I'm a little confused. Your nickname is Mikonos, so at first I assumed you're from Greece. I visited your forum and I think it's spanish?

Where are you from (so one can estimate the shipping cost)?



I might be interested in a Crystal Castle and a Dig Dug (Euro Version) CPO....could you PM details please?

In your home computer should not be blocked. Use a proxy too.

I´m not a store, I´m a fan. You can ask me for a repro without problem. Tell me size you need and kind of paper. See image below.

Of course it's not, but I'd like to see that awesome artwork while drining a coffe for example  ;)   Using a Proxy is not possible from here. The problem is some kind of firewall that blocks specific sites ;)

I see. I need a CPO for Crystal Castle and for Dig Dug. And maybe a "marquee" for Crystal Castle.

So what paper do you print on and how is the surface of controlpanel overlays? Is it rough, glossy, matt?
I'm sure that the people here (including me) would like to have more information and see some close shots from the surface.

Are you able to print artwork for bezels? I mean those that can be attached behind a glass (glue is on the printed side). The inside of the sticker (where you look through the glass) should already be cut out.

 :)

Post by: Mikonos on June 14, 2012, 12:30:14 PM
I understand! :( :)

I have all artworks of Crystal Castles with same color in all pieces. All are coherent! :)


I explicate you what is the best paper for print this piece:

- Crystal Castles Marquee. Original not was a backlite but a glass serigraphy. I recommend you choose backlite.
- Dig Dug and Crystal Castles CPO. The ideal is a rough lamination, but it is rare in my city. I´m asking for it. I´m wating to receipt news soon. I can print you in vinyl and you will laminate in rough in your city.
- Jorney Bezel:The very best perform to set one arcade bezel is in a sandwich glass. Standar bezel glass is about 5 mm (0.196850"). You must buy some  square of glass of 3 mm. and 2 mm.

Some bezel examples:
(http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/3468/tutorialmik2ze0.jpg)

Jorney can be printed in inverted vinil for sick in back side of bezel glass. See picture:
(http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/6273/tutorialmik5ei8in4.gif)

This is an example o real inverted vinyl for bezel of "Generic Tehkan design" for a Bomb Jack Cabinet:

I have been following your posts. Great work. I see you mentioned a bomb jack cabinet and I thought I would ask if you have or have ever thought or doing the artwork for what I call the original bomb jack marquee style.

Thanks for your reply.

I am pleased someone has done the side art as I have been after that as well for years. I have had a NOS cpo for years and 2 other NOS marquees of different versions of the artwork. Where are you based? as I would be more than happy to send you my marquee to help with reproducing it if you do not mind sharing the artwork files after. You can of course keep my old marquee afterwards as I would have no use for it.

Thanks and great work.

Thanks I sent you a PM.

Have you ever seen or found a picture of a dedicated bombjack cabinet?. Many people I speak to believe it was only ever available as a conversion kit which may explain why there are at least 3 different versions of the marquee that I know of.

I was planning on using a centuri (phoenix/time pilot) style cabinet and that is the only one I have seen pictures of. It is also as close as I can remember from the one I use to play back in 1984 and 1985. When I used to talk to David Haynes who had the bombjack.org site his bombjack was in a centuri style cabinet.

Thanks.

Just for the record: I've already ordered stuff from mikonos last year and he's a GREAT guy to deal with!
I'll post some pictures tomorrow (Juno First CPO, Crystal Castles kickplate, ...).
My 2 cents to the artist: find a printer who can silkscreen, finish the CPOs with that special "rough" lamination and precut your artworks and you'll be THE best around.
It's not a criticism at all, it's meant as an improvement.
See, your digital files are so perfect (and often hard to find) that they deserve the best printing treatment. :)

Hi, chrischris!

Yes, I´m working in to get rough lamination for control panels here, but it is rare. Today a store must be reply about it, but not. Tomorrow I try again with others.


Juno First and Crystal Castles Kick panel are very rare pieces, this is reason because I reproduced its.  :) Last year I restored Juno first bezel.

Hello,

Yes that is the cabinet that I always believed was for a dedicated Bombjack but when you examine all the other pictures of that cabinet it is actually a centuri (phoenix/timepilot/vanguard) cabinet. It actually shares the same bezel as centuri vanguard. It may be that tehkan actually used the centuri cabinet for their dedicated Bombjacks or that may a conversion. I have never been able to find out for definite but thinking back 27 years to when I last played Bombjack on a dedicated cabinet that is pretty close to how I remember it but I can not be certain.

looks a LOT cleaner than the other ones I have seen.

Only?

The improvements are very, very qualitative.  For example, the overfocused in the original was corrected. Grabage from this focused was wipe, fonts were redo, pixelation corrected and many others.

Your artwork is outstanding.....can't wait 'til you get the rough laminate and make the CPOs  ;)

I hesitate to have the artwork printed by you and then go somewhere else to have it laminated. Since this will be a "print shop", too they won't be too happy with the job  :-\

Hello David,

Great work with the bombjack marquees.

I am amazed how quick off the mark you are. I am delighted that the artwork for these marquees have now been restored and preserved and they look great. As far as I am aware you are the only person to have done so.

Thanks,

Yes, Muerto, Zaxxon sides was printed in adhesive vinyl and gloss lamination for a original arcade cabinet of Sega Zaxxon. It has the same height and width.


Let´s go with other restoration. 2 days ago I bought scans from a original "Alien Storm Marquee" in plexi. I finished it! :)

Wow Mikonos, I´m impressed. I´m not technical skilled and know very little of artwork creations and artwork restorations, but your work looks awesome.

I have a question, and I don´t want to step on anyone toes, but would you be able to reproduce the CPO for the European upright Centipede.

The European CPO is somewhat different from the US version, art wise and color wise. Some guys did serious attempts to reproduce it, but somehow it has come to a standstill.

You can read more about it here: https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=964.0

I need it so badly for my cab. And others are interested as well.

OK, I though that some parts of the artwork were not yet 100%. Thanks for informing me.  :) I know that Rich is/was working on the colors, and I tried to contact him a few times about it the last few months, but he doesn´t respond to it.

In fact I asked him to just sell me a CPO, I don´t care if the colors are somewhat off, everything is better than no CPO at all.

Weird that Rich doesn't respond, maybe you got caught in his spam filter ? This has happened to me with other US addresses I mailed too...for some reasons sometimes providers block European providers completely.

Try PM him on KLOV or maybe even here, think he has account here... not sure if he checks in often though....

I ordered mine from http://www.gameongrafix.com/ but it looks like he took down the file after someone complaining about it.........................next time maybe first get a perfect file and then start complaining.........

- I cleaned dust form scan one by one.
- I repainted some zones.
- I redid all background and stars. Now it is a perfect blur space background. It is very exact to the original.
- All texts have been redid.
- No blur effect over the main drawing.

It is the best I can do, although it was a very very bad scan.

Hey guys, I was at Rich's shop last week. The guy is super swamped. He's got tons of orders right now. Only 2 people run that place. Rich & his wife. He's working on a tall order for the CAX show coming at the end of this month. He's designing & printing multiple shirts for the show & trying to complete the online orders. I feel bad, the guy is doing all that he can alone. He'll get back to you. It maybe awhile, but he should get back to you.

I can tell you this! The art you get from him is dead on detailed. Most of it is silked screened. His shop is insane. I got a better feeling knowing how the art is created at his place. My personal opinion, I'll never buy from Game on graphix. And guys, remember. You don't rush art. Right?
Title: Re: DECLARTS - Arcade Artworks. By Mikonos
Post by: level42 on July 08, 2012, 09:51:28 PM
The problem is that the European market is very small to do a screened run of Centipede Irish color CPO's so Rich will (would?) probably do them in inkjet too, just like Gamegraphx. And consider "we" are already waiting for what 3 years or so ?

I can fully understand this is not on top of Rich's list because of this. Rich rocks, I've had a lot of e-mails going between us during the "finishing touches" of the Galaxian CPO. Would sure like to meet him one day.

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.

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.


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.

Wow awesome work man! :shock:
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? :)
Title: Re: DECLARTS - Arcade Artworks. By Mikonos
Post by: Mikonos on October 02, 2012, 03:23:45 PM
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. ;)

So it's a subtle blend of touch-up and vectorizing, cleverly choiced.
The result is breathtaking! 8)
I think i ll use you technic on my next resto, because "loads of dots matrix + vector = boring".
Thanks for the info. ;)

I guess it's because he's put a lot of effort in restoring the artwork. I fully understand. In USA there are several services like that. They restore the artwork and sell the prints.

Mikonos: go and find a suitable and decent print shop to do all your prints (including cardboard [the Zaccaria cardboard for example] , laminated CPOs and bezel artowkr printed on the glue side) !!
Europe is waiting for a service that can do the job and ship for small money (compared to the shipping costs from USA)!!!

GO!  NOW! :)

Hi guys!

REPROART Shop have  a very, very good quality but, it improved.  :) When I print After Burner Side arts, I will send it to DarthNuno. He will tell about the print artwork quality.  ;)

There are more than 300 artwork pieces printed in REPROART. There is not banding or other printed fails.

Hi  slowcade!

REPROART is the name of the print services created for Zona Arcade from a Madrid print shop. If you need some artwork pieces you can talk with me about.

This service is very cheap and have a very, very good quality.


In Zona Arcade I have another service for adapting of creating arcade artworks called DECLARTS. "Xevious Side Art Custom" and "Mame Marquee" you saw in my last post are from this service than I manage.

You can see this forum here: http://zonaarcade.forumcommunity.net/?f=5117211

Yes, Etienne. Besides this, I reinverted all text and main logo. It needed some intense clone below this too.

All around side arts needed clone for a die cut line.


I finished "After Burner Right Side Art" and all is prepared to print.  :)

Did you find a print shop that can make decent prints? Rough laminated controlpanel overlays, for example?

You should add a list what you can serve us with in your very first post. And maybe add some rough prices!

OR you should consider to sell your files so the people can have them printed in their preferred shops :)

Come one, it's was an awesome game, and very innovative one at the time : first 3d parallax arcade game.
It was the reason I bought my beloved CBS Colecovision.
You have no idea how many hours I dreamed before this double page ... and tried to convince my parents to buy the system!  :arrow:

is it exactly the size of the cabinet, or is there some overlap ?

if there is not, it will be hard to apply i think  :o

Just feel the need to share with the community my negative experience with MIKONOS from "Zona Arcade" ( http://www.zonaarcade.com )

Back in February 2012, got a private message from him. He explained me he wanted me to provide him my NOS After Burner II side art in order to scan it and create the artwork. He proposed me, after the vectorization of the side art to provide me a printed a set of reproduction, but also the digitalized file.

Well, at first time I wasn't really up for that. I didn't know him until there, and I'm not too confident to send stuff to someone I don't know so quick... but he finally convinced me (that deal and his word 'as a webmaster' to respect the deal), and the deal was done like that. It was after all, a win/win for both of us : for me, to own a free set of AB printed to apply on my cabinet, who badly needs them, for him the possibility to sell this long time sough-after set of side art and probably make lot of $$$. Those who owns an AB cabinet knows the side art problem on this cabinet.

So I provided him my NOS left side art, and he did a great job month later on that, no doubt about it : scan, then vector it, and finally create the right one.

I helped him to finish his work on the Zaxxon side art (an other sough-after one). He already vectorized it, but he didn't have the 'side art' shape/sizes, so I provided him what he needed to finish it. (see right here (https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=547.msg52302#msg52302)). Note that we didn't agree a deal for this 'Zaxxon' work. Once the job was done on his side, I had to pay him a 'solid' 167€ to receive my side arts printed...like every 'customer'. Expensive, but no complain on this because no 'agreement'...

Once we got my stuff (NOS AB side art + Zaxxon pattern), very hard to have him replies from my emails/private messages... sent him many mails to remind him the deal we done and now I'm expecting him he honors his word... but finally still have replies for him that things will come, be patient, blablabla...

I finally got the AB files. Nice, but I'm still expecting the set of side arts printed. And this is when the problem starts : He denies the deal?! I forwarded many mails/private messages where we talk about our agreement... real evidences, but he denies everything! He pretends it was a misunderstood or something, and also pretend that the deal is fair like that! I should already be happy with the digitalized file!
Sure I'm happy, but I'm also expecting the set of side arts printed. I recognize the amount of work he done for this, but ... come on, he didn't do this job only for me...He knows he'll make good money with that one...  :roll:

And I provided him again, again, and again print screen, replies, mail exchanges we've done during almost 1 years and half... but he still denied the evidence?! If the deal was unfair for him, damn it! Why the hell to complain when it's time to honor you part? At the end of each mail I'm sending him, I'm asking the same question : why don't you respect our initial deal now? No reply from him on this point... still pretending I should be happy with the files!

Because I'm a positive guy, I'm still trying to find an issue, and even proposed this : "Listen, I'm in the right to ask you all that stuff for free, because we agreed this. I can't figure out why you didn't understand it, because I wrote our deal details in almost every mails!
But I need the printed AB side art. To end this, I may accept to pay a veeeerry low price for them, if money is more important than keeping your word/reputation … but keep in mind this should be free for me! So?"
Guess what..."Bruno, this deal is is unfair and you know so well. I kept our deal so well. "  :ghost:

I'm tired to send him evidences, I'm tired to repeat him the same things, I'm tired to see him not responding to my questions. It's even not a matter of $$$, I just cannot accept when someone, especially in our arcade community, doesn't honor his word! I think I tried everything possible with him to find an issue, but he still deny...so because he's doing some business via his website/forum, I feel I have to related this.

All I'm saying here can be proved by emails exchanged between each other or private messages, and I won't hesitate to publish them if needed.
Those who knows me know I'm not a 'making troubles' guy, especially via forum but this story is just 'too much' for me!

Ok, it's not the end of the world for me  ;D I don't want to criticize him regarding his job quality or other things we done for other, but just to relate my negative experience with him...

Damn! Where to print my AB side arts now?  ::)

They send it straight out to Belgium, i used them for the banner from Chris, and the Eurocade banner also
some other projects i have printed there where the galaxian bezel, your babypac stickers for the car and the "Aart Galaxian record poster"
The DK sidearts from this topic also comes from them

https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=4281.0

Also send the files to Zorg for the vector lib, so anyone can have these for free and not need to "order" from mikonos.

same here: scanned the vindicators sideart (of which i was promised a free copy as well) AND the congo bongo sideart for him, NEVER got anthing in return and he's been ignoring email for a few months now!!! he's quick and fast in replying when he wants something, but extremely slow or even non-repsonsive when he has to give something. i've basically given up on getting anything from him and i would advice others not to buy from him. i've seen the printing quality he did on chris' juno first stuff and it's - well - not very good.

and one more thing: he does NOT vector his artwork!!!

Side note: Actually non vectorising is not a problem per se.
Often it gives results that are closer to the original art.
I had an interesting chat with Archer MacLean on that matter when we visited him and most of the times he's not vectorising his repros neither.
But that's not the subject of this discussion, isn't it...

Well, from one side art, I reproduced the other. I spent my money in scanning, a lot of work of restoring (moths) and, finally, reproduced the other side art with it. When I finished, I returned  the original and sent to you my original digital copies restored of After Burner Side Art for free.

In add, I completed your Zaxxon Side arts, other very, very good artwork than needed moths for reproducing. A very hard work! Printed Zaxxon artwork was beautiful and with the best print machine performance (16 slices inkjet), with latex ink and with especial protective lamination in gloss U.V.. The very best for my people all time!

All  my hours of restoration with After Burner and Zaxxon was a present for you, same I do for other people, because this is my passion.

I apologize is deal is not completed for you, but I think is  right and just. Ask to me for paying a print reproduction is more than enough.

Sorry again, but I assure you it was misunderstand in my comprehension than you want I will pay your reproduction too! I never committed with you than I will do that, but, in any case, If I realize that repro of After Burner would cost hours,  a lot of efforts and much money, I will never set that deal. Is the cheapest for me pay  someone for scan it and send  to me.

I think not all people can be pleased with me. You are an example. In future I try do better, I promise.

I sorry again with you!

SuperUlly, I restored for you and for free: Congo Bongo side arts and Vindicators Side Art. I never told with you, when I finished I will have to send my restored work. I send you the money estimation when you ask me for print, but you never want it at the end.

Ully,  you was so happy with the restoration, than wants I will  do a repro of "Firebird Side Art" from photos and I told you I will do it for free again. :)

Maybe,  if I beg money for all restoration... Well, I don´t Know how much cost one restoration hour? How many restoration hours are needed for complete one artwork? 10, 20, 30, 50 hours? For now, I did for free.

For ever, some people wants more and more, but, for ever, for free, no?

My skills, my restoration hours were a present for people than trust me his restorations. Ok, people like Superully or Bruno can task to other artist for restoring. Ully, you have your original scan, try with another, but maybe you will pay the restoration hours and printings. You balance it and decide. Maybe it will be the cheapest.

About artists, well, you know my work and I think is very, very good and very exhaustive, modestly. Maybe other are better than I. Try!

I have no problem in to print a sample for compare with other printingshop in inkjet technique. I´m  ready! Tell me! I will sent to you for compare. I will win, sure! :)

obviously, there is difference between silkscreen and inkjet.

I have no problem. I repeat, when you want. I could set a bigger photos in this post. I photo all I order to print for other collectors and users.

hey
i scanned both the vindicators AND the congo bongo sideart for you, provided you with measures when you needed them. did i ask for any money? NO!!! after all, it is you who is making money because of my scans which were the basis for your reproductions. in return, i asked you to work on the space firebird sideart, but after sending you what you needed, i wrote you a gazillion emails asking if / how work is coming along, but never ever received any answers. a simple "haven't had time yet" or something similar would have been ok, but you simly ignored all my emails. what do you want me to think then?

honestly, if i were you running a business of arcade reproduction artwork, i would send the guys who lend me their NOS artwork or who scan entire sideart files in for me a complete set of reproduction art FOR FREE, because without their help, you wouldn't have anything at all. but that's just my two cents!

nevertheless, i'd love to put this behind us and still be interested whether you are planning on working on that space firebird sideart or not ...

Mikonos, indeed you are doing a great job there!! You can believe me that some folks here knows how hard it is to do a good repro. Not even paint all the obstacles in difficult and detailed artwork but also to chose the right colours, etc.

BUT giving Bruno a free set of sidearts would have been the best promotion for your work!! Not only he would have spread the word about it,  he also runs (pays) this forum that you use to promote your artwork!!

No, Ully, No! You provided me  for I work  in restoration for you for free, because for free is the best business for all people, the magic word.  This is my business, do it for free because this is my big business.

I don´t know, we can do a account of all time and work I did for restoring all artwork of people than wrote in this thread for explain something bad about me. Do you want we do account of how much money you owe to me?

We will imagine than my restored work is cheaper, about €5  for hour. Very Cheap, true?

Superully:

VINDICATOR

- Vindicator Side Art Right: He sent one side art for restoration and repo de other digital side for his cabinet.  Vindicator side art takes me about 12 hours (it was an easy work). 12(h)x€5= €60. I did it for free

- Vindicator Side Art Left: Mirror image of the other side, changing some text. 30 minutes. I did it for free

- Vindicator side art for print: It need a die cut line, adobe illustration version, cloning edges. 1 hour. €5 I did it for free

Total: €66 with my cheaper rate. I did it for free

CONGO BONGO

- Congo Bongo Side Arr Right: I had to compose all scan, scans with different colors. It was a very complex work about 35 hours of restoration. 35(h)x€5= 175 € I did it for free

- Congo Bongo Side Art Left: All title  are different,logos and letter mirrored. I ask for sending me scan of tittle because background vegetation is different or changed.  Restoration work was about. 5 hours. 5(h)x€5=25€

- Congo Bongo Side for print: Die cut line and clonig edges for oversaw in illustration version. 1 hour. €5 I did it for free

Total: €205 I did it for free

FIREBIRD

- Reproducing Nintendo Firebird Side arts. I only have internet fotos and a flyer. Estimated time to repro for sides about 40 hours. 40(h)x€5= 200 € I will do it for free

- Firebird Side for printed: Die cut line and clonig edges for oversaw in illustration version. 1 hour. €5 I will do it for free


Total: €205  I did it for free


ALL THEORETICAL TOTAL: 476€


My business: 0€ gained! I did it for free

Is the end of the rookie for some people. I´m not telling you than I will not do Firebird Side arts or other artworks for Ully or Bruno, because I want all artworks than I haven´t, even if I have to restore it first, but these will be the condition:

- I will not do it for free, this is the end for you

- I will not to send digital files when I finished. I will send printed artwork paid before I start to work in.


I will restore for other people for free, of course, because for me is a pleasure/entertainment. Sending any restored artwork from me is finished, with Bruno was the last case.


There is no an artists than works for free (I´m the only one stupid enough), there is not artist for hire than send his restored digital copies to the costumer.


There are a few (?) artist so exhaustive than I, look for it! I´m sure of this reality.

Man... you are doing yourself no favour with your postings. As far as I can see Ully and Bruno are just asking for something that that was part of their deal with you. I know both of them, not only from here but from real life and I must say that I trust those guys 1000 percent because of the business I made with both in the past. They keep their word, they treated me incredibly nice and they never asked for something that was not part of the deal. Never ever.

If there is indeed some part of the deal that is still missing... go and take care of it. Otherwise the word will spread.

Actually, you didnt do it for free:
1. You asked for the pieces to be scanned.
2. You received the files, fixed them etc. so they could be used for printing.
3. You returned the fixed file to the costumer (Ully and Bruno, so they them selves could pay for printing)
4. Now you ask them to pay for the printed art you made. (Even when you agreed on something different)
5. Now you can make money on it, because now you had the art FOR FREE

To cut it out in cardboard:
You would NOT have made any money on the After Burner II Side Art in the first place, if Bruno havent send you the file!!!!

@david: are you REALLY serious about this?

as michael just wrote, it is YOU who should be paying us (or as i've suggested at least send us a free print of the artwork), because without our help (measures, scans etc) you would have NOTHING at all in your hands and couldn't make any money at all with your artwork restorations.

They can send to other artist, no? Maybe he will do a better work than I. All is possible. Then, maybe he could send the fixes scans or vertorized version to them back.  :)  It is not my problem now.

Note: When I finished Vindicator sides, Ully asked for me for Congo Bongo Sides, when I finished CB, it he asked again for Firebird Side Arts. Wow, very good for a man than breaks deal, no? ;)

4. Now you ask them to pay for the printed art you made

When I print Zaxxon Sides for Bruno, he rejected the money estimation for After Burner Side arts. He didn´t tell anymore  about it because he knew than I will send to him my AB digital artworks fixed. This is the true and this was the deal!

Now, some moths latter, He wants print Side Arts of After Burner paid from my pocket. Why? Easy, he saw I showed AB Sides in other pages. When he saw than his threats not works with me (he told me than he will wreck my reputation), he started.

... And, when did Bruno post in first place? In the same site when I posted the restoration finished of After Burner Side Arts out of Dragon´s Lair fan Forum! ;)


Think about it! There are no coincidences!


This history was complexing, no?

Like Sjaak said you just killed your own market Mikonos.

This is a small market, people know eachother, reputations, good or bad, are quickly spread through the collecting community, especially in Europe.

Bruno, Ully and Chris are very well known and trusted members here. If you screw them, sooner or later that will backfire on you....

It is very sad to see it go this way, but I know all these guys in person and know they wouldn't put out bad press without a reason.

Mikonos, I still cannot believe you deny everything!  :shock: You force me to publish this to end this shit  :arrow:

1. "Our deal" :

(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum3/mikonos_1.jpg)

2. "our agreement" :

(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum3/mikonos_2.jpg)

3. One of my friendly reminder... which I literally wrote on every of my mails to you :

(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum3/mikonos_3.jpg)

4. You still seems to understand English (and our deal) here :

(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum3/mikonos_4.jpg)

...and after that mail... no more!  you start to deny!  ::) I don't really know what you can to add to this...

Oh, in case you would like to speak about Zaxxon for some reason I don't understand, let me copy what I already said ...

I helped him to finish his work on the Zaxxon side art (an other sough-after one). He already vectorized it, but he didn't have the 'side art' shape/sizes, so I provided him what he needed to finish it. (see right here (https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=547.msg52302#msg52302)). Note that we didn't agree a deal for this 'Zaxxon' work. Once the job was done on his side, I had to pay him a 'solid' 167€ to receive my side arts printed...like every 'customer'. Expensive, but no complain on this because no 'agreement'...

See, I also worked for you! ... it even cost me €€€ to DHL all that stuff for you!  ::)

Now, if you still need to say something, go ahead... but it's clear you won't be welcome here anymore soon...I lost too much time on that story!

I´m not screwing, I told you the true, and the real deal. I have no problem with Chris, He and me are in peace. With Ully, don´t know why said than the he wants my digital fixed files just now, I think it was for support Bruno.

Bruno and Ully (and other) expected I was a nerd, but no. Sorry! but I gave my hand and someone will take my arm. (this is a phase from my country).


I can be a good or a bad person, but my reputation like artist is out of this discussion. I bid a very valuable thing, my skills for free. It is very rare nowadays.


Of course, If someone wants to do business with my work, for that I do. Tell you: balance to hire a a good artist for restored your work an then print it. Maybe is cheapest than I. who Knows?
