Thanks. I found some nice, big wallpapers:

The image is about 17" across normally. I have to double check in photoshop (I just slapped in on there quick last night to see if I liked it, I didn't use the true CP dimensions), but I think I can blow it up to 26" across without it getting to ugly.
emphatic:
Here's what I do:
Open the Image size window and set it to 300 dpi and make the picture the size you'll need, use the "bi-cubic sharper" for the resize option at the bottom
Hit ctrl+L to bring up the Levels, use the color picker to set the black and white first, then the gray (if you can find any in that pastel art :D )
(optional*) Use "smart sharpness" to enhance the lines in the artwork
Use "surface unsharpen" (or what it's called in English) and juggle the sliders until the artifacts are gone (don't worry if the lines are a bit blurry)
Now use "smart sharpness" again (be careful so the saturation isn't too much)
*I often won't use the first "smart sharpness" step unless the resize makes the picture too blurry for the "surface unsharpen" step.

Thanks for the tips. I'll give it a shot tonight after work. I might add some white circles with blue outlines around the buttons, and something around the stick. Maybe some text too, X,Y,B,A, COIN. I want to try and bring the art and the buttons together somehow. I'll post the results.
emphatic:
I really think it looks very nice as it is right now except for the semi-showing logo to the right. If those button plungers are clear, why not add the letters to them instead of possibly cluttering up your artwork?
Here's a font that goes well with Futari art btw: http://www.dafont.com/toon-town-industria.font

Another change of plans... I still like the the Mushi Futari art, and will probably still do that. But, I found some BEAUTIFUL large DonPachi images inside my DonPachi theme for Hyperspin. I can't resist using them to compliment my Donpachi Marquee. So I think I'm gonna do put something together for that first. I'll probably get the mushi CP printed out too, with an image for a marquee, so I can change them out if I feel like it. I'll post up tonight hopefully with some DP stuff.
