Vash:
Well, my original plans to either have a friend design my panel art for me, or to ask someone on Deviant Art if I could use their image have both fallen through.  My friend is busy with school, and most of the people I asked off of Deviant Art were either unwilling to let me alter the picture, or unwilling/unable to re-render the image to 300 dpi and my requested resolution.  So, I guess that leads me here.  What's another possible solution for CP art?  There are a ton of gorgeous back drops on members MAME cabs from here.  Did you make them on your own or commission someone to do it for you?
Dazz:
I would like to know this too...  I've previously purchased generic artwork from Mamemarquees.com since I needed it fast.  3 years later I now want to re-do all the artwork and just now starting to look around.

Try reading the adverts on the artwork forum. Loads of people, myself included, produce custom artwork.

Here's what I did....

There are tons of cool-looking, ultra-hi-res pictures from the Hubble Space Telescope.

Go find something you like for a backdrop (nebulae or deep field shots are great choices) and use that as the background.

Then just add whatever other graphics you'd like on top of that.

Here's mine:

Lower Deck Artwork


And the (nearly) finished article.  I have yet to add the spinner and flight stick to the upper deck for Discs of Tron!
You can see my 1P/2P and Insert Coin buttons as well as my small admin buttons on the vertical part between upper and lower CP decks

How many cabs have space based background art. Isnt it time for something a bit more original. Its so cliched. Lightning  , space, grids and fire. Theres some amazing artwork coming out of this forum, real insperational stuff. We have etched plexi art, hand carved 3d artwork, airbrushed work, custom character art. For the love of god dont end up with one of these space based CP's just because you cant produce anything else  :dunno
