LucasArts Posters: The Revenge

Thanks for the offer! I already have a few scans for SWOTL, but none of them are really clean. If you manage to make a good quality scan, I'll happily take it.

My current best quality version of the artwork is the one featured on The Adventure cover, which I've already started cleaning up, but the box might provide some more detail for some parts:



And the logo is pretty much done as well:



"Their Finest Hour" is more problematic, as the quality of the art on the boxes is really bad. I got a photo of the original painting hanging at Larry Holland's place, but he stopped replying to my mails, so I guess he's not interested in supporting the poster project.



The logo is done, though (with high-res assets - minus the Swastika):

Oh yeah, you've already have a good poster and hig-res assets !  I'll will do it by the end of the week and then you'll see if it fits for you.

 

The wheel is pretty fun to and the manual is..... MASSIVE !

This may not be the right place to ask this, but are there any high quality preservations of the art in the code wheels?

About that, almost done:

Hi @Laserschwert,

 

EDIT: @Laserschwert Just added a new scan version of Front and Back because I saw the first versions were cropped

 

Here you can find my scans of the Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe box

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1pZb6H0fD7wQMKbK_ddVKB-XCWXFp5kcb?usp=sharing

 

I have included

* Front part of the box

* Back part of the box

* Back part of the manual so the background pattern can be easily cleaned and expanded I guess

* Wheel

 

I can do other scans today if you want since I'm at work with good quality copy printer.

 

I have quickly compared the poster you posted few days ago and my box and I think it's pretty much the same except for the colors.  Mine are a bit "greener" than the poster you have. (which, for me, feels bluer)

 

Let me know what you think !

Amazing!

[Laserschwert]

I've finally added the new Outlaws poster to the thread. Unfortunately, I don't know who painted the artwork. Any idea?

 

Edit: Kevin Schmitt, one of the designers on the game, suggests it was painted by (lead artist) Adam Schnitzer.

No idea, and couldn't find anything from a search. Might be worth tweeting at Stephen Shaw, one of the co-designers. Here's an old tweet of his where he talks about the embossed bullet holes on the box!
 

(apologies for the tweet that he's replying to getting auto-embedded. Twitter *sigh*)

Hey,

 

I've found this Star Wars Rebel Assault art on Displate, it has watermarks but there is a clean lower resolution version available.

 

I've also attached my "amateur" :) edit where I removed watermarks and cleaned the image.

 

 

To Laserschwert,

 

I have in my collection a 14mb 4725x6299 DIG image from 2007, that is not available in the old thread. I'm pretty sure you made it, so if maybe you are missing it for some reason, let me know.

 

Be well

very good contribution LoneWulf79, it has the style of GREG WINTERS.
Do you know if this REBEL ASSAULT art is by this artist.

I'm also looking for the art of SUPER STAR WARS EMPIRE STRIKES BACK

he is credited on many sites, but I'm not sure as there seems to be no signature on the painting. Maybe letters on the cockpit display mean something

Hey,

 

I'm aware of Laserschwert beautiful work, but here are some images maybe he'll find useful

 

 

 

Not sure how much this one is edited???

I found this poster for sale, where you can see much of the art.

[Laserschwert]

Well, that's a lot of material! I haven't thought about using Displate as an image source. I hate them with a passion, as they allow countless sellers selling my posters there, as long as I can't prove I own the copyright (which I obviously can't). It's just weird that they don't need to prove that THEY own the copyright to sell them. Ah well, at least now I don't mind taking images off of their site for the project. The Rebel Assault one is a great version of the full art, so I might give that a shot.

Heritage Auctions is always a good source, and my TIE Fighter poster is already based on one of their auction photos. By now I've got my hands on the original rendering for it though, so sooner or later I'll update that anyway.

Hey,

 

yes I noticed that they have your posters, and it was my thought exactly that you can get something in return. Well I believe what I posted is pretty much everything usable from them.

 

Sorry for throwing all that material your way I actually look for high res gaming art in general so I thought I'll share some. It's not that I think your stuff needs improving, use (or not) at your discretion, lol.

 

Regards

Here you have my collection of Lucas games, well pretty much (minus yours), sourced from press kits, websites, frankly I can't remember for every image. I do have other games if anyone is looking for something, but I guess that's a story for another thread.

 

Link n/a.

I don't think I've ever seen that Tales of Monkey Island sell-sheet before. Thanks for sharing that.

[Laserschwert]

The poster.mixnmojo.com URL is giving an "unsecure connection" error right now. Any chance to fix it?

 

Edit: And it's back. Thanks!

As long as you credit "LucasArts Posters" and add the link poster.mixnmojo.com below each image, I'm fine.

[LoneWulf79]

Thanks, of course I will. Have a nice day.

[Laserschwert]

I've added 5 color variations of the Fate of Atlantis map to the project.

@Laserschwert Re: Outlaws cover art. I was also going to suggest it was Adam Schnitzel. I've been looking through the official strategy guide for clues. It doesn't specifically say so for the cover art but it does also say he is an accomplished painter, beyond the cutscene background artwork and being the lead background artist. I'll look harder for his signature in the artwork on that other Outlaws cover pop-art piece that I have that we've talked about before.

 

[TimeGentleman]

Did you see the edit to Laserschwert's post about it back on the 2nd Oct? Kevin Schmitt reckons Adam Schnitzer too. (I still think the best bet would be to tweet at Stephen Shaw about it!)
