parabolee Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 That's very poorly photoshopped (missing palm-tree, etc). Yeah that's why I cut the top off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I actually think one of the biggest problems with the new poster is the awful garish colours. The original colour scheme was very well thought out and incredibly pleasing to the eye, the new one is full of terrible amped up garish, bright primary colours. Blahh!

The original colour scheme was very well thought out and incredibly pleasing to the eye, the new one is full of terrible amped up garish, bright primary colours. Blahh! It's actually very hard to say what IS the original colour scheme without having the original poster next to you. But, as I said, it is possible to fix those contrast/hue problems in Photoshop, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plamdi Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Actually I got it from here - http://joemartin.files.wordpress.com/2007/01/mi1poster.jpg Unless your Joe Martin, or he took it from you. But it looks like a different scan from yours. It's my monstrosity. It doesn't matter where you got it from, he still took it from me. I created it a very long time ago, using the picture from the Monkey Island Madness .exe docfile as a guide (and the palm tree and "lucasfilm logo" area) ... it was used later on World of MI (I don't know why - it really is bad)... here's the original for the exact version you posted, in lossless PNG format so you can see it is the original file: As you can see in the final version I removed the Palm Tree entirely: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laserschwert Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Well, for my version I took the photo of the "real" thing as a guide... but of course, you never now how the lighting in that room influenced the colors. I think it's pretty close. (except maybe for the purple in the upper right bone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parabolee Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 I think it's pretty close. (except maybe for the purple in the upper right bone) Yes yours is fantastic. DO you work with Photoshop professionally? Because I do and your work is very professional. Thanks for all your hard work on these posters! It's really great to have such beautiful versions for poster printing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for all your hard work on these posters! It's really great to have such beautiful versions for poster printing! I concur, you've got some serious skillz, LS! How you managed to get that second palm-tree looking so goood, I'd love to know! (You're probably bored of these posters by now, but the third tree (the one that's blurred) is actually very visible in the KIXX cover!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laserschwert Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Well, yeah, I work with Photoshop professionally, although I mainly work in the 3D-field (with 3ds max to be exact). But that requires skills with other applications as well. Plus, as a counter-balance, I do a lot of 2D-work (mostly with PS) hobby-wise, so there you go.

Cool, I never got into 3D work, my father does a little. Mainly designing equipment to be built in different fields. I'm a digital artists, flash animator and web designer myself.

xgfx Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 bare with me here but.. Anyone notice on Xbox Live 'Inside Xbox' today, the feature video is an In Depth of MI:SE at E3. now either a) Lucasarts have changed their artwork to remove the smirk or b) someone at Xbox downloaded the wrong artwork to use!

fizzymitsu Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 now either a) Lucasarts have changed their artwork to remove the smirk or b) someone at Xbox downloaded the wrong artwork to use! Can you take a picture of that and post it on here or something? I'd be delighted to see them remove that smirk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elTee Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Nothing really new in that video, but it should hopefully raise awareness to the game. Might also be a sign that they're ready to tell us the release date soon? But yeah it's definitely not the official artwork. That interviewer came across as a long-time Monkey Island fan though, so there are obviously some people out there who feel the same way about that official poster.
