Mr. Do!
Apple and Clown finished for Mr. Do! Bezel
Well, it was a lot more work than I thought. The clown took a good amount of work to not only look correct, but to make sure it prints correctly and at a larger size. But I did finish both the apple and the clown for my Mr. Do sideart, check out some small images of them.
Finished winged Mr. Do! enemy
The other day I finished the winged character guy, so I thought I would post a small image of him here.
Almost completed the Mr. Do! clown
Over the weekend I was watching some tv, so I worked on the Mr. Do clown enemy quite a bit, and he is nearing completion. So, between this character, the apple details I have left, and the almost done winged guy, I could have four main characters done by next weekend. Which is good, because I now have a blank sided cabinet to put the artwork on if I want.
Working on Mr. Do! clown on bezel
Yesterday I worked a good deal on the clown from the bezel as well as the crazy looking winged guy. Still thinking they won’t be finished until next weekend.
Finished first piece of artwork for Mr. Do!
Finally getting a chance to post an image of the Wind Up Mr. Do character that I got to trace last week.
Weird looking guy, but hey, I like the game and it is the only real sideart I know of. Other characters are cooler looking, I may get to them next week.
Second set of Mr. Do! photos from Rob Carroll
Got another zip file today of detail shots of the bezel artwork, thanks a ton Rob. He sent me a close up of most of the characters, so I have something really solid to get a start on now.
I posted on the BYOAC forum about the white Mr. Do sideart, as well as the Mame Artwork forum, so hopefully someone will be kind enough to help me and to know either someone who owns one, or have photos or artwork already themselves. We’ll see, it is a tough find.
First Mr. Do! photos from Rob Carroll
Today was a great day. As promised, Rob sent me some photos today. Now, in the past, when I have asked for photos from people, they have sent me one or two, but Rob knew exactly what I needed. He took the time to send me a ton of photos, almost 30 in total of the whole sideart and details of each of the individual pieces (apples, monsters, ice creams, etc.) He even sent me photos of the kickplate, control panel and bezel, which was pretty sweet too.
However, the machine, like the one Walt has, is pretty worn on the sides, the sideart barely visible in parts. I hope to work from some of what he sent, but some is too worn to even work with. The one really awesome thing is the bezel. The Mr. Do bezel has some of the exact character drawings on it that are on the side. The condition of the bezel is pristine, so I should be able to draw characters from there, and arrange them on the sideart. But I don’t think all of the characters on the side are on the bezel as well, so I think I will need to get some other supplemental photos to help me piece meal is all together.
It will be a process, but Rob has been great so far, and I was up for the challenge. I only know of two of these machines owned by collectors, so it is a miracle that I got any photos to begin with.
Before the night was up I traced the apple as best I could see in the photo. I asked Rob for some additional detail shots, and he said no problem.
