Fast Food

It has been a while since my last upload. Here I have my take on the chaotic Fast Food from Telesys. So much of this artwork was pure composition from a wide variety of sources. The most notable aspects of the front box art feature prominently in the marquee. The hamburger and pickle in the lower left are cut from a catalog scan. The remaining food items are treated with GIMP's cartoon filter in an attempt to match the texture and granularity of the catalog artwork. The sprites in the wall poster on the left took a while to compose because they move so fast on-screen they leave blur-trails. The trick was to put the mouth in the path of the food item, advance frame until it just collided with the mouth, and capture an unblurred but half illuminated sprite, which could then be color corrected. The calorie count label on the right is taken from a scan of the manual. It was a bit of a challenge trying to map the screen area to minimize intrusions into the playfield, but I am happy with the result. The portions in the vicinity of the Telesys logo and the score are actually backdrop, so that when the BURP and CLOSED images scroll, they are unobstructed. Hope you like it!
