The International House of Mojo

I can't believe that Prucell piece has gotten too few bids! It seems like a decent price for original artwork, and I'd totally bid if I had the money ...

He's also selling a Dr. Zachary action figure. Cool beans!

Let's hope I don't get outbid on the FT-poster... I think it helps more people when I get it ;-)

It's happened... outbid. Stupid idiots who don't know about the poster project.

Time for a Mojo mob attack!

Aw, and I was prepared to bring out the Springfield to finish it off at the last minute :P

I was hoping you were going for it, and I'm glad for you for speaking up.

An LEC collector's wet dream. If only money weren't so expensive right now.

(But hey, at least Purcell's filling in the gaps that the Rogue Leaders book left behind!)

To be fair, the artwork he's selling WAS featured full page in "Rogue Leaders". Cropped, of course, but still.

I thought the artwork in question was used in an advertisement for Rogue Leaders, but failed to materialize in the book itself.

Nope, that was this one:

Are there any BIG versions of this image?

No, that's all there is.

Actually, someone who went to PAX 2009 (where Telltale displayed it) posted a pretty large photo on Flickr. Unfortunately it's not dead-on but it'll have to do:

I concede to your rightness!

I may never have this fine piece hanging in my living room but it's great to see it nonetheless.

The more Purcell-Monkey-goodness I see the more I weep for what MI:SE could have been had his services been utilized.

Purcell's probably too busy at Pixar.

I like the SMI:SE, the mediocre character models aside. I think too many people have this idea it's meant to be somewhat realistic. The water, clouds and buildings are mostly pretty good. They got most of the colors right. I dunno. I think people just like to complain.

I'd never say I don't like it! It just seemed a shame that the series' return to 2D (in HD no less) didn't take the opportunity to capture at least some of that warm and fuzzy hand-drawn\painted quality that make the earlier games (2 and 3 at the very least) so gorgeous. The character models reminded me of those weird corners of the internet you'd stumble on in the `90s when kids discovered they could make comics and\or porn with pirated copies of Poser 3D.

That's probably going a bit far, but either way they felt loveless. 2D sprites rendered from 3D source material almost always stands out like a sore thumb, and just doesn't feel like MI.

Purcell's MI art gives me the warm and fuzzies whenever I see it.

Nostalgia :)

It's not really nostalgia. Purcell's art for the original games is really really good, whereas the art for the Special Edition is total pants. Regardless of the higher resolution, the game definitely got a graphical downgrade.

Damn!

But too expensice vor me. I would buy the FT-poster though. We'll see if he adds shipping to Europe.

Hehe... "vor"... like I'm German or so.

Let's all chip in and buy them for mojo. ¬¬

I agree. It will all have to be sent to me, of course, and since I will be in charge of "holding duty" I don't need to many a monetary contribution.

I may then scan it in later, if I have the time.

Also, I love that Elaine. I've always thought the perfect Elaine would be a blend between that one and the one they went with in Tales. The CMI one was close.
