NO WAY! I'm not sharing!!

Just kidding.

That's amazing. Kinda sucks though, i would have rather vectorized his side art.

I'm excited about posting my first vectorization to the library!

Can anyone help with this? I don't know how to make the white explosion in the middle of the pictures. It's just a bunch of dots. what's the easiest way to accomplish this look?

Thanks
Allroy

I'm affraid you will have to trace a "bunch of dots"

Yup, I agree with Zorg.

Just saw this thread. Too sweet. I just picked up a (not working) R.B. upright with no sideart. If I get it going, guess what'll end up on the sides?

(I need a marquee, too, if anybody happens to have a good one sitting around. Mine's faded.)

allroy1975 · « **Reply #45 on:** July 18, 2005, 09:32:45 am »

I can scan mine, it looks pretty good, and I've gotta take it off to change the light anyway.

I don't know if you wanna vectorize that...maybe I will. Getting a little burned out on the RB thing though.

The color fades look great. But the bottom right corner loks a little off. Is something missing?

allroy1975 · « **Reply #47 on:** July 18, 2005, 01:35:29 pm »

yeah, SMOKE!

I can't draw for anything though, so I can't make some new good looking smoke lines..

I played a Roadblasters sitdown a few weeks ago... it's cool, has a fresnel lens in the screen so the screen looks really big, even in the narrow cockpit.

Kremmit · « **Reply #49 on:** July 19, 2005, 12:03:04 am »

I've never seen a RB cockpit- didn't know about the fresnel lens. I always loved the effect the fresnel gave MACH 3 in the cockpit I played it in- especially the way it blurred around the outside edge of the screen if you moved your head the wrong way. Somehow made it seem more real, though I don't know why that should be.

Allroy- would be dope if you did the marquee. The library needs a full art package for this game. (and I need the marquee!)

ha! You guys thought I'd quit!

Nope...just kinda lost interest for a little bit.

Here's what I've got. I'd apprecaite comments as this is just about done. Almost how I'm going to send it off to the printers.

From what I can tell from the low quality images that appear in these forums, it looks great. I'd be happy with it, if I were you.

allroy1975 · « **Reply #52 on:** August 01, 2005, 03:50:07 am »

Okay, touched up a few things..faked a few things (like all those tiny dots. I just couldn't do it..so I made the desired effect with Radial white to black fade) and I think I'm happy with it.

I'm sending it to the printers today.

Hopefully I'll have the artwork installed by the end of the week and can have posted pics.

Thanks Stingray!

When I looked closely at the condition of my marquee, it was obvious that this needed to be done. It's been scanned, stiched and the vectorization has begun.

well holy crap. I don't like to brag but I think the marquee is beautiful. as for you guys who gave advise on how to make all those little dots, I really apprecaite the advice and still have way more respect for you than I do for the average joe, but I went in a different direction. I went ahead with fades and accomplished virtually the same thing. Granted up close they look different, I think mine looks BETTER than the original.

Maybe not on the side art, although I think it looks good, this marquee is AMAZING.

However, I do have a few color questions. My marquee is a POS. it's got colors faded and burned, and I can't tell a few things. the top of the marquee (pinched between the wood of the cab and the metal of the marquee retainer) is clearly a different shade of blue than the rest of the sky. So I went with that blue for the whole sky. now..in the middle there's an exlopsion (like on the side art) and it's got lines coming out of it (like on the side art) but I can't tell if the stuff that LOOKS like it SHOULD be white actually fades to yellow closer to the explosion. If anyone has some idea and can confirm that this should or should NOT have fades in it. As it is, everything is pristine white. I think it looks DAMN good.

So..without further ado...

Not bad, eh? of course these are shrunk down by the board. Download them and check them out.

in contrast here's what I started with:

If only I could get over that damn learning curve in illustrator!

I'd be spitting stuff out like this left and right. That looks really good...So what's your next artwork project?

allroy1975 · « **Reply #56 on:** August 07, 2005, 01:34:58 am »

I just started doing a Pac-Man T-shirt....I wanna put it on my Spare tire cover on the back of my car....I just hope the guy doing my printing can do something like that....either way it's going in the vector library. It's that goofy shot of him giving a thumbs up.

I think I might even be getting better at AI!

Allroy

Edit....this was it...Easy.....

allroy1975 · « **Reply #57 on:** August 07, 2005, 02:59:15 am »

so then next I think I'm gonna do some pinball side art.

Kremmit · « **Reply #58 on:** August 08, 2005, 04:48:35 pm »

Sweet! Thanks, man!

Minwah · « **Reply #59 on:** August 15, 2005, 06:04:50 am »

Allroy: Great stuff, are you gonna submit to the arcade art library?? I might be tempted to grab the marquee image for a spare for my System1 inspired cab...

Oh, and nice Pacman t-shirt, I've got one of them
