Sorry, there is a mistake in the picture, it is not the Karate Champ (I decided against it as it had to less roundings) but its a generic cab I own and want to convert to home-dedicated Exerion.
I have a dream....that one day....all members of forum are the same....no matter how long ago they have joined, how many games they own or how many posts they wrote ;)

Nope, Etiènne sold his CK cab to me last year and I asked him earlier this week if it is OK that I will try to finish his side art project. He OK'ed it and I received all WIP art files yesterday. So expect updates in the coming months, but I first have to see where we are standing.

Yup, i dont have the time myself, and i believe spinnhacker did all the vector work also, so it will be a matter of placing the parts in the correct scale ands so on, and fix some little mistakes, (not saying its bad Giulio !, its excellent work) but the black border is not there, its paint on Luigi's cabinet that i scanned..
also the yellow ornaments in that border are half covered by the black paint.

for the rest its great !

When you need help in Illustrator, let me know Erik, i am not familiar with corel.

When you need help in Illustrator, let me know Erik, i am not familiar with corel.

Thanks Etiènne, but not necessary I think. I use AI for the basic stuff, like scaling Giulio's file, grouping all the 2000+ separate vectors in logical parts (ckong, pauline, stairs, top barrel etc.). But because I'm far more familiair with CorelDraw, which handles vecors also (called curves), all other work will be done in that program.

Indees, Giulio's vector file is already awesome, but there are some smaller and larger 'issues'. For instance the top barrel needs some attention, there are some 'motion stripes' missing. Biggest work will be the griders with the halftoning part, they just don't look right in the vector file. On the other hand, the stitched scan file is also not 'perfect' (and my endresult will also have flaws  :) )

So far I scaled the art, got rid of the black border, exchanged Giulio's ckong with Etiènne's ckong.

BTW, Etènne, I don't think that the vertical yellow ornaments go further on the black border, on some parts on the left side of the cabinet the black paint was missing and there is not any sign of yellow piece ornaments under it. Anyway, I will 'do' the yellow ornaments, but I will leave them out in my printfile when I'm ready to let the art print (Joeks?), I think that they are ugly and very distracting from the otherwise beautiful art. Why Zacc's artist did put hem there, I don't know?

I will post some pictures later.

Spot the 10 differences!  (Top picture is Spinnhacker's vectorized artfile after rescaling, the bottom picture is my WIP, with usage of Spinnhacker's file and Etiènne's art en scans). The winner gets .......  ;D







So, a bit progress is made. Still some flaws in this section, for instance the right (pink coloured) side of the barrel.

That would be very nice. I can always use some highres good quality pictures with good non-reflecting light.  :) Only one side of the cab needed. I will PM you my e-mail address.

Digimon, thanks for the great pictures that you made for me, they are top notch and they catch some very nice details that I will use for sure (yes, the ugly vertical yellow ornaments are a 'single line').Equally good pictures of the bottom part would be great.  ;D ;D ;D

I do have a few questions:

Pauline's hear looks both greenish and yellow. Is it a mix of two colors?

The dark color in the head of CK (face, forehead and mouth, is it black or is it the background color >>



All the dark color in the fur of CK, black or background color? >>



Thanks again mate.

the hair has the same color as the stars (a touch of lemongreen), there are only three objects with real yellow:
the two wood of the two barrels
the middle of the flow underneath the stars below of Pauline

The dark color in the head of CK (face, forehead and mouth, is it black or is it the background color >>

there is no black at all. everything dark is the background.

I have added new details to my answers to the dropbox;-)
