Indiana
Jones and the Emperor's Tomb
Art Competition |
| And the winners are... |

Absolute
best of the contest:
Cliff Laureys
This poster is simply astonishing! You can hear
Indy music, feel the seedy orient, and yet the
warmth of Indiana Jones in the oranges. The whip
in the foreground, and the cast shadow of Indy
is so amazingly original (although slightly echoing
a certain 'episode I' teaser poster). What a take
on Indy, and what a perfect way to illustrate
this game!

How Cliff
Laureys made his 'Emperor's Tomb' poster:
The poster is made with Adobe Photoshop and contains
several different layers: Indy's shadow was hand
drawn, (based on a still from 'Raiders of the
Lost Ark') and scanned into the computer. The
whip in the corner is a scan of a real whip. The
background layers are made out of different scanned
pictures: a chinese wall, a dark alley, a sky,
a bi-plane (with added CG smoke), and the temple
(which I matted onto a picture of a mountain top.)
The frame was made with paper, paint and a lighter
;). Finally, all layers were treated with several
photoshop actions to make the different layers
appear to be one whole.

Digital Art entry:
Jacob Schloss
Simply awesome! Jacob's news article is
very original and more importantly, damn well
done! Jacob really took a lot of time researching
to get this right. It not only looks good, it's
also an interesting read! Also read Jacob's brief
historical notes here under.

Jacob Schloss'
brief historical notes in regards to the entry:
| • |
All
of the information about the emperor's history
is to the best of my knowledge accurate and
taken from books and magazine articles on
the subject. For example the terra cotta statues'
weapons were in fact still capable of cutting
leather when they were unearthed according
to one book. |
| • |
According
to the book 'Indiana Jones and the Dinosaur
Eggs' Dr. Jones did teach at Princeton University
before starting at Barnett College. Einstein
really did teach at Princeton's School of
Mathematics from 1933-1955 and came up with
the theory mentioned in 1935. |
| • |
The
'Princeton Weekly Bulletin' was read by students
and faculty in 1935 (and is still read today).
However I made up the layout and format myself
- no outside reference was used. |

Second
Best Digital Art entry:
Giuliano D'Angelo
Giuliano tried to dream 'Indiana Jones and the
Emperor's Tomb' as a film sequel, not just a game.
While he was making his poster entry, he most
likely had Drew Struzan's work next to him as
an inspiration. And it helped. Giuliano makes
us wish 'Emperor's Tomb' was not only a game but
also a film. Very nicely done!

Classical Art entry:
Scott Oakley
This work is inspired by Dave Dorman's comic book
covers, but it still maintains originality. The
unity of the colors, red and green, is quite daring
for an Indiana Jones poster but it's perfect and
the emblem in the background works great. Nicely
done Scott!

Second
Best Classical Art entry:
Peter Overstreet
The composition of Peter's poster is a bit lacking,
and yet the technique stands out, and is just nicely
done in that respect. And if you are wondering why
this digital eying entry is chosen as one of the
best classical art entries, it's because the art
is entirely hand done. Peter only used a bit of
Photoshop in the ending.
