Ok my Maiden brothers, we know Stern has the license and we know Yeti is the man that will get it done right. If Stern doesn't put him on the project, we only have ourselves to blame! We are the Customer, it's time to blow it up! I don't want Jeremy's talent getting wasted on some "shit show" title like "Golden Girls Reunion", while Maiden gets the GOT treatment. Maiden will be a dream come true for many of us and we need to ensure it gets done right......I will f'king kill myself if they blow it! In Zombie Yeti we trust! Up with the Irons boys!

Where is the poll option to have the original iron maiden artist do the pin?

Disagree. Yea while Z Yeti is great, iron maiden already has an artist and several art assets that can be used probably without any artist at all. Iron maiden really needs to have the Derek Riggs art - that's its staple. If I can toss something together that looks decent with my horrible skills (https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/rolling-stones-to-iron-maiden-project), I imagine with real licensed assets and some talent, something incredible can be put together.

Iron maiden is Derek Riggs. The end, period.
Yeti is great but this is non debatable. Then again Metallica is pusshead in my eyes. I still wish he had done that instead of Donny.

Yep Eddie needs to look original and not all cartooney. But we also don't want photoshopped Eddie everywhere. Riggs can do original hand drawn art for this please.

You got it Cosmo...Glamour Shots couldn't wipe Olan Mills' ass with a Costco 100 pack of Charmin.
Maybe Gary should have Olan Mills photoshop Riggs' work...

I agree, Mr Riggs would be amazing, but I thought someone said he is no longer the artist for Maiden???

He is not, for quite some time, maybe over 2 decades now....

True. Verified by Maiden's licensing firm.

I think that photo is a perfect example of why he is the wrong guy for the job. First, the colors are just way off. The color palette he chooses are great for Popadiuk games and other things but not for iron maiden.

The chances of custom art from Riggs are practically zero. Therefore, I'd rather have a nice mixture of his pre-existing art than a substitute artist doing custom stuff. They never get Eddie quite right. Markmon's project is a proof this can be done and look outstanding.

First off, great job Mark on your Maiden conversion, I think you would do a great job with an existing style guide for Stern, that being said, are you completely forgetting how Stern has managed to f'ck up every imaginable title with a great existing image portfolio??? The issue at Stern is art direction, not content! Jeremy is way more diverse as an artist than you are giving him credit for. Honestly I trust his art direction, I don't care if it's hand drawn or existing Maiden images, I want someone who understands composition and what is "cool"..........Yeti gets it!

There are lots of great artists in the world, but only Riggs can **do** Maiden's style.

It's fun to see interpretations like ZY's, and that poster would be cool to have, but there is 40 years of Maiden's existing art to draw from for a pin.

If Stern Fncks the art up on a Maiden pin......pinball is doomed.

You sound so sure...remember you are proposing a Stern clip art game. Any one of them better than MET or GB art? There was plenty of source material for XM and SM too.

The movie studios nowadays do not want you creating your own art, so they supply you an art style book to work from. That way there is a unified style across all media.

GB is so old, I could not even find a style book for it (it may have come out before books were common).

As far as GB backglass goes, I would have rather had some photoshopped faces from the movie, than those puckered in drawn faces.....

Derrick Riggs art is maiden! I do like zombie yeti art and it's great, but maiden fans want the og art style.

Agree, and the band owns the art.
The Trooper is still a huge seller alone.
I would hope licensing keeps original art to BG and cab. Yeti for the Playfield.

I am breaking out the NIB money for two pins in 2018, ACDC Luci and Maiden! I haven’t bought a NIB in 2 years. If they nail the layout and rules, this will be huge!
