The clock is ticking now on finishing up this project. --- End quote --- Chubby is a word I don't use (read afraid) in front of my girlfriend right now ;) As you said, the clock is really ticking right now... I've got max 10 weeks and so many things to do... - install the fence in the backyard for the dogs - install shelves in the baby's room wardrobe - finish the cab ASAP..... :cry: I remember Javeryh stop posting for 3 weeks when he got a special package delivered by his wife... --- Quote from: theCoder on September 17, 2007, 03:06:24 am ---Fantastic job on the marquee BTW. Much better than your first couple of drafts. --- End quote --- Thanks, I really have to complete the artwork, because this is what is stalling me from starting to mount the controls/electronics in the CP. My goal is to be done with it sunday night. I think I'm almost there. Here my latest trial (also posted in the artwork section to get as much feedback as possible). This time I went with some stainless steel effect to match the cab sides. The background is kind of yellow/brown to match the buttons/trackball. As for the lizards, I'm not 100% sure about the color... If any of you have any advice, please let me know. I really suck at choosing colors... Feel free to post your advice here or in the artwork forum (this is for you bfauska ;)) Jay :cheers: |

In keeping with form, I'll reply here instead of the artwork post. I like the steel look better than the other look I think, but it seems to work better in the circles than the words. In the words it seems a bit too "patterned" or regular. Of the lizard color choices I like them best in this version and earlier versions, not the version with them both the same color. I think the scales look pretty cool. In the last version with the "rust" circles and text (looked like gingerbread w/ powdered sugar to me) the scales had lines separating them that looked too fat, this one is better I think. I just went back to the artwork thread to double check something and saw a glance of where this started out, WOW, it's come a long way, I think that any of the last few versions would have looked nice printed and lit, now it's just fine tuning and polishing to greatness. |

I agree with bfuska the title seems off someway. Keep the rest as you have it now. Lock it if you can. ;) Try to make the title look like the buttons, a transparent yellow. If you don't like that you can try something else, but don't change anything else. Congrats on the little bun in the oven. :cheers: TTFN Kaytrim |

The thing that scares me the most about this "bun", is that my mother in law will come to help us for a few days... ;) --- Quote from: bfauska on September 20, 2007, 02:54:19 am ---I like the steel look better than the other look I think, but it seems to work better in the circles than the words. --- End quote --- Thanks bfauska, both circles and text are using emboss + chisel. This gives the impression there's some anti-aliasing on the text, especially on the top of it. If I go with the stainless finish, I fix this by either increasing the contrast, or by using a "smoother" emboss. As for the marquee, I did some trials to find other metal effects, but didn't end up with anything good to post. :banghead: I did another trial with some sort of yellow translucent plastic effect to see how it would look like. However, I'm not sure how it will look once lit... the yellow color is a bit off, but you get the idea... So the only thing left is to decide the effect on the text/circle. - plastic look - stainless look - other suggestions? effect tutorial to try?? So far, I have a preference for the stainless finish... I need to make up my mind for Saturday morning, because I'd like to complete the artwork for Monday... Jay :cheers: zzzzzZZZZZ |

I think I like the yellow best. I like the slight transparency of it too. |
