@aioros:
Stealing files is a really sad thing and pitiful behavior and the reason why I would never put artwork from me on the internet which I don't want to be reproduced with a financial benefit (though you can't always avoid it, especially when you are part of a online community)...

That's a pitty. If I thought like you, you wouldn't have a copy of the Smash TV artworks

Putting the files on vectorlib means that everyone is going to be able to print them wherever and whenever they want. That's the main goal, preservation.

...
I think it won't be easy to get justice for a file where you don't really "own" the rights, after all the whole arcade artwork has been designed originally by other people so I don't think it's worth the try and go to a lawyer.

It's been never my intention . The rights are owned by the original artists who designed them more than twenty years ago, of course.

The Smash TV artworks are not the saint Graal, not even a hidden treasure or the Gollum's precious ring . These artworks are just an interpretation of the original ones (without halftone patterns and many other differences, as the dimensions of the side arts and the CPO that are not 100% accurate). If the original ones are badly damaged, maybe they are a good choice (if you doesn't bother about "fake" artworks )

I don't bother about people selling my work. I uploaded it knowing that this was going to happen.

You can say "Hey, I have a printing service where you can order any artwork from Vectorlib". That's absolutely fair. The only thing I can't stand is the "Mikonos way", I mean, people who claims to be the owner and designer of every piece of artwork he sells, arguing about how many hours he spent cleaning and tracing every line, when he knows it's not true. In other words, people who advertize artworks from Vectorlib, AFFA forum, Dragonslairfans and many others without mentioning the source of the files

I received some Smash TV arts today and I'm really satisfied. Communication was ace, shipping and packaging was ace too. I can't say something bad bout the prices too, I ended up paying 140 Euros incl. shipping for two really huge sidearts ( 100 x 200 cm each) and a monster of control panel. The quality is great too, very beautiful + sharp prints on thick vinyl. Highly recommended.

Btw: According to the tracking data it was shipped from TREVISO, Italy.

They're on ebay too:

, these artworks are mine

Guess I just had luck then. Maybe it's best to avoid him.

Well, I wouldn't say you were lucky.

The quality of the printings you have has an easy explanation. They took the Smash TV artworks I sent to Zorg last year and just printed it. As the files are freehand format, the printings they sent you are good enough.

A KLOV user warned me about they were selling my artworks. All I can say is that I feel relieved that you weren't cheated  .

Anyway, this kind of behaviour is disgusting  

Good job, Etienne

I think Zorg was looking for these ones back in 2008. Maybe he's still interested on them

Great !, another repro guy who is willing to share  ! thats great ! 

+1

thank you so much for sharing your work

where is the " sea " in your version Chris ? 

I wanted to let Paul surprise you with his restoration before making it available.
It's not like hundreds of people are waiting for this file 

Thanks Béla!

Oh, sorry!

I searched the Internet but I didn't find it, so I decided to do it taking the flyer you posted as a guide. As I'm vectorizing the control panel, I thought that doing the marquee would be interesting too 

Hi aioros,
Good work but I already did the marquee for Paul in October.
No need to do the job twice 

I only found this picture, so I can guess who printed the marquee. He wrote in his own forum that he had restored it himself, as usual

...and here is ChrisChris's artwork installed after printing





Thanks,

Paul.

Nice job chrischris, and looks great once installed there indeed    .

where is the " sea " in your version Chris ? 

 
His bezel was designed to show a new-moon night

Thank you chrischris for posting the flyer . It's just a recreation and the colours need to be corrected for sure, but it's a beginning 

I see. I've also searched the Internet, but I haven't found it for free neither

By the way, maybe you can tell me which one is this

I found this one:


It didn't match but was quite approximate. As you can see, some letters are very different, the "o" and the "b" for example. So in order to match as much as possible, I converted the whole text into paths and edited it. Not the best choice but it is an easy way to solve it
