Stern, 2014This looks awesome, hows it coming along? I see its been a couple of months since any posts.
I've just purchased a TWD Pro, and was really disappointed to see the single boring flouro light behind the translite. I loved the fact I could make up a color scheme to suit the translite graphics and the machine wit my other Williams machines. Maybe someone has / could come up with an alternative translight back lighting system. I think I'll start another thread on this and make some inquiries.
Quoted from toeskneez:This looks awesome, hows it coming along? I see its been a couple of months since any posts.
I just accepted a big project so this one is on hold right now. You know how it is.. paying costumers come before the personal projects hehehe
Will get back to this asap.
Quoted from Pinballgeek:Any updates ?
Still not ready to pick this up again.
I apologize to all my fans (lol) for this horrendous delay, but I assure that you will all be compensated. 
In the meantime I made a quick drawing of the tank (will be on the top left) because it's been way too much time without no updates:

Quoted from pinchamp:It’s has been a long time. Has this been abandoned now? Some really great work. Would have been cool to see it to completion.
This was not abandoned. It was left on standby since the Thunderbirds project started.
One day I will pick this up. 
Just saw this for the first time. Very cool! My 2 cents would be to remove the font all together. I think it would be awesome without AMC or The Walking Dead written on it.
How are you drawing this? Is it all hand drawn on a computer?
Quoted from DMC:Did you do the Thunderbirds art package?
Yes I did.
Quoted from chubtoad13:How are you drawing this? Is it all hand drawn on a computer?
Yes, all hand drawn directly on the computer through a Cintiq.
Quoted from DMC:It must have been a lot of work to do that remotely.
Yes it was. I had to keep printing various versions on paper at real size to try to imagine how it would look on the machine. That and using the living room's LCD as it were the cabinet, to see the cabinet art big enough. lol
Quoted from Pinstein:More fun options.
If photoshopped crap is fun then you're all set
My money's with the custom designed hand drawn stuff the OP is working on from scratch (and without stealing other people's work).
Sorry, just not into a bunch of random stuff somebody pieced together with a Bing image search, which is probably severely lacking the proper 300 DPI resolution to make a sharp print.
Looking way better than the stock translite on the Premium. Hopefully these will be for sale when you're done. I look forward to seeing how it comes out
Quoted from Pinstein:More fun options.
Thank you for coming to my topic to try to sell your manure.
Please go now and take your turds with you because I don’t think this is the correct place for it.

I’ve been looking for an alternative translite. How do I buy one of these?
All the main stuff is done. Just a few details here and there to do:
1 (resized).jpg
Here is the complete canvas. The area outside the green lines is the bleed and will not be visible.
Usually, the bleed for something like this is 3 mm but I made 10 mm. I always make art with a huge bleed so I can make small frame adjustments when the work is on it's final stage. That gives me a little margin to work and make final decisions more loosely:

After the details I will move into coloring. I am thinking of doing 2 versions:
The one with the characters with something like a desaturated yellow over the red background:

And the one with the characters with realistic but a little desaturated colors over a desaturated green background:

This:

Over this background:

And maybe a version full of blood everywhere hehe
On all of them I will have to solve this problem:
I have a barn on fire and a tank firing a round. Those will need yellow and orange colors that will need to match the red background or the greenish background. I could make these fires fully red and greenish as well? 
Opinions are welcome
Nice work as always. How about those JP side blades??

hahahah
Quoted from hassanchop:The pro version is starting to look pro

Coming together very well. Nice work! Looking forward to the premium version

Looks very good, if you are asking for advice, the only recommendation I’d make is add some more solid black areas and lines to give more tonal contrast. Great work!
Could some one please help me out?
It's about the colors on the pro. I have been following the Stern's official flyer for the colors, but I see pictures of the machine and the cabinet side looks a little more yellow. Also, the tones of the official translite and the cabinet have this yellow difference.
What should I follow? The yellow-ish tone or the flyer's tone?
Check these images to see what I mean:

Quoted from hassanchop:Could anyone check their machine and confirm this, please?
What is it you want checked? I can take a picture of my translite and my side cabinet, would that help?
You could also try asking the TWD owners thread, that one likely gets more views than this one.

Done, thanks!
Quoted from Captainhook:Here's some pics
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Thanks for the pics. The cabinet does look more yellow toned than the translite.
Quoted from pinchamp:Sorry mine is on location and I don’t expect to go there until next week. However the pamphlet tones do not look correct. It looks pale or washed out. The other pic looks more true to what I remember seeing on my pro.
Yeah that is the conclusion I am getting at based on your comments and pics. Will wait to see what more guys say at the club and will get back here with the final conclusion.
