That's my opinion on the matter. I can't help it if you or anyone doesn't like it. I do believe this is a public forum, and I do believe I'm well within my rights to express my opinions. I'm not here to win a popularity contest.
I do feel most of the "body" of artwork IS junk. Why you may ask? Much of this so-called "artwork" in MOST cases is nothing more than a "scanned bezel" “marquee” or “instruction card”. The only “artwork” I can see being involved consists of photoshop "touch up work" from a scanned image. While all that may take time and effort, a bezel in and of itself is hardly what I would consider worthy Mame artwork. That is not to say those efforts are not appreciated. Digitally restoring old or obscure bezels, instruction cards, marquee etc is to be commended!
Antolin’s artwork in my opinion is what Mame artwork should be. He has put together ALL the graphic elements in such a way as to give people an immersive "arcade like" gaming experience.
It’s also my opinion Antolin’s artwork will most likely never be apart of the “official” Mame artwork because of an old school mindset as to what is considered Mame artwork.
People don’t like change, and I believe Antolin’s ideas and efforts will be put in the “maybe" closet
and forgotten.
