Awesome and really glad to hear these can be fixed. Great that the community can put eyes on these before a whole run.
I do t have any scans but I am sure others do.
If you can post some high res links of straight on photos of the reproduction, and others can do the same; then I would be happy to look them over and point out all the needed fixes. I am guessing others would help also
Quoted from PinMonk:Mirco swears he doesn't use auto-trace, but these examples are CLEAR hallmarks of autotrace-fail.
I believe he hires this work out to a sub contractor.
The “quality” is typical of what you find from Indian companies that do this sort of thing. Lots of auto trace and no clean up along with not even looking at an accurate reference file.
My only point about using sub contractors, is that I don’t think he really knows what they are or are not using.
I am very happy to see this being made and even more happy to see the willingness and desire to correct the errors
I don’t think anyone really cares what is used.
Those of interested in buying just want to see the fixes and make these as good as possible.
Thx again for wanting to do that
Quoted from PinMonk:This is a remake done in less than an hour, from scratch. It's not an issue of bad art, it's an issue of bad/lazy artist.
EDIT: Looking at that source playfield SOME of these errors were from the bad touchup donor playfield, but not all of them. Also, great example of why turning the art to the community before running them is a good idea.

can mirco just hire you please!
Quoted from PinMonk:don't need any more work, and I'm really more of a motivated amateur when it comes to art like thi
You are damn good to be honest
Quoted from greatwichjohn:This my last post here on this topic. Like beating a dead horse. I have no personal ill will to the past antics of Mirco towards me or others. Just would like to produce more playfields but like I said it can be very costly for a tiny producer. Seems like the war continues between Mirco & CPR, & any small producer is fair game to ruin!
John, if there is a game you want to do and can get it done in a reasonable timeline then I would just make it public and ensure everyone knows.
The community will support you if you let everyone know and you also can get it out the door in a decent time. If one of the big guys comes in over the top of you then it looks bad for them and others know the quality of your product. You will lose a few people, but many will wait and support you.

Much better but still some details.
We really need your artist to work on attention to the details.
Each red circle is something I found in 5min that needs refinement.
Some things are wrong colors (compass near center drain, yellow swoosh tail to right of 5 ball)
Somethings are basic art stuff like a flat feeling white reflection due to the shape of that cresent moon being wrong.)
Some stuff is subtle but important aspects like comma tail being different
