Klopjero Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Hi, Do we have art hunters on here ? people that like to look and find artwork for other members to work with ? I used to rely on @klizine he's have the most bizarre hi-res scans you'd ever lay your eyes on. anyway I'm looking for a hi-res scan of Hoyle's Classic card games box front and back if possible...from 1993. I'll will post a small picture of the front.. the most annoying thing about this..is that i USED to have it, but now I can't find it anymore.. I found it while file guessing at the Sierra chest. so please help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klopjero Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 as I post this I tried to get to the parent directory.... of the sierra chest... and it just showed a me the file list... some webmasters are just lazy .. I told him about the listing rights like 2 years ago.. o well my gain... here is the link http://sierrachest.com/gfx/games/HoyleGames1VGA/ BTW... Do we have a list of art hunters on here ? should we make one ? I dunno get an art community started or something ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kondorito Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Did not know @klizine was here! He was an awesome sidekick when I made the Famicom 3D box set. I was thinking the same thing the other day; there are a lot of talented artists in here, however the art is centered in the audiovisual aspect (startup videos, platform videos, BB themes, etc.). Might be because all the main systems' art is somewhat already tackled and users are not "missing" stuff? I dont know. I am in for your idea, Jero. Currently finishing a NES real 3D box set and NES real 2D cart set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klopjero Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 Thanks Guys @klizine glad to see you here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suhrvivor Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I'm no artist hunter but a "talented artist". I could use a hunter myself. I'm making discs for my favorite games and I'm having trouble finding good scans for PS2 japanese discs and PS3 discs, the later are specially hard to find in high res.

voicesinthedark Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I think there's a lot of us outside of the themes, etc. making art on here, especially with box art reconstructions and fan art boxes which is what I've been doing a lot of lately.

Klopjero Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 (edited) @klizine you wouldn't happen to have a nice back and front of Darby the dragon now, would you ? Edited July 23, 2018 by Klopjero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klizine Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 That's a difficult one @Klopjero I couldn't manage to find a single boxed photo... and IF this is even the box... best I could find was the front... and in French. Est-ce que ça va? English version is smaller. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voicesinthedark Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I looked around as well and couldn't find anything else either. If you don't mind a repro box then I can try taking the artwork from one of the few boxes there are and recreate the english box front. While there's no images of the actual box back, Broderbund boxes weren't all that complex and there's plenty of game images that I could try to make a mock box back if you don't mind that. Let me know if this is something you want me to mess around with and see what I can come up with, also what image size if anything specific do you want? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For my scummVM box project, I'm now at the living books, educational games. I've had to create some back covers for the Crazy nick's software picks. all in all I'm making good progress. over 160 boxes are done.. and I'm currently wondering if, when I'm done if I should take on the list of SVN game titles. your help would be most welcome @voicesinthedark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I got all of the different sections isolated, but the actual art section was driving me nuts because there was so much artifacting and grim on it, especially on the clouds so I decided to just redo them and then noticed how bad the sky and the rest of it was so now I'm a few hours into completely cleaning it all by hand and then I can get back to finishing up the box front. Then i'll get started on the box back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klizine Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Well, I've found a box picture with the side.... from "The Family Pack". Hope it helps! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the spine of the Darby box between the dragon and the blue discovery bar at the very bottom of the box, does anyone know what that graphic is? I think it's their rectangular PC CD-Rom Disc graphic but I can't tell for sure. PS: I need to take a bit of a break because my eyes keep going all wonky from staring at pixels for so long a stretch but I have about 3/4ths of the original artwork cleaned up for your repo box. After working on this thing all day I might very well need a drink, but unfortunately the farthest I've ever been outside of this shithole aka THe USA is Canada so don't think I'll be getting to your part of the world anytime soon, but thanks for the offer.

Oh awesome, thanks. The will definitely help. I have 90% of the box front done, now it's mostly just the gradients for the colored bars on the top side and bottom of the box front and then trying to match up the rest of the text on it.
