welp. i didn't feel right copying so I spent most of the night building another from scratch. Partly because I don't think I could get the resolution needed for a printout but mainly because I wanted to do something on my own. So here it is. I found the vector background on the web and then did "borrow" the halos. Vector stuff is hard to find. Is there a way to convert raster to vector easily? |

I like your second attempt better. A lot of people here like the space theme and some of the space cabs blend to me. And you should personalize your cab as much as possible. Vector stuff is hard to find. With my cab, I wanted a very arcade-y style so I used a lot of vector art found here: http://vectorlib.free.fr/ I used some vector art here, but made my own theme to make it mine. But this probably won't work with your theme. With little photoshop experience (like me), either you have to take the time to learn and make something you like, or hire someone to do it for you. There is no way to convert raster to vector easily as far as I know. |

What about a minimalistic approach to a cabinet? Here are some examples: http://lifehacker.com/398343/turn-your-broken-laptop-into-an-arcade-cocktail-cabinet http://sparkbugg.wordpress.com/category/furniture/ http://ikeahacker.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html http://www.uphaa.com/blog/index.php/geeky-furniture/ :cheers: |

Here is the third one im working on. This one I like the best I think. Still need to add labels (or not) player 1 / 2 etc etc. Think I should continue across with the characters or keep them bunched at 1 and 2 players.??? Kinda like teams. ;D This one took about 8 to 10 hrs so far. Cutting out backgrounds suuuuuuuuuucks. :cheers: Dirty, Thanks for that link... really got me thinking and though I could not use much vector from there, I was able to get high enough res images to start this one |

Lookin good! I personally like the last one the best as well. I like what your doing with the two sides of characters, looking like they're ready to battle. My CP is similar with the separation of the red vs blue. As for the labels, thats a personal preference thing. I don't use any. |
