draedan Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 hehe yeah, I value it as an artifact a guy from Spain was crafting these a while back , I had found him on ebay. I can dig my old emails if you want to contact him. Also, I am still looking for the necklace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I like the KotOR poster. Where did you get it, or the image for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's okay, I just thought it was extremely awesome, especially with all of those great posters in the backdrop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lagomorph01 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I like the little image at the left top of your computer screen! ^^ Also, awesome posters, and the FoA artifact is amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plamdi Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Actually its both. Look at this image, it is your image plus parts from top and bottom of the image you linked to me in post #236. Do you think it is possible to make it look good? The image I borrowed parts from is pretty low res. Here are my scans from the Monkey2 Madness "cover" found in the LEC Archives Manual: http://scummgames.net/m2madness.htm You'll see they're not great quality, but it is what you asked for... and I'll take my hat off to you if you can use that to complete the "poster". On a related note, I will (when I get the opertunity) create a page with all of these covers/posters available for direct download - so long as Laserschwert can point me in the direction of available dfownloads for all of them (I've noticed some DL's are missing).

plamdi Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 HERE you go. Looks like I don't have the small "Hit the Road"-scan anymore, so it's only the two "Monkey Island" ones.Thanks for sharing, could you possibly upload the version that has the original sky at that size?

ThunderPeel2001 Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 The greyscale version is missing too much detail, I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plamdi Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 It's greyscale in the Archives Manual - and it doesn't have a lot of detail because it's printed on a PAGE of the manual (rather than on a glossy cover like the Monkey Island 1 CD-ROM Booklet). On a related note, here are some photos of Actual MI1/2 posters (not derived from Box scans). The first MI1 one you all know about, but the second is the one LEC sent out to fans (I don't have one, and I curse at passing up my opportunity to get one). http://scummgames.net/posters.htm The Monkey Island 2 one is less cropped even than SPAFF's (actually, I'm fairly certain that it's a photo of the original painting).

ThunderPeel2001 Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 It wasn't a dig at you, I was just making the point that I think it would be hard to get a decent image from it, unfortunately. I'm not sure it's even worth trying to squeeze every bit of artwork back onto it, though. Cropping the top, for example, improves the look of the artwork (as it was intentionally blank for the logo to fit in). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laserschwert Posted June 20, 2009 Author Share Posted June 20, 2009 I'll take my hat off to you if you can use that to complete the "poster". Obviously you forgot about how it all started... over at the "ridiculously large cover scans"-thread... I've used your B&W-scan of the manual together with that photo of the painting to clean up your box-scan. On a related note, I will (when I get the opertunity) create a page with all of these covers/posters available for direct download - so long as Laserschwert can point me in the direction of available dfownloads for all of them (I've noticed some DL's are missing). Sanguinehearts was kind enough to host them on his webspace too. I've added the link to the top of the opening post.

plamdi Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Oh man I completly forgot I made these: I just saw it in the box-scans thread. Just pulled them out of my MI case (the one in the picture). They are brilliant! http://lucasforums.com/showpost.php?p=2318124&postcount=269 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy.brush Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 I love that frame... I think it is and it is closer to the normal movie poster dimensions which would be awesome to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draedan Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 I like the KotOR poster. Where did you get it, or the image for it? from ebay, a guy was selling those. back of the kotor poster is awesome too, all characters images with information next to them.

EliotElder-Geek Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Got mine hung! (Thumbails, click to enlarge) Since the dimensions are a bit different for Monkey Island 1, 3, and 4, I'll be getting those in 16x20 and putting the three of them together. I've got tons of really high res video game related artwork but Laserschwert's stuff definitely made me jump for joy. Does anyone have any 300-600dpi stuff from Shadow of the Colossus, Psychonauts, the Shin Megami Tensei series, or artwork by Yosh1taka Amano (Final Fantasy 1 thru 6) -- had to say Yosh1taka 'cause the forum censors Yo****aka Also, I was wondering if I could make a request or two: (Thumbnails, click to enlarge--refresh the Castlevania one and it'll come up.) And since I'm making a request, it's only fair that I give something back. Here's the best of what I have in terms of HR Video Game imagery. This .rar (password is 'lucasarts' sans quotes) has a bunch of Metal Gear Solid artwork, some Brutal Legend key art, a bit of Final Fantasy stuff, some Nintendo stuff, a few images from Okami, and Street Fighter IV artwork of Ryu. http://www.filefactory.com/file/ag79ba1/n/HighResVGStuff_rar Keep up the fantastic work!

plamdi Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Laserschwert, I'd still appreciate if you could upload the logoless MI1 one without the filters over it (but without the "clouds" in the sky), and if possible the MI2 one before recolourization. I have just finished retouching my scans for upload, which I'll post shortly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laserschwert Posted June 21, 2009 Author Share Posted June 21, 2009 Laserschwert, I'd still appreciate if you could upload the logoless MI1 one without the filters over it (but without the "clouds" in the sky) Without what filters exactly? and if possible the MI2 one before recolourization. I don't have that, I'm afraid. I did the colorization first, and then retouched everything at that color-scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
