Rampart side artwork?

[Avrus]

I see the marquee available at various locations but a distinct lack of anything else.  Bezel, side art, front art.

Has anyone bothered to reproduce this in vector or know of any place that sells it?

I am not familiar with this game, is the sideart an illustration like the marquee?  It isn't flat colored artwork like classic games, probably because it is a 90's game and the styles changed...

Does anyone have the skills to reproduce the artwork from something like say this?

Flip the image, add the Atari logo and clean up the colors?

I had seen the image on klov, and I searched briefly on Google before I posted.  I was kind of hoping when I posted before that you had some larger sized images of this machine.  Do you?  That are straight on from the side?  At least 1000 x 1000 px?

I searched for hours and the links I posted are the best I can find.

This cabinet appears to be super rare for image resources.

If you are serious about getting this reproduced, I would start looking at VAPS to see who owns the game, and email them asking if they can take some straight on sideart images.  You will need them to reproduce the sideart.

An excellent suggestion, thanks.  I'll fire off a few emails and hope I have some willing participants.

Emailed all the VAPS members that have the game.  Only one responded saying he might be able to take pictures, and that was a week ago.

It sounds like I'm going to have to change artwork themes.

You have to keep on people sometimes. You can't be pushy, but you can follow up with them, generally people don't mind.  There was one piece of artwork that I wanted to trace and I could only find one collector with the game.  It took about a month and a half of follow up to finally get photos.  He gets a lot of requests, and didn't want to waste his time. Once he saw I was serious, he emails photos to me all the time of other projects.  (That, and once he saw the quality work I do.)

So, long story, keep on them.   Or offer some sort of trade.  Make a small offer to buy photos to pay for their time, or barter a skill or something if you are a computer savvy person.

Or, email me at rothecreations at gmail dot com with the user profile name.  I may know them and have a relationship with them already.

Appreciate the offer, but after a couple weeks of attempts and starting the build on the cabinet I've abandoned my attempts at Rampage artwork and am just going to have a friend who's an artist recreate something unique for me in Photoshop.
