[brandomack]

I was commissioned by a member to make one of these.

Its been a fun project so far.

Artwork by Juan Carlos Porcel, based on original work by Ray Lai

I wouldn't mind having one of those, if the pages were all actually filled. I really like the authentic look to it.

The pages are repeated, with a custom generic text page as the bulk filler. I've been working under the direction of the original Arcanum propmaker.

About 30 different pages in total.

i met with the original maker of the prop this morning, he looked it over and was pleased with how it is turning out.
He walked me through the steps i need to take to achieve the best result. He still had the thank you card from the
13 Ghosts prop master.

Wow..amazing. Please tell me the writing wasnt freehand. I know it can be done but good lord, not in the last 200 years.

LOL. No, the pages are carefully formatted and printed on both sides using a large format printer and heavy weight paper.

On a side note. The propmaker was also responsible for all of the books on BSG, Smallville, X-Men 3, and the Nostradamus book from First Wave, among countless others.

Such a visually stunning movie with a great central prop that drives the whole movie. I would be interested in one of these if you ever do a run. Your work is looking stellar.

I just had a great conversation with the fellow who created the Black Zodiac, lettering and non-ghost drawings. I'm making him an Arcanum

He's the one who designed the phasers and tricorders for Star Trek: Discovery.

Funny the drawings and the text on your photos are the same than the drawings made by Juan Carlos Porcel 2 years ago.
And then the text is absolutely non canon comparing to original props made for the film.
I spend time to decypher all the latin texts on the original drawings and made a private set for Juan Carlos based on the drawings he made.
I have the original fonts and add, and modify some that appears in the movie.
Shame you don't credit Juan Carlos...

Well, if i actually knew that Juan Carlos Porcel came up with the drawings and text then i would have credited him. The files used were provded to me by someone else. I spent $40 on the font, which looked like ****, and was a complete waste of money.


So, thanks for coming here and being a sanctimonious pri ck Next time do it in a PM.

I already told you on FB, but you thought I was an idiot telling you about the truth. Look in the Free Paper Props section, I am on this thing since 2011. Have a nice day.

Just one question. Did you get Ray Lai's permission before you started?
