Where Time Stood Still Advert
 
Anyone know if the following advert is available without that bloody yellow banner in the top left corner?

I don't think so. I've seen it without the green logo in the right corner

Actually.. that might be better :(

Not my call but a bit of Photoshop or something else to make it shine would be a plus, and as you may know Galahad is lazy :) (me too)

I needed the comic strip panes clear of anything, and i've found it on that World of Spectrum Kamelito linked to.

I want to do a basic intro using those comic strip bits, scene setting stuff before the game gets going.

Not having much luck though, trying to get it to look nice for A500 is a chore :(

stainy 26 January 2014 00:11

Gotcha :) I understand what you're after now :)

Dunny 26 January 2014 00:16

Any good?

Tedious but it'll probably be worth it when its done.... probably!

Dunny 26 January 2014 01:53

Glad it's ok - took me about an hour, that did - working from multiple sources.

Reido 26 January 2014 02:39

Looks cool, great work!

Greyfox 26 January 2014 12:21

Superb work there mate, if its okay to attempt to slice and convert these into Amiga pixelart for use with the Amiga intro for Galahad, but cant do them today, will be over the next few days.

Dunny 26 January 2014 13:39

If you're asking me, then feel free :)

The central image is available as a standalone artwork - seen it before but can't find it now. If I do, I'll send it over here.

Aha! It was preserved on WoS - not as large as my other image, but seeing as you're scaling down to Amiga size, this should do nicely:

Thanks Danny already had the box art for it already, and have converted it to 320x240 orientation , just got to pixelate it now and some pixel colour reduction.

Thanx again :)

Greyfox 26 January 2014 18:21

this is a test image for the comic strip idea of the first image of the above poster..it's in 16 colours and I have it in Iff format too..so let what you all think of it :) I think it turned up really well imo.

http://i42.tinypic.com/sgpapi.jpg

I removed a lower text strip and will add it to the next image instead as, there is nothing to gap the images together with, from the first to the next with and a single text strip wouldn't look good, unless, the text strips appear first, and then the images underneath..if you get what I'm saying.

Holy fuck, you've done a good job on the portion of text you removed :) Fucking top work :) :)

If you're happy to continue and then send them to galahadfairlightatyahoodotcodotuk, that would be great, much better than my effort :bowdown

Greyfox 26 January 2014 22:37

Thanks mate, they have been sent to you now, plus a bonus or two :)

and just to show the rest of you, here is the strip now completed.

http://i43.tinypic.com/25f7wwl.jpg

next.........:great

Dunny 26 January 2014 23:09

That looks excellent! The only thing I'd do is to scatter the "items" throughout the strip rather than wedged into that blank space, but other than that it's excellent :)

Ah yes, the second text caption needs a more distinct top border at the top-left, and the shadow on the bottom left edge has a white border.
