Gamester's ARCADE GALAXY
Donkey_Kong:
I like the artwork for the cp. What's wrong with the characters, I mean aren't the characters what this is all about? Maybe do some tweaking on the rays...try to make the red in them glow more or something. Other than that, I just don't know.
Gamester:
Okay, so here's another try on the artwork. I toned down the light rays, added a bit more glow to the characters, muted the color inside the control areas, and added a similar glow around the control areas to give it a more cohesive look. Also fine tuned the positioning of the characters a bit.
I definitely like this one better than the last, but I'm going to keep tweaking.
I'm including the previous version in this post too, for easier comparison.
Let me know what you think...
Ond:
I was waiting for your second go at it before commenting. The second version is better, here's how I'd improve it further. Lower the highlight in the background to be directly behind the characters, not in the middle...the highlight makes a second focus point in the image...marry the two togther, I'd also increase the contrast on the dithering to the edges so that the edges especially the top are darker, or at least darken the back/top edge of the CP. If the characters are going to be the focus, then make them really pop - even make the central characters larger - lift them up a bit. If was playing with the image I'd fade the milky way parts a little s well, a subtle but interesting background will strengthen your theme..not distract from it. Ok that's my two cents worth...I've really got to get into the garage and make somthing..must...stop...reading...forum...arrrrrgggggg :lol
Gamester:
Ond: Thanks a lot for the input. You make very good points, and I will definitely give some of those changes a try. The only thing I'm struggling with a little -- and the reason the center of the image also has a glow -- is that the trackball will be RGB illuminated, so besides being an obvious light source, it will also be a focal point for the panel. I thought it made sense for such a substantial light source to cast a glow around itself.
I haven't really figured out a good way to make the trackball an integral element in the artwork (or if I should even try).
Thoughts?

Maybe have the rays come from the trackball?
