Re: Full Color Hot Toys Base Decals - Check em out!
Ideally thats how it should be, the real problem that stands in the way is just not having files ressed up enough for a 3 panel display that would span around 30"-40". Ideally you want everything that goes to print to be 150-300 dpi, and 90% of google fodder is 72 dpi.
The chances of finding artwork to support say...the 89 Batman Batcave, in high res, being clean and crisp, and no people in the scene to have to clone out is basically...not going to happen.
I had to spend a few hours cleaning up the 89 bat logo, because even something as simple as the logo was too low quality for print.
Places like HT get styleguides and access to raw files from the studios, and can request custom art, but we just have to take what we can find & manipulate.
With the stark setting it was not even large enough to fill out the 15x15 size, so thats why I want to test the print, but it definitely won't go larger.
I think I can manage some awesome looking single panels, but as much as I'd love a tri-panel I don't think artwork available is going to support it.
In cases of things like jungle backdrops, where its not specific imagery from a movie, it's possible to find an image large enough on say...istock photo that would work, but the $40 Id have to spend on buying the image would get passed on to the buyer.
