Defender sideart wanted!

[Carsten Carlos]

Hi there!

Not for me but a friend who has selfbuild a Defender cabinet.

Can't find it on the web - has anyone a hires-picture, or better a vectorgraphic of the Defender sideart? I know it's spraypainted in original, but it's still rather complex.

if you find a good enough res image of the side art, and are not in hurry I'll could help for the vectorisation .

[Carsten Carlos]

Thanx, Zorg, I'll try that! I'll keep you informed

I'm just about done with a vector version if you don't mind waiting a few days.

Is there any chance of me getting a copy of your artwork as well? I've been trying to aquire a set for sometime now. Mahuti talked about letting me download his set but it never came to pass.

Hey, thats great!   I'll happily wait - just keep us informed

@Nannuu
By the way, had a look at your "toyshelf-room" -wow, that looks great, reminds me of a victorian house! Say, are these wallpapers or is it some special kind of wallpaint?   Very nice shelf, too - really love it!

Hey I finally have all of the Defender art up on my site.  I hope it works for everyone.  The bezel and marquee are extremely large since I used a real space jpeg.  If anyone wants to improve on them feel free!

Nope, not wallpaper, just plain old satin paint from Lowes.  I rolled on the lighter red first then went over it with a much darker red using a 4" brush to create a textured look.  

[Carsten Carlos]

Wow, thats really good work! Thank you so much!

Just forwarded it to a friend (the one with the selfbuild Defender-cab) - I'm really curious about his reaction!

BTW, the textured look of this room is really impressive. Maybe we should do the same with the arcade/partyroom...

No problem, glad to do it!  Although looking at your bezel I am now not so happy with what I made.  Definitely missing some stuff!  If you don't mind taking some closeup pics around the monitor I could make it little closer to the real thing?

How much work would it be to make a stencil version of your vector files?  I think that would be a nice alternative for someone who didn't want to have all those graphics printed out, and it would also add a nice authentic touch since the Defender artwork was painted on.  I imagine all that would need to be done would to be separate the the different color layers to individual files, and then have a common reference point so each color stencil would line up.

Like this Joust stencil, for example:  http://www.arcadecollecting.com/caga/sideart/JoustSideStencils.zip

Not much!  Got it done and posted.

What does it mean when it sayd the parser module cannot parse the file? That's the PS error I got when trying to open the stencils....

I'm an artwork noob.

He only had this little graphic here and pumped it up for printing, since no original bezel were available. His cab is a selfbuild one like mine - so no original parts there!

Today I'm his translator, so this message is meant to come from Houdini itself!

I don't know!  I just checked and they wouldn't work for me either.  I've redone them and now they work on mine so hopefully it is fixed.

Cool!  I'll try to rework it to make it look better.

Thanks!

Your work is incredible! Thank you so much!
