I dont have alot of disposible income to hire a graphics artist, i took cg years ago but havent used ps in a decade just playing around with ideas. Some people pride themselves in doing the work themselves even if its shite. Like I said.... those are the two games I remembered standing in line for so dont just want a run of the mill stock art'ed cab. The problem is the next to none' amount of images free to use that i can find over 20mb that wont look like pixelated crap when scaled to these sizes. That matrix background,or stars or, lightning are basically all i can find, same with kitana and chun li. Everyone on the forums knows what mame and hyperspin are but what about people who come overand see it. Might give them motivation to search up on them. I was tired when I did the mk vs sf logo, I dont like it and will change it, probably change a few things but I wont post them here.... anything breaking away from traditional is frowned here it seems. Or my layout is just really that bad.... doesnt matter |

I actually think you did a fairly nice job on the CP art, the "matrix" style background integrates well with the trackball placement. If your two favorites were SF and MC, then I say go ahead, it's you that needs to like it. There are loads of cabs on here that share video game characters and non-arcade related themes and they work well (admittedly, however, most don't >:D). As for the 3 small logos...mehhh, maybe find a home for them on the side art and keep the CP clean. You seem to be making good progress, keep at it and don't get discouraged by some constructive criticism, some other builders on here have gotten harsher criticisms than yourself and made it out in one piece. Good luck either way :cheers: |

I literally only found one or two for each character that was big enough to use. Im using google images and selecting image size as a filter... still not much luck. Deviant art has some good stuff but nothing large enough. Anyone know of any other sources? |

VW was articulate in his reply and didn't cross any line of being insulting. Either don't ask for advice or be grateful someone took the time to politely give you theirs. |

What "irked"(how old are we?)me was saying give up and hire an artist (in more or less words before you start quoting) |
