FelixTheBat Posted April 24, 2004 Posted April 24, 2004 I'm also restoring a 720dpi scan of the MI1-CD ver cover. The cover is in excellent condition except from some scratches and a few minor marks. Here's an example of the restoration over one of the worst effected areas: http://www.zippyimages.com/files/29347/mi1restoration.jpg As you can see I'm attempting to replace the damaged areas with equivalent material, rather than doing a cheap and nasty fudge-out or nasty interpolitation. I bet you couldn't even tell where the marks had been removed if I didn't include the after pic.
GregD Posted May 18, 2004 Posted May 18, 2004 Those are some amazing covers Laserschwert, mind telling me where you found the textures ? I assume you filling in a color then making a new layer and overlaying the texture? Cheers
Laserschwert Posted May 18, 2004 Posted May 18, 2004 This texture was scanned from the limited edition soundtrack booklet from "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring". I didn't overlay it on top of everything, instead I just shifted the hue on this thing in the background (to get all the colors I needed), while I overlayed the "gold"-parts. Thogh your idea of overlaying the texture might be the better solution... which reminds me of my task to finish those covers in hi-res... oopsie... This texture was scanned from the DVD-Box of "Pearl Harbor - Director's Cut" (with all logos removed). And this is of course a scan of the digi-pack from "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring - SEE" (again with removed logos).
SpiffyTheDog Posted May 18, 2004 Author Posted May 18, 2004 yeees.... everything is going according to plan.... with the notable exception of the website. seriously, though. Once some high-res covers are finished the website will totally be corking good.
elTee Posted May 19, 2004 Posted May 19, 2004 Indeed. I am working very hard on the site myself, but I have unfortunately been disconnected from the internet.

That's an interesting way of doing it I assume the textures you scanned had no text or anything on top of it? I cant see how you did the LOTR Fellowship dvd texture because surely it has loads of text etc on top of the texture, did you edit it out or something? I would have thought downloading a texture would be easier to do, but getting quality high res textures for free is always difficult.
Laserschwert Posted May 19, 2004 Posted May 19, 2004 As I said I had to remove logos and stuff... but it wasn't very much. The inside of the LOTR-digipack has very little other stuff on top of the texture, so that wasn't really difficult. I searched the web as well, but I didn't find any hi-res leather textures good enough.

I am... usually under the nick Hirasawa. I guess i should go back to using GregD if people miss me
dpolsrod Posted June 2, 2004 Posted June 2, 2004 Hi. Long time lurker here. I've been watching this topic for a long time, and I was just wondering how it's going with the "ridiculously large" covers? I think Laserschwert's covers look absolutely stunning! I have still to see the covers LucasTones has scanned. The http://covers.mixnmojo.com site has been dormant for some time. Any news on when the hi-res covers are done?
Laserschwert Posted June 2, 2004 Posted June 2, 2004 No progress yet... my life's quite busy at the moment, so the covers will still take some time.

cappuchok Posted July 17, 2004 Posted July 17, 2004 ... what's up with covers.mixnmojo.com? Is anything happening or will it be vaporware? Is there anywhere else I might get these good (custom) DVD covers for my LucasArts collection like we've seen in this thread?
elTee Posted July 18, 2004 Posted July 18, 2004 Thanks for like, crediting me there JBRAA. It really didn't take me long to do or anything.
Laserschwert Posted July 18, 2004 Posted July 18, 2004 Just wondering, does anybody of you have a hires scan (and I mean as hires as Tones' scans) from the MI2-Kixx-Box? Still need it to touch up the original Box-scan... and if there's any MI1-cover out there, that has the covered-up section of the MI1-box, scan it!! Thanks for your time.
JBRAA Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 Originally posted by LucasTones Thanks for like, crediting me there JBRAA. It really didn't take me long to do or anything. I know =) I sort of love you =))))) tehee =)) http://mojoart.mixnmojo.com/original-art/cover-art.shtml
Laserschwert Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 I finally managed to start working on the hires-covers... so far I've got the four "Monkey Island" games done: 'The Secret of Monkey Island' (1.27MB) 'Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge' (1.16MB) 'The Curse of Monkey Island' (1.08MB) 'Escape from Monkey Island' (1.11MB)
Laserschwert Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 Two more: 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade' (1.08MB) 'Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis' (1.00MB)
elTee Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 Thanks JBRAA, I'm sorry if I came across like an *******.. I was having a bad day. Besides, I'm glad someone finally has them online, LucasCovers is progressing slowly.

Besides, I'm glad someone finally has them online, LucasCovers is progressing slowly. No worries. Another thing... Didn't know http://covers.mixnmojo.com was the same as LucasCovers. Hmm, nice name btw.

Are they available for download yet? The links were just the thumbnails...
Laserschwert Posted July 27, 2004 Posted July 27, 2004 The links aren't the thumbnails... the links link to ZIP-files containing the full-size covers. So, yes, they are available for download.
dpolsrod Posted July 28, 2004 Posted July 28, 2004 There was a misunderstanding there. I meant the links you posted here. The links you posted here were only the thumbnails, and when I went to covers.mixnmojo.com, it was the same old page with the black background and the video at the top. But I went there now, and it's the updated page with covers and all. Just wanted to clarify that. BTW: GREAT job on the covers, man! I think they look awesome.
Laserschwert Posted July 28, 2004 Posted July 28, 2004 It wouldn't have been necessary for you to go to covers.mixnmojo.com to download the covers (OK, now that the site is basically up and running it of course IS necessary, so that those guys get some hits... thanks to Tones, Gabez and/or Spiffy for adding linkage to my files) ... anyway, you should've just left-clicked the little images I posted (yeah, even the ones you've quoted a few posts above this one)... they are download links, but alright, if everything is working now it's cool.
rodekill Posted August 8, 2004 Posted August 8, 2004 Hey. This thread inspired me to go ahead and do my own Monkey Island covers. Monkey Island 1-2 The Curse of Monkey Island Escape from Monkey Island The inspiration from the earlier "Guybrush's Diary" concept should be apparent. Here are the full, high-res versions, zipped up (26mb). This is gonna be brutal on my bandwidth, so I can only keep them up for a few days. Feel free to mirror it or something.
