Now that I've got your interest with the totoro image...
Who would be interested in an Echo book? For you guys who don't remember or know what Echo is, you can check it out
here or in its original environment

The narrative really craves for closure, and I'm interested in re-imaging all the screens in full color, in printable format, for a real, tangible Echo book. The screens would be one page each, done from scratch at 300 dpi for A5 or even possibly as large as A4 format. Doing it all again and finishing the storyline would take effort, which is why I'm either only doing a few test pages for fun or then if I get serious, try something like kickstarter or indiegogo. The style would be faithful to the original look but update the colour range for a deeper experience (still keeping the original athmosphere).
UPDATE:
I'm trying to get some price estimates for printing maybe 20-50 copies of the book, 26 full-color pages, soft or hard cover, semiglossy paper (170g maybe) and then come up with reasonable estimates for shipping to different locations worldwide to get some kind of idea of the total costs and if I could throw in some A3/A2 prints for sponsors or very supportive people. Or just for buying a bunch of books.
All of this needs redesign of the narrative, doing the layout for the book, covers and stuff. Also, a proper site for the project would be called for to track its progress and see some samples to get you interested in the merchandise
We'll see how it all turns out.
