Build an OND designed cab 'Metropolis'
vaderag:
Afternoon all.
Just getting on to designing my artwork... i think i've decided to go with a bubble bobble vs street fighter theme (which seems to have boiled down to a Taito vs Street Fighter - see below) but just wondering if anyone has a base photoshop file for this cab design? Basically just looking to get the shape right?
I was trying to use the pdf to get the outline and scale but it's working out horribly...
Any help appreciated!

I'm actually wondering to go with more of a new vs old theme or a 'gaming generations' theme or something - same idea but with more varied characters...

Try this in inkscape. Do check the dimensions though. It's an SVG - so should open in other vector programs - but again - do check the dimensions.

Thanks, will take a look tomorrow!
Is there a reason everyone uses vectors as opposed to at resolution photoshop files? I mean, I know what I'm doing with PS, but would need to learn again on any vector software...
stigzler:
To be honest, I never got my head around the whole dpi/resolution business for using bitmaps for sideart (and this is where you would use photoshop). Thus, my presently working with vectors. You could use Adobe Illustrator for vector work too.

Thanks for the link mate - your cab is actually a different shape to the standard OND build (it has the cp built in as opposed to OND where it's kind of 'tacked' on)
But it at least gave me an idea - i just made a canvas the right size, drew around the OND design and used the selection (which is for all intents and purposes a vector) to scale up to make a mask on my canvas...
