I do have other games if anyone is looking for something, but I guess that's a story for another thread. Regards Hello, just a notice that I removed a link to google drive. Art will be available on my site, so check back once in a while. Keep up the good work. Happy holidays everybody.

TimeGentleman Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 For anyone not wanting to click through blind, it's a 14-page chapter excerpt of the Rogue Leaders book as a pdf on (presumably LoneWulf79's) Google Drive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 That’s cool! Wish the PDF had been exported at higher res. Wish the real print was one was available digitally somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laserschwert Posted January 24 Author Share Posted January 24 Wait, why did I never realize that there are two versions of this painting?? And the first one looks final enough to be used. Did they just realize they needed a narrower aspect ratio? Why repaint it, though, instead of cropping it? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobMegone Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 The new FMT Zak posters are a beautiful addition! Thank you for adding them, did they come from scans or some alternative source? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my eyes the top one looks fully painted, the bottom one looks like markers or water colors. Maybe the bottom one gives a good not approximation of the top one, but was quicker to produce? The other reason might be, it’s not a crop but is a stretch - the top and bottom of the compositions are the same but one is taller. Maybe the original painting was done at “square pixel” aspect ratio and the second one was done at the true 320x200 full screen 5:4 tall pixel aspect ratio? Those are my two theories at least 😛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for adding them, did they come from scans or some alternative source? Oh right, haven't posted it here yet. I've added this to the project: For this I've used scans of both the FM Towns box and CD cover. With a bit of machine learning magic I've trained the smaller (but textless) image against the larger one, thus upscaling the smaller one to a similar level-of-detail. That and some manual touch-up and clean-up. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lagomorph01 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Wow! This is one was on my wishlist! Thank you so much, Laserschwert, it looks fantastic! So clear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laserschwert Posted January 25 Author Share Posted January 25 Here's a compilation of most of the logos and typography I've recreated in high-res over the years. It's always fun re-building these things or researching which fonts were used for taglines or subtitles. 10 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelSon Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 (edited) Don't know where to ask this: Does anyone have the box art of the back of Fate of Atlantis without all the text as well as the sides of the box? I would like to use these as a reference for a book I am doing for personal use. Edited April 7 by MichaelSon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobMegone Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 (edited) @Laserschwert, are you interested in creating poster art for the Fate of Atlantis Action game at some point? Someone on Facebook shared images for an Italian Amiga magazine(K), which has some full page advert art for it. I've asked the person who shared the images but they don't have a scanner, If you are interested then I'd be happy to try and track down a copy of the magazine to purchase and scan, or offer to pay for the original poster to have it scanned somewhere. The images are here: https://ibb.co/W3fWN5T https://ibb.co/bQSMTHs I also found these off-brand posters, presumably part of some magazine spreads at some point. Interesting, nonetheless.

Laserschwert Posted April 15 Author Share Posted April 15 (edited) For completeness sake I should probably work on that one as well, no matter how ugly it is. So, if you can get me a proper scan, go for it! Edit: Oof... one's worse than the other. Edited April 15 by Laserschwert 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Wow those are incredible. I mean, they are bad! But in a fun way. It’s rare to see games get the “bizarre off-model international movie poster” treatment, but its here in spades. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laserschwert Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 (edited) Thanks to @Scummbuddy's beautiful scans, I've finally started work on this: It looks like the one above was a preliminary version of the art, with further additions and changes painted by Purcell after the fact: Eventually, I'll try to offer both versions.

Lagomorph01 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 It's not like there's no LucasArts games that I haven't played yet, but Herc's Adventures I honestly never heard of before I saw it appear in this thread. Thanks for being thorough though, the art looks great! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udvarnoky Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 It's a hidden gem, basically Zombies Ate My Neighbors meets Greek mythology. We ought to publish a review some day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobMegone Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 @Laserschwert, I just bought a flyer for the Japanese Famicom version of Maniac Mansion and I'm waiting for it to arrive. It's a bit of a strange one, any interest in a scan of this for the poster project? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
