Hey Community,

**UPDATE**

Unfortunately because of my full time jobs demands lately I Not be taking anymore commissions. I may come back in the fall/winter 2010 to make some more art but until then I'd like to thank all the support and kind words.

Any new art I do on my own free time will be posted here and on Deviant Art:
http://trebeck.deviantart.com/

Thanks,
Beck

**UPDATE*

This Galaga marquee is an example of how I can redo the original graphics of old and make them look amazing again with a few 3D tricks.

These are not all finished pieces but give you a quick idea of my style.
The pixelated look is a favorite of mine but I also like to "redo" the characters of old using the same colors and design layouts. I can also create interface graphics, intro movies and sound effects to go with your theme. Here is an example of my own personal cab's interface:

So if you want your cab to look the best it can send me a message and we can work out the details for what you have in mind. I will give you a quote depending on the complexity of the piece. For some proof of my professionalism have a look at my personal portfolio at:

www.darkwoodstudios.com

and my cab's site:

www.trebeck.ca

Thanks all,
Ryan

* Update *

I am currently working on a set of pieces that I will be offering for prints on Deviant Art. Might be something cool in there for your game room! I'm going to complete 10 of them before I start selling but I will post what they are here. Partly to keep ---my bottom--- moving on this project!

Sick cab! Love that intro, so simple but effective! The whole things looks sexy! What FE are you using, MA?

I agree - very nice work!

I'm also curious to know what FE you are using (it does look like MA) and if it is easy to set up with the intro movies and stuff. The switch between games is almost instantaneous!

thatitalian · « **Reply #3 on:** January 29, 2009, 01:25:07 pm »

Yeah it is MA, read it on your website!

Love the way you made the cab zoom in and then back out from emulator selection to game selection! How the hell did you do that!?

MA is such a quality FE, it is so easy to setup and more importantly to use! My friends always say it is self explanatory, you turn it on and you instantly know how to use it!

jeffremiller · « **Reply #4 on:** January 29, 2009, 08:03:11 pm »

I would love to hire someone to do the FE theme for my cab... interested?

Hey jeffremiller PM sent.

Thanks for the praise guys,

Yah I started with Mamewah, Mala, then went to Maximus Arcade and I've been very happy with it. It doesn't have as many bells and whistles as Mala but for some reason Mala would crash on me 50% of the time. Something to do with the marquee images being loaded. I could never nail it down. MA is really slick though.

ivwshane · « **Reply #7 on:** February 09, 2009, 12:44:09 pm »

How hard was it to setup?

The one thing I like about mala is that it is so easy to setup as well as to create your own custom theme.

StarControl · « **Reply #8 on:** February 09, 2009, 06:05:59 pm »

I tried Maximus, GameEx, Mala, Mamewah, & Hyperspin. Of all of those, Maximus was by far the easiest setup. If you thought Mala was easy, you'll be amazed at Maximus. I ended up going with Hyperspin because I love the individualized themes for each game, but Maximus definitely had easier setup.

Trebeck · « **Reply #9 on:** February 09, 2009, 08:17:08 pm »

Yah, Maximus Arcade isn't option heavy but it is really solid.

Been doing some fun work with Uncle Monkey and his cab. Check it out:

Here's a new experiment I have been playing with over the weekend. This might turn out to be part of a t-shirt

NICE WORK!

sean-o-mac · « **Reply #13 on:** May 10, 2009, 07:08:16 pm »

The Galaga is simply awesome.

Yvan256 · « **Reply #14 on:** May 24, 2009, 02:15:02 pm »

Wow, I really like that first "Arcade" marquee. Reminds me of that Futurama arcade episode.

Trebeck · « **Reply #15 on:** May 25, 2009, 03:57:19 pm »

Thanks guys!

Here's a commission I did for a friend of mine. A little tribute to Phantasy Star on the Master System. Loved that game.

Trebeck · « **Reply #16 on:** June 11, 2009, 08:14:36 pm »

Here's my latest crayon drawing.
Wanted to do a little tribute to Final Fantasy on the NES. A black mage escorting a paranoid Moogle.

Here's another example of how you can modernize the classics. One day I think I'm going to make either a DK or a Mario bros. cab and I think I'm going to do this technique.
The last thing I need is another cab

I'd love to have something like that hanging on the wall, all 3D like that. Made of wood or acrylic.

Absolutely gorgeous. Incredible work.

Here's another on-the-side tribute of mine.
Loved the Legend of Zelda on the NES when I was a kid. Totally blew me away and kept me from the arcades which was a hard thing to do. Hope you like it!

Love your work !

omg, I am a fan of your work, fantastic, have you ever done Bob & Bub from Bubble Bobble

Trebeck · « **Reply #31 on:** October 23, 2009, 02:35:41 pm »

Hey funny you should ask!
I just finished a project for a super nice guy (who needs to post some pictures of his cab!)
It was a fun one where I got to completely redo a bubble bobble cabinet's art. Although I think it was actually a joust cab.

* EDIT *

Here's a few shots of the awesomeness and the link to the thread. Check it out!

Great job on the Bubble Bobble. Would love to see a picture of the finished Cab!

Does the Bubble Bobble guy have a thread on here for his Cabinet?! ..or any pics atall?

thatitalian · « **Reply #38 on:** November 09, 2009, 10:20:03 am »

Ditto, that needs to be on a cab! I can't stress enough how awesome that artwork is.

That is the type of artwork that draws you to a cab. It is simple, colourful, but not overpowering. Seriously bud, you did a A+ job on that, if I was the owner I would be so pleased with that effort.

Trebeck · « **Reply #39 on:** November 09, 2009, 03:08:13 pm »

Hey thanks for the kind words thatitalian, I really appreciate it.

Does the Bubble Bobble guy have a thread on here for his Cabinet?! ..or any pics atall?

I keep bugging him about it and he said he will soon. I'll link to it from here as soon as I get word.

Next projects include zombies and jungle ruins....
