Arcade Slugger (metalslug inspired,my first 2P cab)

<< < (2/6) > >>

EMDB:
Logos / text on marquees should be large to attract. The second one is way too small, even the first one may be bigger. Try putting the words behind each other instead of below each other. The company logos are very nice but too small and too detailed for a marquee. Maybe the heads of two characters of the Metal slug series on the left and right would be nice. I attached a very quick and dirty mind spin.

mrPiklz:
hey EMDB
cool!  :)
was going for a subtle marquee idea as the light logos will shine thru nicely as its not strictly an all out metal slug cab design per se  (well at least back then it wasnt meant to be)as the cp art alone ,when you see it, will def show any user who the fav game is on this cab :)  but now that ive seen your mock up its not such a bad idea for the marquee - I may have to make a new one with large logos !  cheers. mrPiklz




each and every character I wanted for cp design especially the big bosses needed to be stitched (some not even having much of ref point to stitch  other done from google image cache )back together!took about a week @ 2 hrs a night to finalize-ish  the design and stitch the sprites ,many thanks to that sprite-resource site http://spriters-resource.com/  for having all those original sprites grabbed from the game, i literallly had to stop myself as it would never stop id be adding more and more characters!

mrPiklz:


another printer at home test with a first draft of cp design to see where i want the main characters, kinda feel I'm gonna have to add loads to have that 'wheres wally/wheres waldo' feel to it ,kids are are love looking at /finding all the tiny people!  (its already been done the final design im just uploading the images now!)

ps soz bout pics alot of them were done on a decent mobile but in low light, its the only way at the time otherwise i wouldnt have been able to document properly  of how i did it :(


slighty more recent version another print temp test.. next the proper poster print!

mrPiklz:


priming white then grey for the car spray paint next....


originally thought id paint some black metalic spray paint (bmw cosmos black)for just the cp in the end i decided to stop that completely ,while it looked amazing,it was  too long to dry and the fumes and expensive and i only have a small area to wokr in and i had to finish hurriedly!! And most people here knows you dont rush paint jobs.


now i've gone the carbon vinyl route with some custom laser cutting, I have this top cover as a spare now,  I guess (for a future mini cab?)..

mrPiklz:


ultramarc trackball bevel in blaze blue plastidip, whats great is i have more colours to test as i go with the colour choice of tmolding (which has just arrived today ,sweeeeet)etc so i could change this whenever gotta love plastic paint!..
