I'm building a mortal kombat vs streetfighter cab and I plan on trying to paint one side with the raiden mortal kombat 2 cab design and the other with a character from streetfighter. Unfortunately, I can't find a suitable picture to copy so I'd be very grateful for any suggestions. Ideally, it'd have the same kind of style as the raiden picture. Thanks.

that is the age old issue - finding the perfect picture. I spent some hours dedicated to finding good street fighter art to trace. Subsequently never found. Good luck with your hunt. :dunno

Ah well, thanks anyways... Torn between trying to use the original streetfighter 2 poster and the megadrive cartridge cover... Decisions, decisions...

if you post examples I will give you my opinion!
for what it's worth, I like art showing ken and ryu before their arms got thicker than tree-trunks. the pictures where they look like a bunch of roid-monkeys kind of ruins the illusion that they are nimble martial artists, and gives the impression they are goons in karate gis.

Here's a link to the old megadrive cover art. Tbh, not overly happy with either... V difficult

How about something like this?

Interesting. Definitely has more of the right feel to it. Like zangeif in that poster... Ah, so many possibilities.... Think i'd like something with more vibrant colours though, if you know what I mean? The electric blue of the megadrive cover is my favourite bit of it. Not sure if using that would suit this picture but who knows...
