Does anyone have the vector art for a Tempest control panel overlay?

I didn't see it on Vectorlib...

Sigh... Where's AAL when I need it?

Damn C & D letters!!!

He never got a C&D letter. That's what makes it even worse.

Well, I can see why he wouldn't want to mess around, as I believe he said that he also used that site for client files. But still, that sucks!

Any luck turning this up? I'm looking for the same.

Havok · « **Reply #4 on:** May 03, 2006, 10:55:42 am »

Nope - never got any bites. Still looking...

I want some major high rez scans or photos as I am wanting to re create a vector Tempest CPO. I've got the skillz, I just need really good art to work off of.

I have the control panel at home. Can't really scan it but would be happy to take a few pics for you. It's a bit beat up but I think it should be useful. Email me at bobrow(at)earthlink.net and I'll send them to you or put them on my ftp.

I have some stuff you can definitely use, but my artwork HDD is still having issues...Gimme a week or so; you won't be dissappointed.

KonkeyKong · « **Reply #8 on:** May 08, 2006, 04:19:16 pm »

you da man rohan! maybe PM me when it's ready in case I forget to check this thread.

rohan · « **Reply #9 on:** May 11, 2006, 12:23:37 am »

Check your e-mail...Post updates please!

Havok · « **Reply #10 on:** May 11, 2006, 01:35:45 pm »

Sweet! Make sure to upload to localarcade when it's complete!

KonkeyKong · « **Reply #11 on:** May 11, 2006, 02:13:11 pm »

Hats off to rohan! I'll begin work on this, it's gonna take a while as it is a complicated piece, and I've got a day job, and a family, but I will post updates for yuz guys and upload when completed.

KonkeyKong · « **Reply #12 on:** May 11, 2006, 04:06:39 pm »

oh-oh, now I'm a little confused...

All the images of Tempest CPO's I could find on the inernet looked like the top photo, rohan's CPO is the bottom one. Were there different revisions?

Havok · « **Reply #13 on:** May 12, 2006, 07:46:54 am »

That looks like a repro - I don't ever remember seeing a big 1 and 2 for the player start buttons. Plus, the colors are off. Looks like you could still use it and adjust the colors after tracing?

KonkeyKong · « **Reply #14 on:** May 22, 2006, 10:27:41 pm »

I'm an idiot. Full vector, ughh. This puppy is gonna take a long while, but it has begun. It will be full size, I just chopped some of the black space off the bottom to make for a smaller file size. I'll update as I progress.

Dervacumen · « **Reply #15 on:** May 23, 2006, 07:14:24 am »

Man,
I wish I could do that. I'm guessing the artwork is 23.75" wide, but how tall is it? Looking mighty fine.

KonkeyKong · « **Reply #16 on:** May 23, 2006, 09:36:25 am »

If I add the black space back in it turns out to be 18.5 inches tall, and yup, it is 23.75 wide.

rohan · « **Reply #17 on:** May 23, 2006, 03:35:37 pm »

Fine progress there, Kong.

I hope those photos are enough to work with to do this piece justice...Keep up the good work.

KonkeyKong · « **Reply #18 on:** June 02, 2006, 12:30:27 pm »

I've run into a bit of a hitch...
The Tempest font we need is called Aquarius No. 8
It costs $22
Wondering if we could pass the old PayPal hat for contributions?
I'm willing to pay 8-10 dollars, can we scrounge up the rest?

my email is lkohnke@orangecitycomm.net

KonkeyKong · « **Reply #19 on:** June 02, 2006, 09:49:13 pm »

O.K.... I broke down and bought the font. Hopefully these images will inspire a contribution or two to the font fund. Everything you see is vector. The explosion stuff takes forever. Oh, I've got images of the instructions coming and then I can set the type for them.

RetroBorg · « **Reply #20 on:** June 03, 2006, 05:42:25 am »

Is that a typo where it says "100 points. 5plits into two Flippers when hit."

KonkeyKong · « **Reply #21 on:** June 03, 2006, 10:10:17 am »

double-checked it, it is an S, but it does look similar to the 5 in this typeface.

KonkeyKong · « **Reply #22 on:** June 24, 2006, 05:21:20 pm »

still plunking along...
want to give a great big thanks to Dervacumen for the sizable contribution towards font expenses, he covered 70 percent of the cost. Too cool, too cool
applaud:

bvicarious · « **Reply #23 on:** May 23, 2008, 05:05:07 pm »

Was this ever finished or has KonkeyKong released his file to anyone? I'm doing up the side art to Tempest right now, and I'm sure I could knock out the control panel in a few hours if someone can give me decent photos of it. Is rohan still around??

rikitiki · « **Reply #24 on:** June 05, 2008, 05:17:20 pm »

Im confused if tis a cpo you seek why not just buy one from Arcadeshop?

bvicarious · « **Reply #25 on:** June 05, 2008, 07:31:50 pm »

Because it's easier to make my own, and I want to release it to the masses when it's finished
