwert]

Hey, thanks for the info! I've added it to the opening post. Also you did a fantastic job at matching Harrison Ford's likeness for these (and I guess the other promo shots for the game as well). It's a shame the game itself was so crappy.

Is there a consensus with regards to the best service to get some of these printed that cater to the U.S.?

Posters XXL did both of the ones I had printed very well, so I don't see any reason not to use them again.

The Grim Wall Mural! ))))
I'm smiling like a child. Thank you Laserschwert

So here´s my newest one. Ok not so new.

[whipwarrior]

I nabbed my FOA poster in a bidding war on eBay back in the late 1990's, long before the 'Buy it now' option existed. It wound up costing me about $90+ shipping, plus a small fortune to have it custom framed. Anyway, here's my hard-won FOA one-sheet with a few other Atlantean treasures:

[Sven_Q45]

These /solar/lunar/world stones and this figurine are so bloody great!
Didn´t see such things.

[Sebastian.Zissou]

WhipWarrior, it seems this is the only item missing in your awesome FoA collection:

(it's made by the same talented girl who paint LucasArts-related ties and Converse)

My Nur-Ab-Sal pendant was made by a talented Indy prop-maker in California. The eyes and mouth contain a phosphorescent dye so the pendant blazes with a fiery green glow in the dark.



You can see a more detailed view of the pendant here: http://newsradiofanfic.angelfire.com/pendant.jpg (cut-and-paste URL because of stupid Angelfire 'roadblock' link)

I built the horned idol myself about 8 years ago. The outer skin is real copper, but the inside is resin-filled, with a cylinder of sand in the base for a good, solid heft. The whole statue probably weighs close to five pounds. I recently acquired the stone disk set from an artisan in Italy who specializes in Indiana Jones prop replicas. He made them in a very limited run, and it cost me a small fortune, but it's the crown jewel in my FOA collection. The entire prop is fully-functional, and the disks can be dialed on the spindle exactly like in the game (except the spindle button does not press down). The base measures 15 and 1/2 inches square, and about 4 inches in height with all three stones stacked onto the spindle. Truly a work of art.

That is amazing.

Would it be possible to get new links for these posters? (the quoted links, as well as the mirrors in another part of the thread, are dead.)

Overall, great work, Laserschwert! I love that you mkae these and I've downloaded quite a few of them.

[Laserschwert]

Here are new links to the ICO posters:

Also, I've obtained a great scan of the MI2 artwork from a German magazine which had it as its centerfold poster (big thanks to 90sGamer!). I've started some slight cleanup and color correction, both with the original coloring and with my darker version (click for full size views):



Strangely it does look different from the box scan, which has some more highlights painted in and slightly different coloring (which I haven't tried to recover, so I don't know if it's "there" or not).

Edit: Updated with a few more clean-ups.

Amazing! Thank you!

I'm digging the MI2 ones, as well. I love this thread.

Very nice! I really like the detail on the ship and the ropes under the signature.

[sanguinehearts]

Are there any live links for the Rebel Assault poster any more? I'd love to get hold of those.

[Laserschwert]

I've updated the RA2 links on the opening post with working ones. Is there any good free alternative to MediaFire though? Since the end of MegaUpload the keep deleting stuff all the time. And I'm not sure how good Dropbox will work in the long run...

[sinus]

how bout minus.com?

[joshandstacy]

I bought a wide format printer that prints 13x19'' borderless photos and made myself a wall of SCUMM!

[joshandstacy]

Are we still looking for a high res scan of this? I have a physical copy since my wife preordered tales of monkey island for me a while ago.

I should say, this is just for fun - whilst I do prefer the classic-style logo, I have no problem with the new one either.

[JacquesC]

Wonder if anyone can help me to find a high-res copy - A1 - for this pic?

[jxw_crowley]

I found this thread googling Grim Fandango, and your posters came up. I am so impressed by the huge mural, I've been hoping to find a full version of the image for ages (as my disk case isn't complete) and you've created an enormous poster form! Thanks! I am so excited about getting these printed some time, assuming that's OK?

[Laserschwert]

That's the point of this project

[Thanks Laserschwert]

Thank you very much for the Grim Fandango poster. Thank you to CHAOSMAN and BeleG.
The link for the wall mural pic says invalid or deleted file.

[Laserschwert]

I guess I should remove all the separate download links, as most of them don't work anymore. Also no one seems to notice the HUGE, BOLD DIRECT DOWNLOADS link at the top of the thread.

By the way, I think it depends on the frame, what kind of painting you can put into them... and I don't know heck about frames (so this is probably an indication about where my talents end )

Well, it may have taken a while for me to find the frame that I wanted, but finally, I did, and here she is!:



Once again, a massive thank you to Laserschwert/everyone else involved. It didn't cost a lot to do, (£3 in total actually, and that was just for the wood to make the mounting frame out of), but this is now one of my most valued possessions, and will probably turn into an heirloom down the line

OH, MY, GOD!! That is stunning! I'll be sure to keep visiting by here with hope for if/when these are finished. As always, unbelievably good work. I, like many others I'm sure, definitely owe you a mug'o'grog or two!!

[Dennerd]

I found this thread by accident and i am totally thrilled, really great and awesome Project!!

I wonder, do you still Need boxart to scan from lucasfilm games? I still own a original copy of "Nightshift", "Battlehawks" and "Their finest hour". Also the "Indiana Jones Action Game" if needed for reproduction (but only for lend)

[Laserschwert]

She surely is a beauty... uhm... why exactly is your frame a "she" anyway?

Well, it's always helpful to get scans, but sending boxes around the world is usually too much trouble But if you have a chance to get them scanned, I'd be happy to work with those!

Good question! Basically, I can't refer to such an important item as "it", and I'd feel slightly wrong referring to something so beautiful as a "he", if that makes any sense?! Yeah, I'm a bit odd.

[Dennerd]

Sure, from Stuttgart to Cologne, could be troubeling for me precious .

I can scan those at work, but i am a bit of a noob reagarding HQ-Scans. When you tell me what do you need exactly, and which options i have to make, i will be happy to give it a try.

[concord]

anyone have the cover of the game Labyrinth?
A high resolution scan of the cover would be great.

[Sven_Q45]

I´ve bought many adventure posters from posterxxl lately.

[shomi]

Hello, I have an idea I would like to share and hear your thoughts about it. Inspired by the sandstone carving of the Grim Fandango mural, posted by the Grim Fandango Stop-Mo Project-guy I was thinking about 3D-Printing the mural. There is software that can interpret 2D pictures as 3D models by taking their contrast and setting bright areas as higher and dark areas as lower points. Once you have a 3D model of the mural you could easily (?) "print" it either with a 3D printer oder a CNC machine. Here is a (german) company doing right that . What do you think? Could this be working?

[Sprouted]

Hello guys. I'm glad that i found this forum and this thread. I'm a huge Grim Fandango Fan and i wanted to ask if there is any chance that the poster on page 6 (this one that has been bought from a cast member) is getting scanned?! I know a lot of people asked, but i haven't seen any reply yet, so has anybody another idea how to get my hands on this or are there any other high resolution GF posters?

P.S: Großartige Arbeit, Laserschwert. Bin absolut begeistert und werde mir demnächst auch das ein oder andere ausdrucken lassen. PosterXXL ist zu empfehlen, habe ich das richtig gelesen?!

[shomi]

I think the poster you're talking about is on Adventure-Treff.

[Sprouted]

Cheers man! That's the poster i was looking for. You got any experience with posterXXL? i am not quite sure what options i should take to print it.

Edit : My gosh, i was so busy looking after this poster, that i haven't seen, it's already on the first page. shame on me!
