[Sebastian.Zissou]

Absolutely fantastic Jan, and no less than 14 years since the first restauration! (I think)

Merely an oversight on my part. I'll add them to the drive soon.

 

I seen you've updated the drive, thank you! 😍

Where once I was blind, now I can see.

I've also added two three pieces of Purcell's cover concept art to the thread:

Love it, thank you

[Rum Rogers]

I'd never noticed that the voodoo doll in the middle actually has some beard. Thanks Laserschwert!

[Thrik]

Nothing new obviously but I do just love the detail of doll Guybrush wearing the MI1 outfit.

[Scummbuddy]

I was just going to suggest if you had time if you could see about making poster-quality work of those three concept art pieces. With them being sold off to lucky bidders years ago, I wondered if you could possibly give them a pass. And you did, and they are lovely! Thank you so much.

 

I also just got time to read the nice article of you in Retro Gamer. Well deserved recognition. We can't thank you enough.

I didn't know where else to ask about this, but does anyone know if there was a Hi-Res version of that "Return to Monkey Island" poster that was made for the April Fools joke back in 2002?  I could only find this tiny one on the Monkey Island wiki. 

 

Sidenote: This is a great title and should absolutely be used if a 6th game ever gets made.

If there was a higher res version, it's possibly in a backup somewhere. I'll have to look.

Maybe @Paco (V) still gets forum notifications.

 The best bet is probably through Paco's Instagram maybe he has the original somewhere

Have you considered improving the background picture of The Curse of Monkey Island ad? Seems to be from a German magazine but I have never seen it with proper quality. Not sure from which magazine though.

[Laserschwert]

Yes, I've scanned two different versions of it, but it's a lot of work to clean it up.

[Scummbuddy]

I didn't even think to check out the German version of the ad in order to possibly get more original art from behind the text. Good thinking Laserschwert

[JuliaMetcalfe]

Hi, really very nice photo scan, such a clear picture, great!!! 😊

Nice! (It just redirects to this thread, but I think that's probably the best way to do things, and it's nice to have the url back regardless.)

It's only been gone for a month or so, but it's still good to have it back.

[Elle]

I was unaware of that URL. That's awesome!

[Laserschwert]

Thanks to Jake, I finally got a chance to scan the official Monkey Island poster:

 

 

 

Now there's a lot of cleaning up to do. Plus this is merely a starting point for creating a much better expanded and textless artwork.

Fantastic! What do you mean by "the official poster", out of interest?

It's the officially released promo poster, available back in the day through the Lucasfilm merch store.

[Elle]

It's looking amazing already! I can't wait to see what you'll do with it! 🤩

It’s a movie poster size print of the game box art, made from whatever original assets they used at the time so it’s an incredibly detailed reproduction.
