Arcade Artwork
I may get Rob’s information who owns the Mr. Do!
Just when I thought I was going to have to start over, my trail has picked up again. I emailed Gary one more time to see if he had found Rob’s information (Another guy in MA who owned this Mr. Do) and let him know about Walt and how things didn’t work out. He was nice enough to email me back last night with Rob’s information, and to let me know that he had already told him that I was going to email. So, back at it, and hopefully he has time to get back with me.
Starting to vectorize Jr. Pac-man control panel overlay
This week Richard sent me a close up photo of the original control panel overlay by itself. Tonight I started tracing it, and got through about 50% of it I believe. I imagine it will be about two weeks before I am able to finish it up. The Jr. Pac-man’s are always tough, the detail in his shoes takes awhile. It should be another cool piece to add to my collection when finished, the final idea being I would have all of the artwork for making an original Jr. Pac-man if I would ever need.
Lower Professor Pac-man cpanel artwork
Tonight I was procrastinating on other things that I needed to do, so I decided I would just finished this piece of artwork for the Professor Pac-man. I don’t know what you call this exactly, it’s the lower Professor Pac-man overlay, or underlay, basically the artwork right below the control panel. The Professor was all that was left with some miscellaneous pieces of the tables and chairs. You can see a small image of the finished artwork below.
I kind of like having whole collection of unattainable artwork, or rare at the very least. I would like to do the Professor Pac-man sideart next if Richard will continue to indulge me and take photos.
Still hoping I can get photos from Walt
I called Walt today and left another message. I just let him know that I would call him one more time before I left him alone. I may have put him on the spot, asking him to take those photos, but that is why I told him I would barter with him time. I could give him web services for his website if needed, so he was getting something in return for his time. But either way, he hasn’t gotten back to me, and neither did Gary the last time I emailed, so I am at a dead end with this piece of art. I am just really glad that the Jr. Pac-man stuff has gone so well with Richard, otherwise I might be really discouraged.
Professor Pac-man ghost finished
Finished up the orange ghost tonight. I have pieces of the Professor Pac-man on the overlay finished, but he is the last piece and I will be able to post an image of the finished piece here, maybe still sometime this weekend.
Progress Professor Pac-man cpanel artwork
Worked a little more on the bottom section of the Professor Pac-man control panel overlay. I did a good deal of work, got through the blue ghost and most of the orange ghost before I worked on other pressing things.
Professor Pac-man bottom control panel artwork
Still really interested in having some sort of artwork preservation project going, tonight I was looking through the hi-res photos I had and I decided to start on tracing the bottom portion of the Professor Pac-man artwork. I got through remaking Pac-man before the night was up.
