Well, i have a dragon with a BG in pretty bad shape.
Was my intention to scan and vectorize it someday to get a new one made. I can do all that scaning and all the computer work to vectorizing but it would take some time. A vector graohic file is really the way to go to get quality results. Your guy would very likely confirm that.
You mention getting a translite made. Is it really a translite (plexiglass) or are you really getting a glass repro?
If the later, i could be interested in doing the artwork and maybe we can get two done at once if you think some discount could apply with your supplier.
Let me know.
