With the upcoming release of the hobbit, I thought it was time to do this project I have been wanting to do for awhile. Before I go any further let me say that The Red Book of Westmarsh, that indyMagnoli, ob1al, and the rest of the folks who worked on it at "lord of the rings guide.com", is by far the most supurb book prop I have ever seen. I have lusted after this for years, BUT even if I came up with the extra cash to by one, my wife would not let me spend that kind of cash on a book. ( no I am not hen pecked, but as the saying goes happy wife, happy life) I do suggest that if you can spend the money, get Indys version, it is superb in every way, from the hand written letters down to the paper he used.
Now having said that, I propose to make a new verson to share withthe poor folks like myself for free that they could use to make thier own book. But please understand I do not want to rip off any Part of thier book please do not post any part here. Their book was based manly on the lotr books. Since I want to use the cover from the movie I think this time that the text should be all based on the movies. With new drawings, Please no drawings of indys, that would not be fair to him. I do believe any pics or words seen in the movie are fair game. I would like to copy the artwork from the movie, dvd boxes and movie books that we can get, but to keep out of trouble, it would have to be our newly drawn version as this will be fan art.
This is going to take a while. It took them 5 months to write it and Indy a year and half to draw and hand wright it. I hope since we will be printing ours, it should take about six months or so from start to finish. I will try to post links to our finished works and drawings here in the first post to make it easer for folks later to make their own copy.
