Is it possible to make this into a side art, and who or what would i go through to do it.

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

If you can find a higher resolution version. That won't blow up all that well.

... and with all the gradients, that would be difficult to vectorize.

I like the idea :cheers:
As far as using this as side art, you would have to vectorize it. If you want it to come out really good, I recommend finding a print of this and having it scanned at a very high resolution. That background, as HarumaN posted, is going to be difficult to vectorize along with the Godzilla. You will need to separate the image into 2 parts in photoshop and vector your background and Godzilla separately.

Here is a very rough pass in illustrator.

Hello again.
Got bored and came up with a new idea while I was watching tv tonight. The characters behind the text is Godzilla in Japanese:-)

I was going to suggest the Japanese spelling on Gojira. Good work.
