For what it's worth, I'll try to bring this thread back on track with a little progress preview on the Zak-poster:
{image}
Still some stuff in the corners to be painted out (and the rest of the "And the Alien Mindbenders"-title), but other than that it's looking good to me.
Good call, and nice poster... loved the bread, and all those inventory items...
Yeah, on second though I've added it back in (see edited links above), but as I wanted the artwork to be as "clean" as possible, I've erased it in the first place. If it wasn't so difficult, I would've created a version without the "Zak McKracken"-title as well, but there was close to no material out there to help.
Man, I love the details on that retro film poster. I wonder if it'd be more "accurate" to list the voice actors as the cast, although I suppose that'd make the joke a bit more obscure.
Oh, I guess I got you wrong there... I didn't actually paint it... the artwork itself was done by Peter Chan for the cover of LucasArts' newsletter "The Adventurer":
I just painted out the texts, logos and creases, and made that "poster"-design above. (I did the SW-like DOTT-logo though)
Ah okay, i've never seen this one before and it has those saturated colours so i was wondering if it's acryl or done with a good paint program/tablet from scratch.
You should really try to talk Jeff Smith into doing a nice poster-like artwork for the two games, so that some individual (*wink wink*) could turn it into a nice DVD-cover.

If we lived in a weird, non-existent alternate dimension where there was a completed "season" of Bone games, that DVD cover might already exist. Sadly, that reality isn't... real.
TTG didn't do the cover art for any of the retail releases -- those little gems were all handled by the publishers for the different regions in which the games were released -- and the box I did for TTG's Cow Race release was just following the precedent set by whoever did the Out From Boneville DVD cover, which was made well before I started working at TTG. If there was a real reason to do a proper cover for a Bone release, which I actually had control over, I would make something cool :P But I don't expect that to be the case.
I trudged through the registration procedure just so I could post this. Thank you so much for the huge amounts of time and effort it must have took to put these together. They're simply stunning
After a quick trip to the local print shop they're now hanging on the walls of my study and preventing me from doing any work since I keep glancing at them.
Another cover that would make an awesome print is the Loom one, which I consider one of the most beautiful covers ever made. I could just be looking at it with rose-tinted glasses, but it sure brings back memories of childhood.
Someone definitely needs to start doing this kind of covers again.
Very impressed by the work in this thread, it prompted me to register, I've done some hunting and want to make a poster of the attached photo, but can find a high enough res picture, does anyone know where i may find one?

Thanks to the nice and simple geometric shapes of this one, I managed to upscale it rather easily. I've done it at about 6500 wide, which seems to be plenty big enough for printing posters.
Looks like Laserschwert's work is making some waves. After he posted a compendium of his works so far on the LucasForums, it was picked up as a news story on Joystiq. Thought it was worth sharing with everyone, if only to show his LucasForums post with a list of all of the work he has done so far. Hope to see more soon!

Good call, and nice poster... loved the bread, and all those inventory items...
You can get the big thing HERE (60x80cm @ 200dpi) and HERE with the "Mindbenders"-subtitle.
great friggen work btw.. always.
Well... uhm... on Mix-n-Mojo's forums... doing the same
But there's some tinkering left until it's perfect.
Furthermore another version (with a bigger preview right HERE):
And at full res HERE (though this one is 60x90cm @ 200dpi).
The Death Star looks a bit odd though.
If all goes well I'll have my own domain up by next week.
Edit: So, I've fixed up the links to the latest two images.
Have you done the StarWars/Day of the Tentacle poster? It looks really good!

Yeah, besides other things that's what my efforts were aiming it ;-)
For the image hosts... you can try imageshack or photobucket...they dont block IPs
Sadly Imageshack does block referrers though, and my "home forum" (a German DVD-forum) is obviously on their blacklist... whyever that is.
Bigger preview
Full size download (60x80cm @ 300dpi)
(Thanks to the CGW Museum for providing me with the clean artwork!)

Any help appreciated (BTW the photo was originally from here: http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/1430/dayofthetentaclezw3.jpg

I put it on sendspace as photobucket re-sizes them:
