Possible CP art. Comments? Suggestions?
« on: March 20, 2007, 06:34:14 pm »
Since I've got a lot of blank space on my CP, I figured that I could probably afford to have some CP art.  That said, I decided to go non traditional.  Here's what I have so far.


1 - Olive/Pink (black t molding)


This colour combo actually works better than I thought it would.



3 - Sakura (black or white t molding)


Clean.  Simple.



4 - MFP (black t molding)



I'm not actually going to do this.  I just wanted to see how many people would get this one.



5 - Dancers (white t molding)



So very pink......


6 - Bamboo (black or white t molding)



Soothing.


7 - Taito (black t molding)



Self explanitory.  A royal pain to draw.




Why no number 2?  Because number 2 sucked.

#3 and #6 are the only ones in these examples that I really like, however, the composition is really uneven in both examples. In #3, the composition is really heavy on the right part of the CP, but there's almost nothingto bring your eye over to the left side of the CP, graphics-wise.

That being said, I still like #3 the best.

Good starts though. Some arrows around the j-sticks would really help these to pop.

I like both 1 and 3. However, I agree that 3 looks to be uneven.  #7 definitely has the strongest 'traditional' cp vibe a la taito. However, if you're looking to go nontraditional, then I say 1 or 3. 1 is so simple but that color combo looks awesome, it's simple and clean, and I like that silhouette look. maybe if you could even 3 out a bit. just my two cents. great job though really.

I like #4, "The Bronze". :)  #3 is my fav from the rest.

You've taken a very non-traditional approach to designing your control panel.  I like it.
