Alot of MK art request posts are getting lost
in others restorations threads so Id like to consolidate any and ALL MK ART requests to this thread.

After finishing up with MK1 sideart Ive been getting alot of requests to print some of the other MK art
So next up if theres enough interest will be MK4
as far as I know its the only one not yet available another collector sent me the scan but needs some size and bleed to get it ready.

Im currently double checking the sizing to the cabinet outline I previously did for MK1 heres a little peak at that

Im asuming some of the differences here in the cabinet shape is simalr to those issues in scanning/stiching the art together.

while I applaud your efforts and love your work.. I just wanted to point out that MK4 has one of the worst sideart packages ever... and that you could probably make significantly more money with War Gods sideart. :D

but hey, I'll bet ctozzi will buy this up.

EDIT: my bad, if it was MK3 sideart ctozzi would buy it up. ;D

just messing btw
 
i just threw up in my mouth a little. :D

LMFAO!!
Seriously though...you made eggs and hash browns come out my nose! It hurt a little.

Rich, will we be getting a MK1 CPO before this? I have the one from GoG, but the sizing is really off. I'll be working on a MK3 eventually as well.

I never realized until I got your MK control panel art, just how much better your art is compared to GoG. Theirs is really blurry and the color gradient behind the dragon is bland where as yours has that nice halftone dot pattern that makes it feel right.

Thank you sooo much for the MK art by the way, I'm eternally grateful!
 
Damn,
Why isn't there a Poll survey here on what could be next?

Sorry for being selfish guys, but I gotta have a MK II next to my MK1.
That's a Huge GAP! MK1 then a 4?

Either or, whatever comes next you'll know it'll Look F'n amazing and be done right.
 
I should have asked Ed Boon last year at CAX when he was with our little group if he knew where the original graphics files could maybe possibly be.. LOL.. would save everyone A LOT of time. He is a pretty dam cool guy though, that's for sure.
 
yeah this one doesnt have much work on my end.
Solvent inkjet print just like the MK1 sides
the scans were sent to me so Ill simply adjust the size and bleed.

I will take a look at the MK3 box art next as well but that will need to be sovent inkjet as well.

MK1 cpo will be screened Im working on redrawing it now but will proably be several months before its ready for print.

not to change the direction of this thread but any chance we can get some KI1 sides ("Nintendo")?, i'll have to check my files or see what bio's got if it's a possibility rich.


checked my files, they're not terrible but not spot on with the screening pixilation/stippling (w/e it's called lol). I'd still be more than willing to send them over.

I'd love to see the "Midway" signs for MK3 and believe they are the same as Wrestlemania and Rampage, right? So could be good for all games.
 
Hey Brood, don't be all up in the MK art thread with some KI stuff homes! MK representing!

I know not of what any of that means.....I'm so not cool. :(

My workplace has a nice KI 2 dedicated that they won't let me have, and some converted KI cabinets that are now Tekken crap. Makes me sad cos you can still see the faint outline of Spinal through the black paint.

Man I hear that! Speaking of which, I'd love to get my hands on a WWF Wrestlemania set of artwork. I know I've seen some NOS conversion stuff on eBay. The side art would be great to repro along with the cpo and control box front.

As a dedicated MK3 owner...

I just want to throw out there that an Ozzman Scan/Rich team-up for MK3 art would be awesome.

MK4 is my least favorite of the series, but the idea of all the cabs getting the TOG treatment is HUGE.

Your MK fan base is really going to be split between MK2 and MK3 as the favorite.

I think MK3 as a cab has the advantage, due to the run button. You can play all the MK games in a MK3 without bastardizing your control panel.

GoG provides a great service, but it's not really aiming for perfection. The art out there right now for an MK3 comes from someone using the conversion sides, and adding a few scanned areas from a dedicated cab stitched in. The morie pattern from the original image has been completely removed. Also, there are alignment issues with the print that GoG has not resolved to the best of my knowledge.
 
I've been trying to find a good MK3 for a while and at this point I'm just going to make one myself. But the repro art out there isn't very good. I'm hoping one of you fine gentleman has a mint cab to scan :D
