Wow! Awesome work! Thank you very much!  There was a cool LCD game called "Monster Panic".  I would be very happy if you could do that too.

THX!

Thanks, buddy!

I have credited you as 'bdove67' in the 'readme' file. But tbh with you, I would have preferred putting your real name there. Please let me know if you wish me to change that.

Awesomeness at its best guys.

im super busy next week or so but gonna put testing these at the top of the list. 

@bdove67 coincidentally I just come across your videos this week

and was blown away, asked around if the Retroarch themes stuff ever got released but didn't look like it.

Those RA backgrounds are great

Yeah. This one is really fun. Maybe later if you are in the mood.

Anyways - Thanks for your really cool work!

[MADrigal]

I will release 59 upgraded games AND one surprise. Not a new game, but something I have in mind which will be cooler than a new game

@Accorsi

Hi, the Bomb Fight game would be ready for release - except the backdrop which is still uncomplete.

Do you have a chance to add a tree to the left hand side of the wallpaper -  as per the above discussion?

Cessate il Fuoco Isidoro & Sonja

First attempt at one of the Garfield ones

[MADrigal]

Haha I love it! Gorgeous!

My comments:
1. the cat is Heathcliff, not Garfield!
2. the burglar should be a cat, not a human
3. the fish at the left hand side look too much "real" (not cartoonish) because of their shades, whereas the ones at the right hand side  look too "flat"
4. the cat casts the shadow, whereas the burglar and dog don't
5. if would be cooler if the fence could be a little bit lower, so the handheld would not fit entirely within it. They look sort of "aligned" - that's something I am not a big fan of of

I sincerely hope you can assist with the above. Sorry for asking too much...

This is Heathcliff (Isidoro in Italy)

 

This is the burglar cat

 

 

Worst case scenario, if you can't find any usable (high-res) images of Heathcliff and his companions, we could use the wallpaper without any characters, just the garden with fish, bowling balls, rubbish bin, etc.

 

 

[bdove67]

Apparantly beer makes me have no knowledge of comicstrip cats! LOL.. Will be back with changes.. After I get some sleep.... (

This is getting closer I think?

 

[MADrigal]

LOL

The cats are right now! Very well drawn

And thanks for lowering the fence, too.

Would you please add shades to the cats (some dark orange to Heathcliff and grey to Sonja) to make them look, and casting shadows on the garden (cats and bowling balls) ?

Thanks a lot!!

[MADrigal]

And oh one more thing.

Would you please make the pen a little bit thicker on the cats, to make it more consistent with the background lines (which are thicker) and the general look of the cartoon? Shadows should be solid black, too.

[bdove67]

Part 2

Decided the background was a bit blurry and noticed the fence on the game is a picked fence.. Add solid shadows added a bowl full of fish and bones... 

Not sure about the solid shadows..

 

[MADrigal]

Thank you for that, bdove67, this one is very cool.

Unfortunately the shadows are not what I had in mind and not typical of cartoons.

The cats cast a solid shadow behind them, regardless of the surface behind them, this makes them appear like a flat sheet of paper. The shadow should be cast to the ground only, generally it has to be hand drawn to somehow match the cat's shapes.

Same about the bowling balls and the dish (the dish's shadow is not bad after all).

I will make an attempt myself, would you kindly zip the original PNG version of the bowling ball? I do have PNGs of the cats already, and as per the backdrop I would utilise the previous one (blurred, but very much cartoonish style).

Thanks

[MADrigal]

This is my attempt with the wallpaper for Caccia al Ladro.

Small (1366x768) and large (1920x1200)

[bdove67]

I almost used that Phineas and Ferb tree on mine.. 

Looks good!
