Title: Need Help for Sideart
Post by: Superdude on September 17, 2003, 03:56:56 pm: I have been trying to create a generic sideart for my cab but I am failing. I wanted to create a 17" by 27" image with the Mame Logo and some game characters. I wanted a picture as if the characters are busting out of the machine through a hole. I seen something similar to that but I have not recieved an okay to use his sideart. Can anyone help create this sideart? Everytime I try to my characters become VERY pixelated and not very good. I admit, I suck at art.

Thanks!

Very nice artwork, however I was looking for something that had multiple arcade characters like DK, or Pacman, or Qbert. I have several characters that I can cut and paste but when I do for large artwork it is always pixelated badly. BTW Snake your artwork for the Marquee was VERY COOL for the PACMAN/GALAGA/DONKEYKONG PCB Cab!

tell me which onces you want on your sideart and I will make something for you. ;)

Streaching image shouldnt be a problem since its all vector.
