I'm looking into it fella..lol, but so far it looks like a mail order style job which is very expensive to cover. But if you want the super hires version to get done in your local printers or camera shop etc. let me know. The full size is a3 @ 300dpi

Bloody awesome stuff, and great news on the book fella.. Will certainly have a bit of that.

That is what I was thinking of, an A3 poster. I know mailing costs are ridiculous so your workaround sounds good. As I said to retromod, I think this has potential. Maybe a small logo of RVG and a limited print run with a certificate of authorisation could be done. I am just bouncing around ideas but wouldn't we all like a personal poster of our favourite console(s). I am very happy to pay for a commercial version or in the mean time, I'll go to the local printers, as you suggest. If you could pm me the poster when ready, I'll be very grateful. Thanks.

That looks awesome!  Fantastic image of the Jaguar.

If there is an interest or may be someone is able to organize the sale then we should discuss that here.
I evaluated how expensive a poster is (starting $5) and there are also other forms how to deliver full blown acryl or hard-copied pictures including frames.

Is there a possiblity to organice it here (greyfox, interested to join?) and to market it over this platform?

Digital download only works if a name is on the source media or some kind of protection, else it will spread in A***A** attitude (I may have a solution allowing to authorize and assign personal data to detect any spreading). To offer such a service we must redo the pictures in higher quality and in different colors/styles. Using own devices on the pictures (as I did) is also required to not force copyright issues.

A different style (these are part of my digital painting stuff) but hey...........

They are dead sweet like candy ), I think we could all nearly go into business doing these yourself,..some fantastic stuff being done.

@retromod , I would to consider doing something like this at some stage, but I'm very busy this time of the year and I am dedicated to producing painting for my new book I have in the works at the moment and working on my second issue of Atari ST gamer magazine and feel that it may collide with this work, but most definitely for future consideration, I would love to get something going here with these.

I'm very interested in your theories of  a solution allowing to authorize and assign personal data to detect any spreading of works, all my work is always very high resolution to begin with, I simply downscale for the freebies

Those do have a different style but they look good.

I more thinking about using pictures created by others. That's why I use only my consoles and not pictures from the Internet (beside the Jaguar picture of course).

for me it is not a problem to setup a website offering those nor offering digital download and for use by individual people only by offering a protection mechanism. I've also a good idea how to offer them as hardcopy on acryl or framed with minimal costs. The main problem is to address the right audience.

Great work @dot.fyre, different style and goes to show how many ways these things can be done.

you gotta be shitting me? :21:

[TrekMD]

Well, if I'm reading that correctly, that is for a canvas of the artwork.  Getting stuff on canvas is not cheap.  That price is not exaggerated for artwork reproduced in canvas, TBH.

okay , fair enough , I'll start this going then over the next few weeks.
