Uncharted 2: Among Theives

[d_jedi1]

Here is a copy of the Tibetan Prayer Flag - Windhorse. I bought one and scanned it into my computer. I cleaned it up a little bit.

I was thinking of buying some green cotton clothe like these are on and printing this onto an iron on.

Any updates on your journal. I saw the games listed in the new Entertainment Weekly year review.

Best,

that image is awesome, I need to get out my stuff and make one of my own.
I haven't really made much progress lately. We're on sixty hour weeks at work until the end of the year and I'm basically in zombie mode.. I work, come home, eat, and pass out until I have to do it again. I'm gonna try to get some done today (my only day off) but we'll see if that happens or if I just sleep all day. I feel like I'm getting a sinus infection or something and it's probably cause I'm working too hard.
I work in the picking department at Amazon although I ocassionally swing into other departments if they need the help. In pick, you walk a minimum of twenty miles a day..

I just played through Uncharted this week and started Uncharted 2 this weekend. I'm totally digging how detailed everything is, especially the random treasures you find. I may have to start sculpting a few of these to populate a shelf in the ol' Detolf.

Anyone make the oil lamp from 2 yet?

awesome.. if I do another one, I'll definitely use your Sully pic

I did a quick update on my journal

and I'm working on a costume.. not too terribly difficult (except for the holster)

Quick question, what did you use for the ring?

Quick question, what did you use for the ring?

lol it was a cheap fifteen dollar (if even that) ring that I bought at a mall kiosk. Supposed to be silver, it's stamped on the inside .925 and has no other markings.

Does anybody know what the cover of Nate's journal looks like? I can't seem to find pictures of it. Thanks for posting all the reference material by the way.

I just played Uncharted 2 on a decent HDTV and it's actually a blue cover...I need to get a decent screen shot of it.

 

[d_jedi1]

Thank you VERY much, I appreciate you posting this. I'll have to see what I can do with it

You're not wrong.. unless it's a dark blue, but either way it's a solid color.

Looking good, I like these journal props. If you're after Moleskine's and want something cheaper, Picadilly do a cheaper version, pretty much the same as Moleskine, Borders usually stocks them.

 

[d_jedi1]

I did some work on the passport.. it's not 100% done and still needs a lot of work but it looks the part now.

 

[Vettius]

Nice work on the passport!

 

[Kredepops]

Thanks guys for all the free stuff. Are you still working on it? I'm thinking about starting this project too. Hope I can help.

 

[d_jedi1]

Yeah, I'm still working on the Journal. I got caught up in multiplayer and was letting that eat my time Anyway, I'm back on this now and slowly making progress. Hand drawing everything is time consuming.. especially when I'm trying for accuracy
I'd love to see others tackle this one. lol I'm sure someone will make one that blows my attempt away.

 

[Kredepops]

cool, Yeah I play Uncharted multiplayer too - it's sooo good! Especially if you've bought all the DLC stuff.

I'd love to see when you got new stuff from the diary though.

I'm starting out doing my own today, I'll post some pics when I actually have something to show

 

[d_jedi1]

sounds awesome.. I'm looking forward to seeing it.
I need to get myself a new print cartridge so I can print off a couple inserts (which I honestly, should probably clean up a bit first)

 

[Kredepops]

Have you done all the 'old paper' pages yet? The ones that looks like they're from an old book ripped out and taped into the journal? I'm starting out with those, because I'm going to print them out, I'm currently tracing it all in hi-res from screen photos in Photoshop and Painter to get that hand-drawn look. They're really intricate and hard to duplicate, but it's fun

 

[d_jedi1]

No, I only have four of those pages done at the moment. the first two, and the last two. (well, if you're counting the ones from the back of the journal)

I have the earlier ones done though along with most of the drawn pages. I only have three of the hand drawn ones to do so I'll probably wrap those up here in the next couple of days and then get cracking on the "German Expedition" pages. That "Demon Yeti" page will be a beast to do by hand though
I need to do some research on what would have been used to add color to old bhuddist (or whatever) scrolls.
Need to find out about the various flowers stashed in the journal too

 

[Kredepops]

Yeah that Demon Yeti page is gonna take some time to do! and those flowers they are going to be hard to find! Have you found/identified any of the coins that are taped in on one of the pages?

I'm painting it all digitally though as I'm not confident that I copy it closely enough by hand. The parts that Drakes has drawn I have to do by hand as I don't know how to take the book apart to print the pages.

I'm in the process of scaling and distorting all the screenshots to the moleskin book A5 format I've bought. I guess that printing out all the pages first will make it easier to copy if they're not in perspective like in the game.
