Hi There,

I wonder if you would be so kind and help me, I saw the other day some artwork you completed for cockatil cabs, However now I can not find them.
I think they where fantastic...!!!

There was about five I belive in total, in Motosfish design style.

Would you still have these? Is this somthing that you pass on (Hi res) Or do u charge.

Thank you in adavance, Look forward to your reply

They are posted earlier in this thread. Let me know if you are unable to see them for some reason.

If you email me I can send any of them to you. If you are a patient person I can modify the name for your cabinet, but that'd involve a bit of a wait.

They exist in Adobe Illustrator ver. 10 format and are sized for a standard Midway cocktail. I can send you PDF versions viewable within Adobe Acrobat Reader, however as such they wouldn't be editable or changeable, so if you want to modify them you'll need a recent version of Illustrator.

Hope that helps

Patrick - I just heard back from classicarcadegrafix.com (within an hour or so of my email....at 1AM! Man those people are on top of things!) Apparently their system isn't plauged by the blue - purple shift common in CMYK output. The Tomorrowland marquee I did (it's all kinds of blue) was printed by them and apparently turned out great. I'm dying to see it! Anyhow, I guess that doesn't help with the cocktail top since it's too wide for them. Good thing to know in general though.

Too wide? They print on a wide format plotter right? Why can't they just rotate the image 90 degrees and print it?

BTW, awesome work!! Makes me realize how badly my main Mame machines needs some good artwork.

Hi there!

Thanks very much for replying!
I did manage to see those, but they are only low res, would you be so kind to send me one hi res?
Yes you could send me the Illustrator file. I can open both.
You could even stuff it, if you like. I can open it from here.

The version I like is version 5, with version 4 a close 2nd!

If you could email me these on this address, I would be over the moon!!!!!!!

Your work is great, and you should be very happy that so many poeple wants to grace there tables with you artwork!

Do you do control panel overlays to match?
If so, would you like to do one to match version 5 for me?

May I thank you in advance for taking the time to help me.
Have a good day.

Here is ver. 1 for the control panel design. This is for the single player (narrow end) of the cab. The buttons and joystick bezels/balls are for layout only.

Cheetah - any thoughts before I do the 2 player version?

Pixelhugger · « **Reply #45 on:** April 13, 2004, 04:49:49 pm »

Player one marquee thingie. (To be backlit and installed at a 90 deg. angle along rear edge of P1 control panel on narrow end of cab.)

EDIT: Oooops. Balls will be properly centered within the white trim in the actual file. I'll fix that after lunch sometime.

Pixelhugger · « **Reply #46 on:** April 13, 2004, 04:52:13 pm »

Player two marquee thingie.

Pixelhugger · « **Reply #47 on:** April 13, 2004, 04:54:11 pm »

Two player marquee thingie. To be mounted along horizontal P1/P2 dual CP on wider side of cab.

Pixelhugger · « **Reply #48 on:** April 15, 2004, 04:03:20 pm »

Cheetah- here are a few versions to show alternate treatments around the buttons. What are people's thoughts on the button outlines? Appropriate? Superflous? Do they add to or take away from the overall CP look?

Pixelhugger · « **Reply #49 on:** April 15, 2004, 04:04:01 pm »

And no outlines...

Pixelhugger · « **Reply #50 on:** April 15, 2004, 04:05:06 pm »

And another minor tweak. Changes the 4 way arrow treatment and enlarges the Timewarp type.

froggerman · « **Reply #51 on:** April 15, 2004, 09:31:45 pm »

I like the arrow treatment in the second example better, it fits in better. I don't like the outline around the inside of the buttons. Prehaps try something that only goes around the outside of the button group.

I just checked out this thread, it caught my eye since I'm in the process of doing the graphics for my first cocktail project. I gotta say that the work is impressive! The subtleties in your work is amazing. Hats off to your attention to detail!! Now I have to come up with something cool without ripping off your designs too much

Thanks for giving me a shot of inspiration!

Pixelhugger

I just love the glass orb effect you do... Is there a tutorial somewhere on the net on how to do that?

Pixelhugger · « **Reply #54 on:** April 21, 2004, 06:38:04 pm »

Is there ever! My jaw dropped when I found this.

Nice!

Thanks

Pixelhugger · « **Reply #56 on:** April 21, 2004, 07:36:51 pm »

Subtle tweak. Removes inner outlines from button group.

Coming soon...skin images! WOO HOO!

froggerman · « **Reply #57 on:** April 21, 2004, 07:53:35 pm »

Subtle, but much nicer.

Pixelhugger · « **Reply #58 on:** May 18, 2004, 05:39:49 pm »

Preliminary skin. Obviously a vertical orientation would need to be created as well. The cab model rotates UNDER the reflection. Props to )P( for the alpha channel tweak in the FE!! Looks AMAZING.

Pixelhugger · « **Reply #59 on:** May 18, 2004, 05:40:42 pm »

....and following the yellow detail treatment on the rest of the cab....

SuperRabbit0 · « **Reply #60 on:** May 19, 2004, 10:57:34 am »

One word...WOW!!!

This Timewarp artwork is my favorite for any cabinet, period.

FANTASTIC work. Maybe you'll consider posting this artwork somewhere. I'd use it on my future cocktail plan. I wouldn't change a thing

fredster · « **Reply #61 on:** May 20, 2004, 10:19:32 am »

That's a great cocktail top.

Do you think you could post it on the vector lib in an ai file?
At least the template. I've got a project that I'd like to make a custom top, but I'd like to have a good base template to work off of.

I need either a 300 dpi or an ai file that's scaleable to 32 X 22"

rchadd · « **Reply #62 on:** May 26, 2004, 04:35:09 pm »

i love your cocktail underlay designs. are they available online in illustrator format?

i am currently planning on making a cocktail cab but it will have to be larger that the std pacman to accomodate a 21" monitor, so will need to resize and also would like to make a few personalization changes to the designs.

Popcorrin · « **Reply #63 on:** November 10, 2008, 04:28:27 pm »

I was wondering if anyone here has a hi res copy of any of the cocktail bezels posted by pixelhugger at the beginning of this thread. I messaged him but I'm not sure if I will get a response. He doesn't seem to be too active on the boards recently.

Thanks
