Quoted from Quicksilver1:

Cost as well as deadlines usually played a big factor in playfield/backglass art cohesion fails. A perfect example is Paul Faris' Future Spa backglass art vs. Dave Christensen's Future Spa playfield art.
[quoted image]

Also 1980 Skateball- The backglass art was done in the 70's on a failed title (it CAUGHT FIRE and was cancelled plus other reasons) and then Bally recycled the backglass and name.

The 1980 playfield has awesome art, backglass not so much.

Future Spa backglass is cringe inducing to me for some reason which is a shame as it has one of the coolest backglass lamp effects.

Grandpa with a 6-pack is bizarre.

OP
Quoted from MtnFrost:

That backglass is just lazy photoshop. Reminds me of one of my favorite poster artists, Drew Struzan. He remarked that he had to retire because the studios found it cheaper to make photoshop heads.

As much as I enjoy the gameplay, the backglass and playfield art is terrible on LAH. Ditto for LW3.

Not a fan of the whole "big head" school of Photoshop art.

What this video- hilarious.

Quoted from drypaint:

There was no Photoshop at that time.

Photoshop started in 1987 was full commercial in 1990, Last Action Hero came out in 1993.

I'm still using PS 5.0 which came out in 1998.

Quoted from drypaint:

Wow... I stand corrected.
Edit: The Wow is as much for the fact that photoshop came out that early, but equally that you are still using the version from 1998. LOL

It does what I need it to do, matter of fact there are still aspects I have not fully explored.

Swapping over to Ubuntu and Gimp this year, steep learning curve there!
