QueZTone Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 parabolee's MI:SE poster should be in the opening post yeah... but without the 'credits' at the bottom left.... please remove those? (i dont see Laserschwaert doing that... thankfully )
ThunderPeel2001 Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 I dont get that... :confused: VOODOO. You know, voodoo dolls. The International House of Mojo. The Voodoo Priestess. You know... VOODOO
Fealiks Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 I don't get how so many monkey island fans are confused by the word "vooboo"... i mean, it's even easy to remember.
Laserschwert Posted July 3, 2009 Author Posted July 3, 2009 I'm confused by vooboo too... I'm NOT confused by voodoo though... you know, with the voo and the doo...
TalynBigfoot Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Well, not to interrupt the voodoo/vooboo/voojoo/etc. conversation, but I just figured that I would share my Full Throttle poster that I finally had printed up. I had it done at posterXXL and decided that I would experiment with the colors on it since a lot of people have said that they are just too contrasty from there. I backed off the contrast 15 points (according to the Gimp) and sent that in. The picture I got back was about as close to the original as it could get. Here is a picture of it all framed and done!: (keep in mind, my camera actually makes the picture look less contrasty than it really is in real life, hah you'll just have to trust me that it came out nearly perfect!) I got the frame for $9.17 at Michaels today, marked down from $16.99 too! Thanks Laserschwert!
Guy.brush Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Is that the new and improved FT artwork or the original?
Fealiks Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 Z Powerful stuff. I think we can all appreciate the relevance of these words now.
plamdi Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 Ok, I really hope you add the left-side partI'll probably add it at some point, it doesn't look too difficult. BTW, what do you mean with better quality? Are you using a scan from the KIXX box? No I'm not. I am using my original scan, resized to 300dpi but cleaned, filtered and with some pretty advanced sharpening filters that clarify the detail in the original artwork better. I've also cranked up the saturation and contrast. Here's a sample: First image is how it appears on my MI1 DVD cover. The colour and tone of the image was deliberate - but still the image suffers from a lot of noise and rather fuzzy and appears out of focus. The second image is Laserschwert's - which I believe is from my scan as well but with different filters used on it. The last image is how the new version looks. The image is sharp, does not contain much noise and the colours are vibrant.
Guy.brush Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 sometimes noise or grain can be good to suggest more detail in an image. Especially with enlarging something for print, grain can do wonders. Did you already do a test print?
ThunderPeel2001 Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 Cool, you got rid of that greeny/brown tinge, too!
Scapetti Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 I think the contrast is slightly too high, something in between would be nice. The monkey has also been made too sharp, doesn't really look like fur any more. How about this: Old: New:
Scapetti Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 Get out of my hair!!! Ur such a Jackass to me!!!! Lol, that was ages ago and you've already posted since then XD weird...
purple_tentacle_ Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 Lol, that was ages ago and you've already posted since then XD weird... I am still new to this website so when I pressed the botton to go back a page I accidentely pressed the one that sends me to the first page so I just found it. And I havnt been on for awhile.
neon_git Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 when I pressed the botton to go back a page I accidentely pressed the one that sends me to the first page. Oh man you're not the only one, I do that all the time. Try not to take what people say to heart too much. I'd interpret LordTrilobite and Scapetti's posts as gentle ribbing rather than mean spirited derision.
LordTrilobite Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 :3 The internet is serious business. Ontopic though, that's an awesome improvement plamdi.com.
LordTrilobite Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 I think the film grain may be a little exessive, so yeah I plamdi's better. Perhaps a version in between would be best looking.
Kenko Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 You don't think my version was better? D:I see what you mean about his being too sharp, but I think yours is a little bit too "fuzzy".
Scapetti Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 I think the film grain may be a little exessive, so yeah I plamdi's better. Perhaps a version in between would be best looking. Well I used the same cropped image he used but if you look at Laserschwert's full resolution up close, it's not as fuzzy anyway. Personally I think Laserschwert's is fine just the way it is! Here is Laser's actual version: Old:New:
LordTrilobite Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 That still seems kinda flat, the dark colours can be much deeper, giving it so much more potency.
