 It is here:
 https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=2958.135
 Thanks in advance. ;)
- 
				Lets see, it has been a long time i vectored something, maybe i can start illustrator...  ;)
 
 I have for my crazy kong the following dimentions ; 60 x 17,8 cm.  i guess thats the same for eyes since its the same cabinet ?
 
 not the bended version right ?
- 
				Little work done..
			
- 
				Wow Etienne, you're very fast...again  :spaceace:
			
- 
				hehe, the "eyes"  will stay raster this time  ;D
 
 now a little more..
 
 whats the best to recreate the 8 bits figures ?  indeed, block for block..  ::)
 
 
- 
				Can't you replace those scary eyes with Zita's ? I'm sure Béla would like it  ;D ;D ;D
			
- 
				hehe, could be cool indeed  :)
 
 8bit eye ready ..
 
 
- 
				Thanks Etienne, you were really fast, that 8 bit Eye looks great. :spaceace:
 Can't you replace those scary eyes with Zita's ? I'm sure Béla would like it  ;D ;D ;D
 
 Lol, I can make some close hi res pics if Etienne wants to try it. ;D
- 
				sure, ill create 2 versions if you like  ;D
			
- 
				sure, ill create 2 versions if you like  ;D
 
 That would be awesome, maybe we should keep the original eye on one side and paste Zita's to the other. ;D
- 
				Make one eye open, the other closed as if she's giving a wink ;);););)
			
- 
				send me those shots, and i'll see what i can do with it 
 
 made the dotted bar today:
 
- 
				And placed them in the WIP file  8)
 
 
- 
				Almost done  ;)
			
- 
				Nice to see the whole process. :spaceace:
			
- 
				Time for the other 8bit eye  ::)
			
- 
				i am in doubt guys..
 
 I just looked good at the background lines (purple and yellow) :

 as you can see they used translucent inks because the crosspoint is red looking ..
 
 am i too anal if i do this ?:
 
 (http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/eyes/mix2.jpg)
 
 folowed by cutting out the "non crossing" parts, and color that star red ?
 
 (http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/eyes/mix3.jpg)
 
 thats a lot of crosses right there....  :?  any advice or opinion ?
 
- 
				Ok, i have decided, i will leave the red out for now, its afterall only a 3x3 cm eyeball   ::)
 
 Lines done, time for the letters  ;)
- 
				good choice, etienne, noone would notice anyway!
			
- 
				Thanks , well you know me , "Mr Anal"   ;D
 
 anyway, Its Manufactured under TECHSTAR license  :D
 
 
- 
				I like that eye !  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
 
 That sure makes the game/marquee a lot more friendly and attractive  ;D ;D
 
 Now you have to "dot" it to make it more in the style of the original :P
- 
				oh no, I can smell Mikonos....  ;) ;D
 
 
- 
				Very sharp Thorsten, and the first person to notice that little detail.
 
 I did that on purpose and was wondering when someone would notice this reference ;D
 
 same as the eye, I just put that in and don't mention that, but Andre spotted that immediately  :D
- 
				
 Now you have to "dot" it to make it more in the style of the original :P

				Looks kickass, I didnt tell to Zita why I made pics from her eyes, I'm really curious if she will spot it. ;D

 Well done to the artists !!!
 
 All of a sudden Eyes became such a friendly game :):):)

				Finally the marquee is ready. :D
 We started from here:
 (https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-RroECy_OceA/UzhXtt59amI/AAAAAAAAIgk/TaVvMD_-K_Q/s720/eyes%2520001.jpg)
 When I removed the generic marquee I realized, that there is no tube behind it. ???
 (https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-P5AmgDW-qd0/UzhXtkjZhII/AAAAAAAAIgU/YVuwpn0mfrU/s720/eyes%2520003.jpg)
 Fortunately I have some of these universal types, installed one in a few minutes. :D

 Thanks to Etienne, Aioros for vectorizing and to Chris for making these beautiful Eyes, you guys rock! :spaceace:
 By the way, the minimum quantiy for printing was 1m2, so I have 6 more copies of this, if anybody want one for decortion, it is up for grabs for free. ;)
- 
				Wah, LOL, yeah one for me please, I want it signed please  ;D
			
- 
				So these are Zita's eyes on the marquee?
 
 We would also take one for our row of marquees so she can watch us having parties if you cannot be with us ;)
- 
				Ahh, I forgot to send my thanks to André for the great idea. :D
 2 signed copies are reserved for Luigi and André. ;)
- 
				Eye love it!  ::)
			
- 
				I think i would also like a signed one  ;)  :spaceace:

 Could you also do me a favor and scan that bezel ?
 
 That artwork just rocks !, its so awesome !!
 
 By the way, what was Zita's reaction when she saw that custom marquee ?
