I used a poster from allposters.com. I think it cost me about $10 including shipping. I thought this was an easy way out considering I am not a graphic artist and my Illustrator skills are nowhere to be found. |

I don't want to cover it up with caricatures, don't want it too loud or too subtle, too geared towards a given game or genre, .... now that I spell it all out, I realize I'm asking way too much! Maybe this is why some people just buy a pre-built cab; don't have to struggle with a million decisions and possible regrets. |

The right controls, moldings etc; and then chuck on some crappy pixelated artwork they found on the net. I been a member here for years and it shocks me how many people actually do great project threads with amazing attention to detail and produce artwork that is contermount to sticking the dreaded "Marble Contact Paper" on their cabs. There are a million tutorials on the net and so much help avaliable on these forums. I just dont believe theres any excuse to just "cop out" on the art. Its just a waste! There is nothing worse than staring at your CP every time you play and knowing it is not what you actually wanted.....it was just free and easy. :soapbox: --- End quote --- My problem is I can't see to beg, borrow, steal or hire anyone to do my artwork. So at this point the cabinet is getting assembled sans art, and I suspect it might be without art for some time. |

Creating artwork isn't like building a cabinet. Building a cabinet you can kind of work your way through, go back and touch it up, and with enough paint and distracting flashy bits it will look good. Artwork, you either have the skill or you don't. No matter how much you polish that turd in Photoshop, well it's still a turd. I had 4 people I know lined up to do artwork and they all ended up backing out. Pixelhugger is too busy (and probably realizes how much work is involved). So I'm jammed! I've got a black cabinet that took a lot of time, effort and money, and no shiny artwork. |
