I'm trying to decide if I should introduce text into the newspaper rather than staying with the lines. The new artfile is 24"x30" 300DPI, this is the resolution I plan on working to for the final piece. I noticed for the computer game packing of the game the artwork had been redetailed, so I took those elements and used them to build out a foundation.īest shot of the art i could find _ My composite base for the redraw

So my first job was to hunt down as much high res artwork as I could so that I could comp together a working base to do the redrawing over. My final goal is to blend the prototype art into the system 2 art in a way that is true to both, but also gives a new spin to the original designs. I'm a total perfectionist when it comes to artwork so I really wanted to pay respect to one of the all time greats by making sure the artwork for it is the best I can manage. I've going to completely re-ink and redetail the artwork from the side of the Paperboy Prototype cab so that I can use it on the side of this one. So today I started on my first real work for the cab which is the art. But time to hold my nose and jump in the deep end. This is a whole new world for me, building a scratch cab was easy as it's all quite generic parts off the shelf, but this is quiet different. Thanks to Vig for pointing out this is a super early cab #34. T-Molding - Uncertain - 'Paperboy' blue and blackįootrests - Uncertain - May try bright diamond plate.Ĭab condition is great, everything is there, lights, power, sound, game and coins all work.

PAPERBOY ARCADE GAME SIDE ART SERIAL
Originally I mad planned to do a resto-mod 'enhanced' Paperboy cabinet but the cab I ended up finding was such an early serial #34 and in such well preserved condition that I just couldn't bring myself to mess with it, so at least for the sake of this project I'm going to try and stick with an authentic full restore the best I can, only using different materials/finishes that would look like the original but be more durable.Ĭontroller overlay - Black Powder Coated with NOS overlay.ĬPO - Original if I can find one or I'll use newly illustrated papers and Paperboy art to create an enhanced version. Paperboy "Exclusive!" - A traditional restore with enhanced art.
