Just wanted to show off the art my friend made for my marquee.  It looks sweet.  He tied it in with the cp art I posted earlier last week.  Check my other posts to see that.

For those looking for my source art,  I will post links soon.

Thanks,
madk

BTW-My cab is near completion.  Hopefully I'll a site setup this week.

Daaaamn that's some nice font effects!  If you can, ask your friend where he gets his fonts, cause their helllla good!  Nice touch on the colors as well, good use of the borders around the fonts.  That'll look killer on top of your mame cabinet along with that control panel of yours.

Primed the cab and threw in my old 21" to test.  I just finshed applying the first layer of black semi-gloss tonight.  I also managed to kick over a gallon of paint. :(  Yeah...great.  But it looks really good.  I'll be getting my 27" this friday and hopefully wrapping up construction!  Thanks for all the help and comments.

Holy crap thats a big control panel!

The art looks great but don't you think the characters are a little....... um....
BIG?!?! Looks out of scale to me........


Hopefully I'll come into some money soon and i can finish MY cabinet. I'd rather be critiqued to death than not have anything to be critiqued about!  ;D

I'm not sure where he got the fonts.  He is a photoshop wiz and pretty big into 3d design.  I'm pretty sure didn't use anything stadard.  If I find out I'll fill you in.

The CP is big....but being a 4-player cp is has to.  The art is pretty overscaled but that is all a part of the design.  Check out my other post for a closer pic.  The cp is 48"x20".  Thanks for the critique. :)
