Title: Can someone with too much time vectorise this?
Post by: Twin-X on May 29, 2008, 04:22:48 am

I really like this image and would look great on arcades. (kick plate?)
But i figure vectorizing this would takes ages.

i uploaded it to my website

Funny...I guessed the picture before I even saw it.

This is very tempting to me. If someone got permission from the author, I'd like to try it out. Or collaborate with others on the forum.

I have no idea who the author is. I believe it's the promotianl poster from nintendo to promote the virtual console or something.

Oh okay, I saw this awhile ago and was under the impression it was fan art. Do you have it in a larger size?

That's the largest size I've seen that in.

The author is Keith Web from gamepuased.net.

It was a promotional drawing for virtual console.
I will see if i am able to find his adress. Will be diffcult i guess.

I just ran that artwork through VECTORMAGIC and it came out pretty damn good...but I am not an artist and I am sure 99% of the "artists" here will scoff at the results.

I post my results here but the file limit is too low.

EDIT:  I just lowered the res a little and posted the raster version on photobucket...
While not perfect,  I think it's certainly good enough for a kick-panel.

I ran it through vectormagic and damn, you're right. It's perfect for a kickplate or marquee. That'll save me a lot of work :applaud: 

I think what I'm going to do then is take a few elements of the picture and trace them by hand, and maybe use them in a control panel or side art design or something.
