I like the cover! Reminds me a lot of the Isla Sorna map, found in the novel. Am I the only one who finds a lot of fun in just drawing simple mountains like that?
The speedboat reminds me of a combination of that crashed CP-23 boat from the JP ride and the hunter vehicle, as you said. Although it's toy inspired, it actually seems like a plausible design you might have seen in TLW, or maybe in wrecked form at the marina in JP3.
I knew the third one was a JPDS reference as soon as I saw the yellowish Raptor! You know you've achieved something notable when the reference is that easy to pick up on. Still makes me wish we'd at least seen a completed JPDS1, with the EA and all.
As for the final one...honestly, wow...I'm really flattered. That's the first time anyone's made anything like that for me. At the same time, it's kind of sad, looking it over...the fancy trees, the HD crates, but really that Isla Nublar sign with "TI" on it is what hits home for me. I'm suddenly impacted by this strange feeling like I've taken a step into a new phase of my life looking at that forlorn signpost. It's rather sad, honestly, like a good friend gone forever. When you spend 11 or 12 years of your life working on something like that, it really feels like a part of you, like a massive personal achievement, even if it was only meant to be played by a few guys here on the internet.
I have to say, Draco - thanks for making this, I really appreciate it. That really made my day (well, made my night, since it's after midnight here).
Oh, and I hope the radio in the bottom-right is playing something good...
I ever pick up a sketchbook again, I'll have to return the favour.
