Okay, just finished a cocktail cab, and am starting work on a Golden axe 2 cab. No worries, it was a converted one, and I don't plan to do any more damage, or touch the sideart. Anyway, here is the first draft of what I'm planning. No patented Zakk frankenpanel (TM) this time, since this one's for me. Just looking for ideas, here are two (very rough) renders of what I have in mind. Oh, and the actual project is here:

I like the cp layout but I think you should keep it "Golden Axe" themed. Have weapons and armor strewn about as artwork. Dragons, swords, scantily clad women riding dragons with swords. So on...

Might be a good idea, hard to find good sized images that are directly golden axe related though, so I might have to look at Boris images or something to fill that huge panel space...hmmmm...

If you could get one of those pictures that used to adorn the sides of vans in the late 70's that would be awesome--reminiscent of the conan the barbarian poster ;D

or perhaps this... 8) ;D

Hmm, those are pretty good...
I had done one up, just the marquee for Goldenaxe 2 except with the "revenge of death adder" removed, and custom text in there. I'll see if these new images "fit" of it they would indeed be to 80's van-ish :)
Maybe I'll just airbrush on all the artwork...hmmmm

like this, although -much- higher quality.... plus I have to add markings for the controls.

Not that it's realy relevant, but, alt-0153 (on the num-pad) gives this result:

Hehe subtle reminder of the dangers of copyright infringement? Wonder if that applies, considering this is an actual golden axe cab??

Fan Art? Just look for Larry Elmore. He did a majority of the artwork for 2nd ed. God.. I just admited I'm a super-geek. LOL

I can't figure out if that's impressive or embarassing. ;) j/k j/k j/k Don't hit me...

Bit late but I have to agree with the others - the CP art posted looks nice but doesn't go with the sideart imo.
I'm a big Golden Axe fan so looking forward to seeing the finished job :)

Okay, how about this (something different on the lower banner in the final one, but this might be a good start)

I've decided to donate this project to charity http://www.mariosfightagainstals.com/
I'm pretty happy about this decison, but it means I have to step up the progress a lot. If you have any last minute suggestions this is the time to give them :)

I think you're on the right track now. The art you have now fits the theme perfectly.
Good job on going with the charity.
