Thanks for that post about the MK side art. I ended up sniping it off ebay for $2.25 + shipping. Give me a bit and I'll get a scan for ya:-) It not the same but as he said it does have johnny cage, which is awesome.

I've been looking for this side art its the only one I'm missing besides the MK4 one can't wait to see it finished also I saw a video of mameman's MK1 machine on youtube it has yellow instead of red on cages pants is it yellow on the orginal artwork

I would love to see this finished, it looks really damn good.

A couple of weeks ago I promised someone that I'd scan the sides of my MK1 cabinet with the original Johnny art, but the cabinet is still trapped in my shed behind several other old cabs. I have no room to get it out or lay it down. Looks like I'm going to have to finish my neo-geo mame cab first and get it out of the shed to make room.

Sorry to frustrate you guys, but I'm on it and working as hard as I can ....

no need to lay the cab down

PS I found most scanner does better job in this configuration thant when they are used tp-down.

Yeah, I could use some of that (time). Also, I don't have as much space as the guy on that website you directed me to. i still need to make room in the shed. Anyway, better go and do that rather than twaddling ...

Just seeing if there has been any progress, Im also watching the thread closely.

Happy Holidays!

Hey I've been trying to upload this to LocalArcade with no success.

http://rapidshare.com/files/152352394/Mortal_Kombat_Vector.ai.html

Can someone please upload it for the rest of the community?

I don't have time to finish this project, so I'm hoping someone with 'talent' can finish it off!

I´m a Photoshoper! Got your vector.. Great job!

If you send me the original picture with Johnny Cage in high resolution so I will do some progress.
I´m not afraid about

, I´m south american, so here there´s a lot of piracy to Midway fire before and insted a simple unseen MK side art... I would say: "a homage" to be honest.

Yes, also I´m new here, as I´m working in a MK cabinet, this topic got my attention.
I´m looking for a reply or a personal message from someone able to help in this dedicated sideart.

Anyway LoL... I´ve seen in the end of the topic. The link where there´s a guy scanning.
so it´s just someone with that sideart work on it. Would be killer!

Not finished yet - it'll take a little longer, but will let you know. My cab with the johnny cage art is still buried in my shed, but it will be coming out soon as I am now working on restoring all four of my MK cabs.

I'm currently preparing completely new control panels for my four MK cabs, with original art but 6 buttons - an extra button will be above the block button, to make two streetfighter-style "arcs" of three buttons each. Two of the cabs now have monitors - I decased a 63cm Grundig TV and a 60cm Loewe TV and mounted them as montors (input via RGB SCART), both in excellent condition. I already have a monitor lined up for the third one, but can't access the monitor bay yet to work on it (space in my shed is TIGHT).

Sooooo ..... sideart is coming soon. The summer heatwave is over now, so I am actually able to get into my shed now without cooking alive. A fair bit of re-arranging my stuff and I might be able to get it out.

Always good to have more refrence's for this... I am not sure if I have photoshop installed on my new computer if not I would have a go at this...

KombatMame · « **Reply #56 on:** May 05, 2009, 05:09:16 am »

hi guys,

any news on this project?

Gatsu · « **Reply #57 on:** May 05, 2009, 05:38:56 pm »

I'm downloaded a PSD someone made of the MK1 poster. If the Johnny Cage pic is good enough, all that'll need to be done then is finish the dragon.

So its close to being done.

UPDATE:
---------------
yeesh....its pretty gnarly. I'm taking the Johnny Cage image from the reference photo and see if I can tweak it some. Because I blew it up to the dimensions of the cabinet and it wasn't that badly pixelated. A little cleanup and it might be proper.

Hard part will be finishing the dragon.

Gatsu · « **Reply #58 on:** May 05, 2009, 11:25:45 pm »

But don't let what Im doing stop someone whose got the side art and is scanning it.

I'd much rather clean up some scans then repaint the rest of the dragon. hehe

Zebidee · « **Reply #59 on:** May 06, 2009, 04:55:03 am »

I got my MK1 cab out into the sun and got about 12 good photos, both sides.

Here are a couple of samples. The artwork is a bit ripped up, but the photos are good quality and you should be able to make up any gaps from the image on the other side.

If someone can tidy them up and let me have a copy of the finished product, then I am happy to email the high-res originals (3312X4416) for them to work on.

Tarman · « **Reply #60 on:** May 06, 2009, 09:36:34 am »

WOW! Is that the mysterious LAI cabinet? I have never seen that before! WOW! I still ned to break out my scanner and get to work on scanning my cab for you guys. When the UMK3 restoration is done I'll get on it!

Hmm... the art is wrong on this one, see how the dragon doesn't extend to the bottom of the cabinet?

Zebidee · « **Reply #62 on:** May 06, 2009, 10:08:14 am »

Yeah, I hadn't really noticed before. The print is smaller.

However, the difference is just in sizing the picture - the art is all there (well, mostly) so it should still be useful

Gatsu · « **Reply #63 on:** May 06, 2009, 11:57:51 am »

anything not there can be replicated easily I think.

So if you wanna send them to me I can start cleaning them up. Once Im done then the community can have at them for sure.

I just need the dimensions for the side panel for that particular cab so I can draw it up in Photoshop to match the size.

I'll PM you my email address Zebidee.

Hey - so now that I have a MK1 machine it is time to finish this project.
My MK machine looks pretty empty without it. I do not like the other one available all over online.
Any one ever design any custom designs?

KombatMame · « **Reply #70 on:** September 10, 2009, 08:24:32 am »

*push*

How's cage going on, gatsu?

Zebidee · « **Reply #71 on:** September 10, 2009, 05:24:31 pm »

I gave the MK1 sideart files to Gatsu a Looooooong time ago, but I haven't heard a peep out of him since.

Gatsu · « **Reply #72 on:** September 12, 2009, 11:31:31 am »

sorry guys.

I haven't honestly had a chance to work on it. I've got a template setup if anyone wants to take it over though.

Just let me know.

Necroticart · « **Reply #73 on:** September 13, 2009, 02:31:19 am »

Gatsu send over the files i'll see if I can finish it out

xrodney · « **Reply #74 on:** September 22, 2009, 06:55:32 am »

Necroticart · « **Reply #75 on:** September 22, 2009, 08:49:46 am »

I'm waiting on Gatsu to send me the files once I get them I'll finish the sideart and post it up

warmeister · « **Reply #76 on:** September 28, 2009, 03:20:53 pm »

How's it coming, Necroticart?

Necroticart · « **Reply #77 on:** September 28, 2009, 09:21:29 pm »

good but this is going to take awhile to finish I'll post more as soon as I get something more significant finished also any hi res pics of cage of even better a scan would help out

CadeFreak · « **Reply #78 on:** October 05, 2009, 12:11:34 pm »

This artwork and what you guys are doing is probably why I'm going to build a Mortal Kombat Cab. Reallying looking forward to progress on this side art! I wish i had the knowledge to be able to do this kind of stuff then maybe i could offer to help out!! It would be totally cool if the guy at Mame marquees could print this Mortal Kombat side art sometime soon!

Necroticart · « **Reply #79 on:** October 05, 2009, 04:12:49 pm »

well after going to to this as a raster in photoshop and ending up with a gig and a half file I had to switch to illustator to do vectorize cage I'm going to attempt to do the whole image as a vector graphic and Gatsu thanks for the file even though I ended up not using it.
