Looks incredible sexy!

I have to say out of all the Sideart scans Ravage posted, I liked Xevious the best.

thank's for the kind words ;)

regarding the bezel, if someone can provide or point to scans suitable for tracing, they will end to be done
problem is as always to have a good enough material source.

I believe Mr Mahuti has both stashed on his HD! He hasnt put them up on teh Library yet as I think he wanted to check a few art files first....

As normal, he's bogged down with work to even get round to having a quick look...

Email/PM him.....I'm sure if you want them he'll up them to the Library.

You are cranking out some serious detail!

Incidentally, what prompted you to even do this? Are you a big Xevious fan?

I upped the DKJr. bezel. Hopefully I can get to posting some of the other stuff I got from Rohan a long time ago, as well as some of the other stuff I have "stashed"

I'm in the process of tracing Centipede side art. I'll post a WIP whenever I get around to it. I just finished a whole bunch of big jobs, finished selling my house, packing and moving 2000 miles (including 3 cabinets and a pinball)

I'll be getting back to some of my hobbies soon, and begin helping out a bit more.

This has to be one of the best sideart artwork on an old arcade machine.

I never realised what it was like until ravage posted a few shots of what he scanned.

excellent work as normal Zorg!

How much work is left to do? Seems like your almost (not quite) done!

The sideart for Xevious is definitely amazing. It'd be tough to get any more of the enemies in the game to fit on there. You can definitely tell a lot about the gameplay just by looking at the art -- lots of enemies on the ground and in the air while flying over a forest. That's pretty much Xevious in a nutshell.

Awesome work Zorg, thanks for all the material that you have vectorized and uploaded to the Arcade library.

It is fantastic to be able to restore and document all this valuable Arcade history.

Hopefully that Super PacMan cocktail underlay is still on your plate that you told me you'd get to a long time ago.

You can see that your time has been very well spent, the whole thing is so damn sexy.

I'm definately going to make a MAME cover with this art when its done.

I absolutely love the artwork on Xevious machines.  I cleaned up one of these a while back for a friend of mine.  I touched up all of the black lines with a sharpie, so I can kind of empathize with how much work it must have been to trace all of that.  You can see it on my webpage (http://www.jhanson.com/arcade/xevious) (which is currently being renovated, so please excuse any broken links).

Zorg,

If you can get teh bezel done, I can add it to MAME in HiRes. At the moment MAMEWORLD has had some idiot submit low res thumbnails to create MAME bezel artwork....and its driving me crazy!

Any bezels we can get in Vector AI format will be very well received.

The same guy even used a cocktail underlay as a bezel! Sheesh!

if I can have access to some suitable material to trace the xevious bezel I will trace it.

if I can have access to some suitable material to trace the any bezel I would like to trace I will trace it.

as always the problem is to find such a good material.
