LucasArts Posters

[ThunderPeel2001]

Who did that layout? The artwork looks good, but the layout.... is a bit weird.

[ThunderPeel2001]

Chomey? Chorney? I've googled, but found nothing... any guesses?

 

Lol. "chorney art" puts him right at the top of Google (at least for me). It's interesting to note that he seems to have worked on Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade... Did he do the final poster art? If he didn't, then Drew Struzan owes him a thanks!

Yeah, I don't know why I failed at googling him... Crusade's final poster art was done by Struzan, but who knows who "got inspired" by whom?

 

Anyway, the layout of the thing was pretty much determined by the ad:

 

 

It's a pity that it's cropped on the right side, so it can't be centered. There is a landscape-version of the ad, which works a bit better composition-wise:

 

 

Let's hope Steve will reply, and fix me up with the full artwork.

[The Tingler]

Wow, that's excellent!

[Jeff]

That awesome poster makes me want to play The Dig finally.

[ThunderPeel2001]

Yeah, that landscape version does look a lot better.

 

I think it's pretty clear that Drew S. must have at least seen Steven's C's stuff... it has so much in common. Also, it's interesting to note that SC did some Indy Crystal Skull stuff. Maybe they just paid him for some ideas and DS takes over the rest?

What makes you think that Chorney did those drawings first? For all we know they could've been made AFTER Struzan made the main movie poster, and Chorney was asked to mimic that style for other advertisement stuff... they could've even be made years later, for advertising merchandise, video-releases and whatnot...

 

I somehow doubt that Struzan was the type to use other people's concepts... it was done to him with the "Young Indy" video covers, and he hated that.

[Aububuh]

Well, the Chorney Last Crusade posters do say "preliminary" but that doesn't necessarily mean before Struzan.

I know this is a LucasArts poster thread, I hope you don't mind posting anyway. (Just let me know if it's off limits.)

 

Here is a project suggestion for Laserschwert. Click for the hires images.

[Lagomorph01]

So, Lucasarts is making a point click BATMAN GAME?!?!?

[Laserschwert]

Here is a project suggestion for Laserschwert.

You didn't actually suggest a project... what IS the project?

 

Edit: Oh, you want the big one to have the color of the smaller one... well, no. That's not really part of this project here.

[angelday]

Ok, here is our first treatment regarding the Joker. Removed text, logo intact, desaturated colors.

To restore the picture as you see fit. We had some ideas on our own, not anything major though.

[Laserschwert]

But I don't think this fits this thread.

[angelday]

Fair enough, links have been removed. No hard feelings.

 

Laserschwert, by the way, I really like and appreciate the work you have done with the originals. Remarkable.

[Laserschwert]

You're welcome... I'm sure you'll find a more suitable place for your cleanups

[angelday]

Sure, was just an idea, saw "ICO" and "Neverhood", thought there is a place for deviations. But I rather support LucasArts here of course. I immediately ordered my poster, by the way.

[Laserschwert]

Yeah, I think the deviation goes as far as "other games"... preferrably adventure-games.

[Lagomorph01]

Sure, was just an idea, saw "ICO" and "Neverhood"

 

I didn't see a Neverhood poster! Is there a Neverhood poster?

I want a Neverhood poster! Bring me my Neverhood poster!!!

[angelday]

Here it is: http://robertmegone.com/posters/NEVERHOOD/

[Laserschwert]

And HERE's the version of the "Neverhood"-poster slightly cleaned up by me.

[Lagomorph01]

(Read in a british accent)

Oh my... Call my printer!

 

Thanks!

[Laserschwert]

It's still a little blurry, and I guess I'll make a sharper version of it sometime.

 

Edit:

By the way, Steven Chorney has replied to my mail, and he will try to send me a scan of his "The Dig"-artwork when he has a little more time.

[Edward van Helgen]

I think I'm gonna print an A3-sized poster of this, it really looks great!

By the way, do you guys know of any hi res concept art from Steve Purcell? I really like all the concept art that I have seen from Monkey Island, but it is always quite a low resolution

[Laserschwert]

I have already tried to upscale that Purcell artwork a bit, but I'll wait until that eBay-auction is a couple of days or weeks older, so that no one feels ripped off (especially not Steve). There are two more Purcell-concepts in the "Rogue Leaders" book, but one of them (that painting of Wally's ship) is a double spread, and impossible to scan.
