Creating custom backgrounds for Dragon's Lair and Space Ace cels

Just wanted to share a post where I describe how I created custom reproduction backgrounds for my Dragon's Lair and Space Ace cels.

It is getting harder to find these cels, and not all of them were fortunate enough to be paired with an original or reproduction background. What's worse is that some were sold with any old watercolor background, that often had nothing to do with the game.

Here I describe my process for creating these backgrounds. I think they turned out pretty sweet, if I do say so myself.

Now that I have the process down, I should be able to do the same for anyone else for a pretty reasonable price (at least a lot less than having a new background hand-painted for you.)

BTW - I'm always looking for new Dragon's Lair and Space Ace cels, if anyone is selling.

Thanks,

Pete

How about backgrounds for animation cells from the Space Ace cartoon? I have a few, all from the same scene and sequence and none of them have backgrounds.

P.S. I would sell one as well if you are interested. Here is a link to what I am talking about.

I haven't seen the Ruby Spears Space Ace released on DVD yet (although I bought a copy of the RS Dragon's Lair series). It would be best if they were blu-ray quality, but DVD could work too - although they would be more pixelated and slightly blurry, as they would have to be enlarged to fit the cels.

I have the Space Ace cartoon on DVD. Bought it on eBay awhile ago. The content looks legit with a menu and everything, but the disc is burned. Of course all those cartoons are burned discs.
