PPS Parts (and Art) Wish List / Re: Dungeons and Dragons Cab Art

« on: September 25, 2015, 02:13:24 AM »

Hi Folks,


A minor update.  I called over to Planetary and briefly spoke with Rick a couple of weeks ago.  He said they are working on a potential run...but have many other projects in the queue.  It sounded as if some films were found, but others were going to have to be recreated/touched up to some degree.


He stressed the need to color match (he doesn't want it done incorrectly) and I offered up my willingness to assist.  I will work with Tallon (Scott) as well to match as accurately as possible.  I provided my info to Planetary, but I have not heard back or received anything additional at this time.


As I have more info, I will let you all know.  I did request potentially moving this thread to (or starting a new one in) the "In Progress" sub-forum...if Rick sees fit.  Cross those fingers!

I haven't heard anything on my end, but I imagine Rick is a busy guy.  I did hear back from some other interested folks who haven't taken the time to post here...yet.


Hopefully this happens!  Any hope you can throw our way Rick?  Films check out?

Hey Rick,


With you wanting to know sizes...does that confirm availability of films?  You didn't specifically say, so thought I would clarify. 

::EDIT::

I removed my request for a silkscreen run.  After reading your explanation of NextGen 2+ I think it might fit the bill just fine.  For those interested in reading Rick's explanation of the differences:

One tiny question, The original artwork appears to have started with a low sheen black vinyl.  When the black silkscreening occurred it is much more glossy and outlines the art nicely.  This is especially noticeable on the head/topper.  Would this be possible to simulate with the NextGen2+process by printing gloss over the film black?

The process sounds awesome. Using gloss to simulate silkscreen is a very cool technique.

Instead of me saying how much I would love to see this available...let me pose some questions.


Is there any way we D&D pin owners can crowd fund reproduction cab art into existence?  What if we were to pay for the vector work and turn it over to you?  Helped work with WotC to clear copyright issues?  I know there are several folks who would rally together to replace their now faded/chipped artwork.  Especially considering the art appeal of the cab.


I guess I'm just wondering if there is anything us D&D pin lovers can do to get the dice rolling?


Can't blame a guy for trying.  Let me know if you would be open to something like this!
