Title: Defender inspired side-art
Post by: lazrhog on April 04, 2016, 01:43:55 pm: So I found (by accident) this site, where a guy had been commissioned to draw some defender posters. http://www.1up.com/do/blogEntry?bId=7596238 (http://www.1up.com/do/blogEntry?bId=7596238)

I figured that looked quite cool, so redrew some of the graphics in Inkscape, and tried to make a side-art out of it for my Bartop I am making. The whole image is now vectorised.

I'll happily take any constructive criticism before I get it printed, and probably share the full image when done :)

I mean, it's okay, but if you're paying to have custom art printed....

:dunno
