Blanka Fighting Stick (recycle project)
emphatic:
That paint choice is spot on! :applaud:

Settled on what artwork to use! I changed my mind on the montage piece. Just too time consuming to colour and effect. I went with an easier approach (yet in the end, more suiting).
I took the electricity sketch and gave it some colour, added a few things here and there for the electrical effect. I like that it's somewhat chaotic, bright and up close and personal.
Here's a photoshop mock-up of what it's going to look like.
I'll probably do another pass on the artwork, clean up a few spots, but it's practically good to go. I have a plan for another addition to make this baby look like a Blanka stick should, but I'll keep you guys in suspense till next update. ;)
:cheers:

The new artwork looks pretty fierce but IMO I would go with the montage, (of course I have not clue or any skills in photoshop) .
I'm sure it'll look great at the end. (Will stay tuned for that "addition").
:cheers:

Awesome work Opt2Not! Keep it up! Love the art, but I would prolly move it down a slight bit. Blanka's eyes look like they may be getting clipped a bit.

Wait a sec...is that...Ryglore?? *rubs eyes* :D
Thanks man! As for the eye-cut-off, I will be making sure the artwork shows continuously through the clear seimitsu buttons I have, so the cut-off won't bother me. That, and the placement of the image is somewhat related to my special "addition". ;)

Thanks for the comments jmike. The montage was just a bit too much work that I wanted to put into this thing. Colouring all those Blanka's would have taken too long, and really wouldn't have had as much of an impact as this image does. This image feels more "loud" to me.
Besides, this was supposed to be a quick and clean project because I'm really dying to get rolling on my Robotron restoration! :dizzy:
