Crazy Kong Sideart WIP

[ckong]

Some body parts of poor Pauline, ready to be vectorized, which will clean up all of the messy lines shown.















And the top part of her beautiful 80's dress!!

Digimon, did you buy it from Thorsten ?

[Digimon]

my cab with the sideart?
no I have it for three years (nearly), And it's the home for my Jump Bug


my other Crazy Kong Cab is near to factory new, but with starsplash from factory..

ah ok

Wow, vectorizing the CK art is consuming more time then I expected. But it's fun to do, and educational.   I was hoping to pick already done pieces here and there, but it turns out that I will vectorize almost every part of the art. Two exceptiona are the monkey and Mario. Etiènne did a great job on The Ape, I only had to add the pink belly spots. And Spinnhacker made a very nice vectorized Mario, I will only need to adjust the shoes a bit and one hand. Stuff that is finished:

- the uppert part of the art (stars and stripes)
- the lower part of the art (blocks, stars and stripes)
- the vertical yellow ornaments on the edges of the cab (and that I don't like)
- both barrels
- Pauline
- The stars and stripes below and around Pauline
- the ladders

Anyway, thanks to the original scan images from Etiènne I was able to restitch Pauline properly and redo her. This is Pauline in original condition:



And this is Pauline, digitally 'Remastered':



Pretty good. Don't mind the colors, they are not final yet.

Looks fantastic, great job!

Barrels finished (color needs still some adjustments)






Most is done:

Analog Mario:




Digital Mario, completely vectorized (now Mario really can grow and shrink as he pleases):




And the yellow 'art' stripes on the side are also a bunch of vector lines.

[ckong]

Thanks, Master!  

[ckong]

Almost done >

[Etienne MacGyver]

starting to come together ! sweet !

but....

i think you need to recolor the rest of the blue, or the ape, they don't look like the same blue and the Original was all the same blue..

in fact i think they only used 4 colors; Cyan, Magenta and Yellow (or variants of them) on a brown background.
oh and skin color for the belly, feet and mario and paulines skin and the inside of the barrels.

[ckong]

Yes, I know. I mentioned earlier that the colors are not final yet, I'm concentrating at vectorizing and placing first.

Did the griders. Artwork is now 100% vectorized. Colors are also better than before (color profiles and managing colors in AI, I don't like it). Need to add an extra margin of about 1 cm all around and then it should be ready for the printer. Now I can start working on the other side.
