Here is my second attempt at vectorizing arcade artwork.  It's a Simpsons 4 player Control Panel I found in the needs to be traced section of the Arcade Art Library.

After my first really bad attempt, I didn't want to upload it without finding out if it was of high enough quality to put in the library.  If not, please let me know what to fix.  The icons in the How To Play area were very pixelated and not very clear so I kind of winged it there...if anyone has a better source I will fix those and whatever else is not up to par.

Here are a couple of preview jpegs and a link to the actual adobe illustrator 11 file (should open in adobe acrobat also I think) (~1MB).

Also, each character is on its own layer so they can be used separately to make other artwork if desired.

As always any helpful hints are appreciated!

Considering BRARRAB32's original source file, I think its pretty much 100% correct.

Looks very nice to me....

Thanks for the positive feedback!  I uploaded the control panel to the control panel section and the characters by themselves to the character art section.  Hopefully someone will get some use out of it someday.

I look forward to adding to the library as I get time.
