I’m working on a high end restore theatre of magic and saw Brian Allen’s custom art package. What do people think? Is it worth the upgrade to the new art.

A bit much for my tastes

I think the art on the original is fantastic.

I like Brian Allen’s art too…but IMO he seems to make alternates for the translites that are already some of the best. In most cases I do prefer the originals.

I'm a fan of alternate translites, but I've had trouble connecting with what Brian has been doing for one simple reason: he keeps doing games that already have great, classic art. I'd just rather have the originals with those games.

It's a eye catcher for sure but I still like what comes with the game though

Personally, I stick to the general rule of thumb that mods should be reversible. New cab art wouldn't count as reversible. And I don't think there's really anything wrong with the original artwork to begin with to necessitate replacing it.

Quoted from Aurich:

he keeps doing games that already have great, classic art. I'd just rather have the originals with those games.

I agree--it would better to tackle a game that has mediocre or terrible art, then there would be a significant leap towards improving the game.

Agree. I'd vote instead for somebody making another alternative Shadow translite, the world can always use another one of those.

Speaking only for myself (and I don't own a TOM, so take this for what's it worth) but I actually prefer the alt art. I think the alt art really pops.

Great artwork but I would prefer the original.

Same here. The original is great if not one of the best. I guess it’s better to rework some others like DM, shadow or IJ but there might be some license issues.
