Quoted from HOOKED:Isn't it interesting that with video games people want life like and in pinball we want artist interpretation?
Not me.
I still want/crave 2D creativity as far as the eye can see, in ALL facets of entertainment.
Side-scrolling sprite driven games that were highly detailed (for whatever the system could push at the time) were always my favorite.
When Super Castlevania IV came out for the SNES I was floored. Dracula X improved upon that standard and Symphony of the Night just crushed all those that came before it.
Same goes for Animation.
Traditional old-school 2D is still king in my book.
While the Japanese elevated the animation game in the 70's, 80's and 90's, those veteran's efforts from the 30's-60's are still quite impressive to this day.
Once Disney started vagazzling in scenes with the Silicon Graphics computers I was out.
Nowadays it's all kids know and that's fine; the technology to accurately produce "hand drawn art" digitally, is the best it's ever been.
Practically seamless.
Still,
If and when I ever get time to build my OWN machine and get all the artwork nailed down, you better believe I'll be reaching for the rubylith and screening it by hand!
Cab stencils too!
