John Popadiuk - Magic Girl

[Xiaou2]

John Popadiuk is planning to make a new pinball machine called Magic Girl.  Seems similar in theme to Theatre of Magic.

 TOM, and Tales from the Arabian Knights are two of the most beautiful pins Ive ever laid eyes on.   They play fast and are fun.  Circus V. was too 'flamboyant' for my tastes.

 Pinball 2000 however, leaves a very bad taste in my mouth.

 Should be interesting to see what he comes up with.  Hopefully he was stay away from the 2k stuff this time.

A few buyers have already paid pre-orders for every unit that will be made, I saw somewhere.  Unless you pre-order, you can only see the super vague design stuff that's posted on his website.  I'll be interested to see what it looks like if/when it gets done.

The game is listed under "mechanical" so I assume that means it's a traditional form pinball.

I do love that artwork!

 Me2.  Theres a real Magic about Real hand drawn inked artwork, rather than crappy photoshop pasted pictures and line work from a layout person, rather than a true skilled Artist.

 IMOP, mixed media Art should be used on pins... much like some of the more modern comic covers.  A combination of inked lines, inks, pencils, paints & airbrush.

 An artistic interpretive painting always holds infinitely more interest & value than a photograph.

Not in general, but in pinball I'd agree.
