Indiana Jones Grail Knight Painting - 3 Mega High Res Pics

[Alan Castillo]

I was unsure if to post this in the free paper props sub-forum or here, since its technically a painting (?) on wood (?), 'part' of a prop (?) etc.

Anyway, we all know its this

And we all know where this scan comes from :angel

Most of the available pics have the top 1 cm or so a lighter colour than the rest of the painting, because they are all scanned from the same source.

Also, due to this reflection present when the original prop was photographed, if available images are not enhanced with real gold leaf 'in real life', the gold leaf is almost always invariably also almost white (as seen above).


Here is the result of around 2 full days work on the original archive image, totally corrected, amongst many others, for the top lighter part.

Save to your desktop and enjoy. Once again, Happy New Year all

To quote BazzanoJones from COW, who is very likely 100% correct :

-------------------------------------------------------

I think the measures written on the book "From Star Wars to Indiana Jones" are wrong.
With the movie screen shots I've estimated a realistic dimension.

The paint it's about 12"x 8" 3/4
The wood planks are 15" 1/2 x 11" 1/2

And here is an even sharper version I made, with the same top part fixed.

I wasn't entirely satisfied with this, but you may wish to play around with the balances a little & fix it to taste

This one even has the fold / visible crease in the centre removed.

Re: Indiana Jones Grail Knight Painting - 2 Mega High Res Pics

.... and the original image for you to play around with as you please

 

[Alan Castillo]

PS - Save the last 2 images in a single folder on their own, & flick repeatedly between them to see the differences / enhancements.

Sorry, I don't know how to create a gif :lol


EDIT : I just learnt how on line :lol

Thanks for the pics Alan!!

I would love to see an accurate hand painted 1:1 version of this prop made. The best painted replica I have seen out there is posted here:

Although not 100% accurate it's excellent work!!

So what kind of paint would you suppose this to look best in? I don't see oils working here, it's too much of a textured paint it seems like to me.

 

[GeordieIndy]

Not too sure what paint would be best... I'm not sure what paint Andreas' painting is on the link I posted but it looks good!

I just think Andreas' has a real nice finish to it, the wood looks perfect and the overall finish excellent.

I think I'm going to see about having this printed on canvas for myself, the Wal-Mart in my town can do a 8x10 for $30, but does anyone know the type of wood that was used?

 

[MurdocXXL]

Many thanks This is realy an amazing work. The painting looks awesome :love

Any chance the file(s) could be posted again? I'm trying to get my hands on a digital, hi-res image of the Leap of Faith painting and only find poor quality images via Google. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Not sure if this what you are looking for, but it's maybe better than the "poor quality images" that you found on Google.
