Great job so far! I'm sure the After Burner repro will make a lot of AB owners very happy. On most of AB upright I've seen, the side art was missing or damaged! Keep the good work on this my friend!   

[Mikonos]

Don´t worry! It will be perfect at the end.

Hell Yeah!

funny you did not talk about the Galaxian Namco side art
http://zonaarcade.forumcommunity.net/?t=51982662

about the bezel, panel and marquee (you forgot the kickplate) just do like you did for the side art. http://vectorlib.free.fr/Galaxian_Namco/index.html

this is the kind of free artwork uses that stopped some fellow tracer to share their own work..... 

[Mikonos]

Hi Zorg!

Yes, Sides of "Namco Galaxian Version" is based in "Bertlino Italy" from Vector Lib

Kick panel needs to draw right legs. I will do soon.

Bezel and cpo needs to change control labels, colors and a new Namco instruction in left side. I have it. I will do soon too.


Now, I´m working in Cosmic Alien Bezel, Marquee and CPO ("INDER" version). It´s my priority. I work in others artworks at the same time. For example, After Burner Side above.

I´m not sharing any classic artworks in Zona Arcade, Zorg. I will never share artworks than I´m not owner. I´m only sharing original artworks from me and my users in this Free gallery. Please, check I tell you:

http://zonaarcade.forumcommunity.net/?t=45266890

Mr. Do Artworks are sharing my last arcade classic artwork restorations. In his home page you will see my last contributions.

You can get it for free.

while using and improving artwork from free sharing artwork, why don't you give back the improvement ? I'll be more than happy to host the enhanced//corrected//accurate artwork.
Jeannot Krenn that traced the side art from scan I provided shared his hard work with the comunity. help us improve the artwork.

share the improvement you've made what's bad with that ? do you really think that namco galaxian owners are so numerous you will loose money offering the artwork.

we don't share the same point of view you and me.

I traced and provided for free atwork in order for people (including me) to have some pieces to restore their cabs, you do a great job in order to earn money (that fine for me) but what's annoy me the most with you and other reproers, is this lack of sharing, and the loss of valuable work.

just think a minute about that : having the file is something usefull but not enough, having it printed is not so easy, having it printed with good color calibration is better. so in my case (i'm sure most of the people over the forum share it) I will rely on people like you to have it printed. so loosing money is not an option in this case.

Zorg, you are wrong with me, I´m not  a store and I´m not working in a print store.

I´m sending artworks to Mr. Do Artworks today, but, tomorrow, I would send to your web. I did/do (there are 4 new pieces from me for next update) and will do many contributions to Mr. Do artworks for arcade community.

What is my point of view about this hobby?, is different from you?, you think? (is a rhetoric question).


I think, Zorg, than one important administrator, like you, cannot let to use by yourself words like "funny". Please, don´t use irony with me. I think respect is the most important.


I´m not annoying, I promise to you, but, when someone speak about something, is better to collect all information.


Please, could we put the end point to this?

I commented I´m working In  "Cosmic Alien" artworks from UNIVERSAL. Well, one thing I redo was Universal logo. This "Universal Logo" is wrong in all arcade artwork sites (it was based in a similar font). I vectorized it, there was no alternative. (I hate to do  font vectorizations).

Vectorized "Universal arcade logo" and comparative. By Mikonos.


Zorg this is my first contribution to your site, if you want. Put in description: "Original Universal Arcade Logo vectorized by Mikonos from Zona Arcade: Construye, Restaura y Decora tu Máquina Arcade y Pinball."

File "Universal logo vectorized in Adobe Illustrator format" (ai): http://www.mediafire.com/?rxow8fns2l0f1cx

No interested on Universal Arcade Logo, Zorg? Ok!

Well, before 50 hours I finished "After Burner Left Side Art". Now it is perfect! It is ready for print with die cut.

Now, I´m working in right Side Art.

Wow awesome work man!
I dont get it, how do you do those restoration only with photoshop?
I always though that vectorizing the whole thing was the dope.
Can you tell us a bit about you technic?

[Mikonos]

Thanks so much, eurotronic!

For this artwork I reproduced two dot patter matrix (blue-sky, and purple-fuselage). I repaid all clear blue, red and yellow for homogeneous results (better than original). For black color, I repaid many lines with vector lines of color. To finished with this color, I used one layer overlay effect. Of course, I used clone tool for reparing all dusty and scratches. To finish it I adjusted colors. 

Note: In some parts I improved original, in others I redid imperfections.


Regards

[eurotronic]

So it's a subtle blend of touch-up and vectorizing, cleverly choiced.
The result is breathtaking!
I think i ll use you technic on my next resto, because "loads of dots matrix + vector = boring".
Thanks for the info.

Note: In some parts I improved original, in others I redid imperfections.

Héhé.. Always a cornelian dilemma.
