There we go, that’s what I was talking about. This is now starting to have that classic cab appeal, I like where you’re going with it. I’m not sure if I’m sold on the starfield version, I’d have to mull it over a bit.
But the ghosts are looking good like that, IMO.
I'm not sold on the starfield version either but I'm not sure I like the blank space and I don't think it will translate when printed.
I'm not sure how to fill the blank space, it just seems to black, but I have a few thoughts I'd like opinions on and other suggestions.
Thinking about any one or combination of these.
1. Add a color gradient to the background, maybe blue to black from the bottom up. Sort of the glow from a Pac Man maze.
2. Add some blue Pac Man maze lines into the background. Maybe just subtle along the back top, back, and bottom edges of the cab.
3. Sprinkle elements from the original image into the blank space. Could add the pill bottles, pills, or box easily. Not sure this will look right if they are just floating in the space, maybe overlapping the ghosts with these elements or vice versa.
4. Color and add an Atari logo in the background. Just the "swoosh" no actual text. As scene on the Astronauts shoulder.
5. Add the cabinets title or some other words to the back ground. The art is called "The Madness of Mission Six" and I'm thinking of calling the cab "Mission Six" (open to suggestions). Could put that behind the blue ghosts head to fill in the top blank area.
Alternatively could put a yellow "MADNESS" in a strong font running vertically behind the ghosts.
6. Could change the entire background to a different color. Dark blue is out because it's the color of the walls where my cab will go.
