Where do you get inlay artwork for shutdown casinos? (1 Viewer)

[Carnth]

I have Jack Cincy 1s I want to customize and relabel AND I want to murder some RHC chip and make DiamondJacks quarters.
I also want to make Sterling Casino Lines $500s. I already have murdered chips ready to go, but no inlay artwork.

Are the art files for all the Jack Cincinnati denominations available to download somewhere?

How about DiamondJacks? Is there files of the $1 inlay that I can import into Photoshop or the GIMP so I can make alterations?

How do the label makers (Gear, ChipUp) get these files? For example, how does ChipUp ( @dickthebaker ) create such great looking Indian Grand inlays? How does @Gear recreate Jack, HS and other casino inlays?
Do they recreate the inlay themselves "by hand?"
Do they scan in existing chips?
Did they steal the files from GPI headquarters?

I can already hear the "why don't you just buy the inlays directly from them?"
I did reach out and I was told inlay artwork doesn't exist or that I would have to wait a year+.

Both Gear and ChipUp are awesome. I already have custom labels from both. But I want to take a more DIY approach on these projects. Either that, or I'm being impatient.

I've recreated Jack & Horseshoe Cincinnati, Aladdin, old-school Flamingo, Tropicana Evansville, and several others.

OP, you can definitely hire a designer to make, or see if someone is willing to share existing artwork for a fee.

Or you can try your hand at recreating the design yourself. Some will be harder than others, like the Sterling Casino Lines have full illustrated backgrounds, and would likely be difficult if you don't have the graphic design skills. It would definitely be a challenge for me personally to recreate that.

I had a feeling it was done "the hard way."

Yeah Sterling Casino Lines has that beach with water washing ashore and some trees. There's a lot going on there. I can imagine it would take a lot of time to recreate that.

I think we could have saved each other some time had we collaborated.
