Hello I am working on my Stern Dracula pinball I am in the process of adding music to this pin and soon will be done, this pin gets alot of hate because of the backglass but I feel the playfield and cabinet are beautiful I am adding castlevania music and but wanted to do something about the backglass.. this is where I'm at but i dont know... i kind of dont like it and i kind of do so i want to get some opnions..
What you got missing there though is the hot chick. Not that the Stern really pulled that off either.
Lol yes I agree I may do something different but I had this printed by staples and the print looks so dark and dull compared to what was on my pc like the colors did not transfer well
I like the original backglass. The custom one is cool... But, for the nintendo Castlevania game. I don't think it fits the pinball table. Unless you got simon belmont on the playfield.
I mean... It would be great to have all pinball backglasses resemble A frazetta painting... But, there is only one Paragon. And yeah... I think the artist was totally aiming to rip off frazetta, as that game came out around the height of Franks popularity.
Back to the original topic. I think the original is good. The main thing is the colors... The color pallete is a bit weird, but maybe due to the printing that they had to use at the time. Otherwise the framing of it, and the body language, and weight, all are done fine. Nice sense of drama as well. Just weird color choices. If done in a modern style it would work. But, again I like the cheese and old school VAULT OF HORROR EC comics vibe... And yes... I know I put comics at the end of EC. And so that means I said comics comics... But, I wanted to make sure you knew what I meant.
But, I am a weirdo who likes cheesy things. I love the backglasses for Raven, Hardbody and other pins of their ilk.
I like it. Way better than original. Castlevania player as a kid, would be nice as a total re-theme. Bet I got your wheels turning now

Quoted from code2quest:think i am going to stay with the original added a big led to the back of the dracula name looks good.. thank you all for your input =)
I'm not a big fan of toppers. But, that is so amazingly cheesy. I love it. Looks great!!!
Quoted from Rdoyle1978:How are you adding castlevania music to the game? That is really awesome
i will show the finish job once done just need a bit more work but wow it brings these old games to life..

thank you, i like it also =)
It would be great if it didn't have a big guy with a wHip on it.
The art other than that has a cool look to it but I'm not usually in favor of changing the theme basically to suit someones other interests.
But hey, whatever it's your game, have fun with it. Just keep the old Backglass fro someone that want it or if you sell it down the road.
