Board Cutting, Studying and Ocktoberfest

Paul was supposed to be over at 10 am to help me cut out a board to mount a monitor in the Tetris. He was on time on the dot.

I took us about an hour and a half, with all of the “try it again’s”, putting the board in the machine, and then putting the heavy old monitor through the opening to make sure it would fit. A lot of times we had to shave parts down, most of the extra cuts were to accommodate the screws on …

Simpsonize Me – Sarah Rothe

I never did post this, and saw it on my desktop this morning so I thought I would.

Here is Sarah’s version of herself that she did in August on the Simpsonize Me website. The dog is there only because we have a dog, you don’t really get choices with that. Otherwise, the rendition didn’t come out all that close. There may be some small features that are the same, but mine looks a lot closer that is for …

Friday’s are for relaxing

Sarah and I went to the gym right after work, for only the second time this week meaning we’ll have to go sometime this weekend.

When we got back, we both just chilled out. I made a quick post on the blog, and then I got to take a bath, it’s been awhile. I think I knew I had plenty to do, and had one of those overwhelming segments of time. I just tried to focus on what absolutely “had” to be done for tomorrow.

Sarah slept on …

Got photos of Circus Charlie Sideart

After about two months of follow up with a collector that had full sideart, late last week I got a series of decent photos that I can eventually use (when I clear my plate) to vectorize the sideart.

So, I took the time to vectorize the lettering, which was time consuming enough. Hope to have more to add to this section about Centuri / Konami’s Circus Charlie vector sideart soon.

Photos of the Professor Pac-man Sideart

Since I was so heavily involved with tracing some other pieces of Professor Pac-man artwork, Rick F. finally had some time to snap off some large and detail photos of the Professor Pac-man sideart. I have them in my possession, now if only time grew on trees.

Food Fight Kickplate – Bottom Left Corner

Got some time to start on the vector Atari’s Food Fight kickplate artwork.

The colors don’t match obviously, I haven’t done any of that yet. Just getting the base artwork, which was fairly simple to vectorize. The dot pattern in the pie was the hardest part, and that may just be a smidegeon off, but is very close.

Jr. Pac-man marquee vectoring started!

The Jr. Pac-man marquee is much more than started, I am about three days worth of work in (Visit KLOV for my forum topic). I did the little ground hog first with the bird, then the paint cans and then the grass. I feel like I have done some of the more complicated stuff on the marquee first, or at least I hope so. This Jr. Pac-man piece of vector artwork has been a lot of work so far.
