Namco Galaxian Side Art
« on: October 10, 2013, 12:40:39 am »
I'm working on an homage to Galaxian bartop and I'd really like to use the Namco version of the artwork. I know vectorlib.free.fr contains PDF versions of high resolution images of the left and right side art; however, the left side art appears to be "chopped" and incomplete. (Unless I'm doing something wrong ... don't think so since the right side appears correct.)

The thumbnail appears correct on the webpage, but the download is incomplete.

Does anyone know where I could find the complete left side art for the Namco Galaxian version?

Good news.   ;D

Just saved the PDF and imported it into Inkscape.

The entire image is in the PDF file, but the PDF page size is smaller than the image -- causing the image to appear clipped when you use a PDF viewer.

Import it into your vector image editor and you should be good to go.   :cheers:

 :embarassed:

It felt like I was doing something wrong ... I was of course just pulling it up in Reader and trying to view it there ...!

I have some plebian-esque PhotoShop skills, but this will be my first foray into vector goodness et all.

Thanks, Scott, for sussing this one out for me!

Whew!
