Title: WTB: Killer Instinct sideart and CPO
Post by: Orrimarrko on February 11, 2006, 12:51:29 pm
Hey y'all,

I was wondering if anyone knows where I could find a place that sells a complete Killer Instinct art set (sides, cpo, etc.)

I'd appreciate any help or suggestions (or referrals), as I'm tired of getting no where on google.

Thanks so much for any help.

Steve

The thread probably should have gone in the B/S/T forum.... regardless

US Amusement Auctions appear to have some nos parts...albeit expensive!!

Thanks - I saw that they had the CPO and marquee, but not the other art.

Thanks,
Steve

I have a poorly colored scan of the killer instinct CPO that I got from Sinner.  If anybody here is interested in restoring it, I can send them the file.  He said that he is going to try to rescan it soon and get me a better copy.  As far as a marquee goes, I got one of those from http://www.classicarcadegrafix.com/ and it turned out pretty good.

Hey blake...the image I sent you was a picture with my digital camera...I now have the CPO scanned into 6 separate images, that need to be combined...I'll be sending them to you soon...

Awesome.  Whenever I get those I'll be hosting them on a website for whoever wants them.  I will also be getting them to classicarcadegrafix.com so that they can start selling a killer instinct CPO.

I hope you're getting a deal on the print job they do for you...

I'm almost finished with the CPO thanks to sinner!  Here is a preview of what I'm working on...

So far it's 728 MB, so I don't know how I will share it with everybody.  Does anybody know somewhere that will host it when it's finished?

Looks great...I'm glad you were able to put all the pieces together...

maybee you export / save the file to a smaller format (jpeg with a compression set to 8 or 10 or12) may produce a smaller file without too many quality loss ans you zip the file. if it goes down 100 MB  I can host it.

Do you have a DVD writer?  I'd gladly ship you a blank disc with return postage included.  I'll be needing this one of these days if I ever get a board to de-convert my KI.

Post by: blakes on March 15, 2006, 01:12:32 am
Yes, I have a DVD writer.  When it's zipped up, it's actually much smaller.  I've also yet to save it in TIF format to see how small it is like that.  Right now I'm uploading the finished product to classicarcadegrafix.com.  If you want, I can arrange to host the files for you to download.  I just don't want to host them permanently as a 700 MB download will definitely slow down my web server's bandwidth.

If you want me to burn them onto a cd-r or dvd-r, I have no issue with doing that.  I'm more than willing to get them to you by any other means as well, in order to save you money and time.  This is my first time working with art, and I tried to restore any of the areas that looked weird on the scan to the best of my ability.  I would love it if somebody who has been restoring artwork for a long time would take a look at this and fix anything that they find wrong with it.

Here is a scaled down version of the finished product.  I think that I fixed up the discoloration to the best of my current abilities.  The only things that I didn't really clean up were things on the buttons, since those will be cut out anyways. 

I hope that this benefits the arcade community as I know that I've seen a lot of people trying to get the KI artwork.  At some point I'm going to try to get a NOS CPO and scan it with our huge professional Xerox scanner at work.  Right now I'm just trying to find one for under 89.99

If this turns out really nice when I get the printed copy from classicarcadegrafix.com, I'll let everybody know.  Are you wanting the .PSD files or would you be ok with it in .TIF format?

I would personally prefer the PSD format.  I love layers.  ;D

I'm working on getting my servers up.  Right now my Sparc server is reporting no hard drive, so I have to see what's going on with that.  My dual p3 server has yet to be tested, I'll probably test it tonight.

In other news, classicarcadegrafix.com already has my CPO for sale!  I uploaded the original 733MB file to their FTP, so it should be good quality.  I already ordered one, so I'll let all of you know how it turns out.

The control panel arrived today.  The colors aren't as bright as I expected them to be, but that's due to a protective laminate type substance that's on the CPO.  Overall this is probably better as far as lifetime of the product is concerned.  The bad thing is that whoever shipped it put it in the box wrong and now it has this huge permanent crease.  I tried to get it out, but it's not coming out.  I emailed classicarcadegrafix.com and they said to use heat.  Heat didn't do anything for it, so I told them.

They sent me an email saying that they would send me a replacement at no extra charge.  Looks like I won't have to buy another one from somewhere else  :)

I'll let everybody know how it turns out with pictures once it's all done.

Do you still intent to make the file available to those who want it?
Title: Re: WTB: Killer Instinct sideart and CPO
Post by: blakes on April 24, 2006, 09:03:19 am
Yes, but I will not be able to host it for very long as it's such a big file.  I'll try to get it uploaded tonight and then provide a link.  I will need for other people to host it, as I don't have the bandwidth to support very many downloads of a nearly 1 GB file.

Here's how it turned out!

Looks really good...I can't wait to get working on my KI cab...

I have all the KI1 artwork restored.  Im just seeing if there is still an interest in people wanting it.  (All of it, except the CPO and marquee since its been done already)

I did the KI2 CPO that mamemarquees is selling.

I also plan on doing the KI2 sideart if there is enough interest.

Ill get the KI1 stuff to scott as soon as he gets his backorder stuff all taken care of..

those are just thumbnails, you cant use those for printing.  You will be able to buy them from mamemarquees eventually...

Hi!! it´s unbelivebable that i´ve found this thread!! :), im from spain and a hardcore KI player, right now i´m with a friend this days, doing from scratch (all) a reproduction of the KI arcade machine, we dont have any MK or NFL - Midway titles to have a machine to modify, so we are making ALL by scratch, including the Artwork...

Right now i was working on the CPO with a poor pics that a guy send me on eBay, and it still looks fine. blakes, ToplessZ, your arts are OUTSTANDING!! i will be very glad if you share them with me :). I´ve seen that some people has showed up interest to share his designs with us, and in this thread are there some thumbnails IMPRESSIVE, i think that if anyone could help me with Higher res. versions of his restored artwork i could finish our machine in about 2 o 3 weeks :D.... Could you help me? i have the marquee at HIPER-HIGH resolution and ready to print it...

He´re are a pic of our early machine (still needs the marquee flourescent light and the artwork- XGaming controls installed -bought-).
(http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/5817/imagen020ac5.jpg)

If anyone wants, in www.mediafire.com you could upload 100mb files up to ten times in one session :), it could be perfect to share high res designs :D. here´s a sample of my Original-Based Marquee, if anyone wants it with highghghghgher resolution, just ask me :), i could upload it on media fire on a second :)

Well, I just uploaded the images to Scott at www.mamemarquees.com  you should be able to get every peice printed from him soon.  He's printing me a copy to proof, then if its good; it will be listed on his site.  I would hand out the images but since he's printing me a set for free I would like him to make some money off of it.  Im pretty sure he will be the only arcade printing company to have that artwork so he should make some bank off of it.

If he gets enough requests for KI2 and wants to work a similar deal, Ill make all the KI2 artwork as well, since I already did the CPO for him.

Post by: DaRKSLaiN on June 30, 2008, 03:18:45 am
Thanks in advance :D, i could preffer to have the pics and print it by myself :D, it would be perfect, because some parts of our machine dont match exactly the size and i should get to expand-reduce to have my custom size :D if you are able to share them with me it will be better, cause its the fastest way to finish the cabinet.

I will await like a child on christmas for your art, Top :D:D:D!!! :)

I warned blakes too for seeing if he can help me ^^ :)

Is this the side of the cp box from a KI 1?
Do you have cp box side art for a KI2?

Please post/upload all that you can. I am an artwork junkie.... ;D
Title: Re: WTB: Killer Instinct sideart and CPO
Post by: ToplessZ on July 17, 2008, 06:13:48 pm
I just got the prints from mamemarquees and they look GREAT!  So you should be able to go to there site tonight and order ALL of the sideart for a KI1 machine from him; so gatordad you should be able to order the sides and front a KI1 control panel from him now.

I have the KI2 artwork as well, I just havent retouched any of it yet(except the CPO which I sent him a long time ago), If scott gets enough requests/orders for it, then it will be worth my time to get that done as well.  So if you need KI2 artwork email mamemarquees and request it.  I basically am doing all this work so that I can get free prints, but it takes many HOURS of my time(I spent about 15 hours doing KI1)

I also can make MK4, original MK1 so if you need those printed let scott now as well....
Also please dont ask me for .jpg files yet, Its only fair that I gave Scott the images so he could sell them in exhange for free prints.  If I give them out he wont make the money he deserves for them.
