This incredible artist has done it again! Check out David Peck's ("rotordave") latest creation, Motorhead Pinball with art from Brad at this year's Texas Pinball Festival. Brad not only did this...
Highlights
- Motorhead homebrew will be at Texas Texas Pinball Festival with three units total being built (one each for David Peck, Matt Kemp, and Brad Albright)
- Matt Kemp, who does coding work for Spooky on Halloween and Ultraman, is handling the code implementation for Motorhead
- Motorhead is inspired by the album cover from Motorhead's 'Bomber' album with a WWII fighter plane dogfight theme
- Brad Albright previously collaborated with David Peck on a Led Zeppelin re-theme before Stern released their own Led Zeppelin pinball game
- Brad Albright transitioned to full-time freelance art around 2015, coinciding with rediscovering pinball as an inspiration
Notable quotes
“The loudest damn show I've ever seen. Truly loud to a scary degree. I'm a big metalhead so Motorhead is of course close to my heart.”
“It's like a retro modern vibe. The complexity of the rules is dialed back a little bit so the average player can find it accessible. The layout is a little bit more of a retro design, but it then has modes built into it.”
“We were doing things very much to our own taste which you know for better or worse makes it very unique. The artwork itself is kind of a throwback, taking inspiration from Centaur, that black, white, red kind of thing.”
“Pinball is my girlfriend, baseball is my wife.”
“I say that because you've done work with the Texas Rangers, the World Series champs. Yeah, thank you. Yeah, I've been very fortunate to do posters for the Mavs, the Stars, and the Texas Rangers. Not yet for the Cowboys, but I say yet.”
“Once the code is implemented and it actually works and it triggers sounds and call-outs and music at the right times and integrates with the artwork, I'm as much of a fan of this project as anybody else.”
“Back as far as I can remember, I was finger painting or drawing crayons or whatever. But I always did love pinball growing up. We never owned any, but in the 90s, you'd always come across a Twilight Zone or an The Addams Family.”
