Custom Taito "Frame Off"
YoGaBaR:
@ivwshane
Now tell me how you really feel. :'( I did not think it was that bad.
I was thinking of putting the original markings on it but I am not sure I like them. I would make the original markings black and (blue, green, or purple).
@IG-88
Thanks buddy :cheers:
ivwshane:
Dont take it personal, you are off to a good start but throwing up images like that really cheapen a product. Sure that's just my opinion and if you really like that style then go for it but most people post their projects here because they want peoples opinion on something (it is the Internet and it is a public place).
I only offered that advice because if you look at all the projects on this site all the cabs that received high praise, none of them had their art laid out like that.
Maybe it's just me but if I was about to do something with my project that wasn't the best idea I'd want someone to let me know.
YoGaBaR:
Im not upset. Just caught me off gaurd with the whole crap mame website. I do want opinions, thats why I posted the material on on here. Maybe I will revise the drawings and go a different way. I just dont want the cab to be solid black with no art.
But for now I have to get it built.
ivwshane:
I hear you. Artwork can make or break a cab. I've seen ok cabs go to complete awesomeness after the artwork was applied (see marjtins street fighter cab). I've also see ok cabs go to crap after bad artwork designs were applied (which is why I gave you the crapmame link).
Once you get to the artwork stage I highly suggest looking up waveryder, he is a member here and has some serious art skills that will make that cab look great!
I'm almost to the artwork stage myself and I'm hoping it will take my ok cab to awesome (or to really good):D

You know the current artwork is pretty cool.
If it were me I would sand, prime & fill that puppy nice & smooth. Maybe buy the same stencils for it & do the color scheme of your preference & change the "TAITO" to something cool like "TOKEN".
Just a thought, it would have clean, custom & funky retro cool feel to it you know?
Damn I want to have like 20 different mame arcades now but that just defeats the purpose.
