For the side art I made some stencils using NASA font that says "GAME NOT OVER" I will paint it on with red paint.

If I were you, I'd take those pics down quick before the guy you swiped 'em from finds out and tries to track you down.

Yellow is the new "Orange"  ;) ;D

Nice cab too  :D

in that case you should just paint it like this



granted that is a Caprice, but they are practically the same thing....

Cool, I like that marquee alot.  Any pics of the sideart mentioned? What is the CP going to look like? Also, let's see some more pics of those holes! Now THAT is craftsmanship!

I'll try to draw something up for the sideart to post. I'm not going really graphic on it just the words GAME NOT OVER in read and a few orange lines is what I got in my mind right now.

and since I don't see this as being my last the side art would just get covered up by the next machine to sit beside it....

as for the CP artwork. I havn't really got anything solid yet still kicking a few ideas in my head.

I am going with a two joystick 3 button layout with a trackball in the center. I'm not a big fan of frankenpanels

Yeah man, If you'll look closely at the picture where there's supposed to be a "proof" you'll notice (however slightly) that although its a definite picture of him, the cab has been photoshoped.
I'm positive

Actually, the pic of HIM looks photoshopped.  It's realistic and all, but when you blow it up super-size, you can see the faint pixellation around the edges of his body  ;)

Plus he doesn't own pants that color ;D

well seeing how it's raining ice outside right now there will be most likely no chance of any real progress during my next 4 days off...

I did however take my coin mechs into work with me last night and get them to accept both quarters and tokens..

Train Wreck

Rush Hour Accident

Judging by the ass hats who lose their mind and can't seem to help themselves from gawking and rubbernecking at these 2 items, your thread should shoot to the top in number of viewings.  Barring that, try "Fast Lane To Disaster".  It'll cause everyone to think that you're speeding towards one of the other two ideas above.
