In Reply to: wanted: graphics of game icons, big enough to hand draw from posted by jammadave on 14, 2000 at 2:29 PM:
Actually, I was surprised not to find a lot of these graphics already. So, I have been doing a lot of time in Adobe Illustrator -- hand drawing some of these from the graphics I could find on the internet. So far, I've got a good Ms. Pac, Pac Man, Dig Dug and Space Invader. Was thinking about making a website for all these "vector" drawn graphics so people could download them and scale them to whatever size they need.
Didn't think there were many people interested in it though so I didn't really pursue it very far. Maybe I'll rethink my opinion.
: okay - for my mame cabinet i have decided to go the old fashioned way and draw a big scene with a bunch of characters in it, to put on as sideart. will probably have kinko's print it up in bigass decal form.
: But i don't have big enough pics of the characters to draw from. mostly i was trying to use online photos of marquees and such to get them from, but that's just not big enough to get all the details to draw from. So if anybody has BIG pics of the following, i'd be much obliged! (the cartoony art versions, not the actual graphics from the game)
: 1. a stylized galaga ship
: 2. pac man, i'd like a few to pick from
: 3. ms pac
: 4. chef from burgertime
: 5. dk
: 6. the Sinistar
: 7. Dig Dug
: 8. your cool twin-hulled plane from 1942
: everything else i think i can do from scratch,but i want to get the key ingredients just right
: thanks!!!
