djweevil666 Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Hi Dreamstate. Your work is breathtaking. I would asume you are from a older crowd based on your titles. The machines you choose are very beautiful astetically. I am about to look them up I have not heard of a large amount of your titles. So I wanted to say what you are doing is a very beautiful thing. I wanted to say thank you for sharing your creations and also for having me look up things that I haden't seen or experienced yet. Cheers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers. Appreciated. I'm into restoring old artwork so the titles I choose aren't necessarily games I would play now or back when I was a kid. Some definitely are though and I've made my own versions when others overlay work doesnt suit my tastes. It's definitely part of my game plan to let people see what other countries offered in arcades because some were much more beautiful than north American cabinets. I just wish I could get my hands on some others I've seen like Spanish varients from Sega S.A. SONIC etc. If anyone is interested in stuff you've never seen dig into this site and its listings of all your favorite arcade titles. Some are mind blowing. It's like being able to see an alternate universe of arcade cabinets. www.recreativas.org Click the "Maquinas recreativas dedicadas"/ dedicated arcade machines section. Cheers.

darkand Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Dreamstate, Your work is fantastic. Could you make some candy default theme? example: Sega Blast City, Taito Egreet or Sega astro city. Thank you. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1APG6CzaVykrl_n74QNOBrOem_8PaeZF_/view?usp=share_link https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Vk0Aiz-3RRH3ldCCKPO4ttbBa9c-sjNs/view?usp=share_link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamstate Posted July 8, 2023 Author Share Posted July 8, 2023 (edited) Midway Wizard Of Wor 8k I revisited this one since it's a favorite of mine. I swapped out the old photo of the marquee for a scan that I lit up for a huge bump in resolution. I removed the arcade reflection on the bezel with scratches as this one looks better without them. I gave the rest of the artwork on the cab a slight black light effect. Enjoy!

PiperCalls Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Wow those look great 👍. I'm doing bezels for vertical games on a vertical monitor now. Question how did you get the light behind the marquee effect? I can't seem to get any lighting effects that mimic that well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question how did you get the light behind the marquee effect? I can't seem to get any lighting effects that mimic that well. I obviously create these in photoshop and I make many layers that combined give the desired effect . I sometimes have as many as 10-15 layers for one marquee. I brighten, darken the colors. Fade things and blend them into each other and i use photos as reference while I'm making them. Sometimes i literally sample all the different shades of colors in the photos to get more accurate looks for the marquees. Most take me about 2-3 hrs to create. It's understandable why some people like myself use good photos in place of scans because there's so much work involved. But the end result is worth it when it's a cab you love.
