Nice 'n bright. Love the colours. Is that Japanese manga?

It is indeed. The characters are from an anime called One Piece. This is going to sound silly, but at least a couple of hundred hours went into this panel. I knew that I wanted a One Piece themed cab, but finding artwork was difficult. One Piece manga is released weekly, and at the end of each issue is user-submitted art. One of the guys who redoes all of the lines and does incredible coloring had posted on there. His deviant art name is DEIVISCC (http://deiviscc.deviantart.com/). I gave him this image from One Piece 628:

To print at game on grafix, the work is supposed to be 300 dpi. The image I gave DEIVISCC was 72 dpi. He put in a couple hundred hours of work that ended up being over 1600 layers to reproduce the image in 300 dpi glory.
My brother-in-law took his work and then arranged it and designed the control panel. I am incredibly pleased with the result.

Ge'bus! that is a lot - i certainly know the length of time recreations take so that is a while (i think my Truxton recreation was around the 100 hours)
When comparing the original to the re-creatation you can certainly see he had to use some imaginative shading.
Good work i hope the cabinet comes out well.
