Title: Metal $LUG Control Panel Needed ASAP
Post by: Visitor Q on September 03, 2008, 08:35:33 am
Ok, I’ll admit it. I am lazy when it comes to this but if someone can design me a professional Metal Slug control panel I would be willing to pay. Serious people with skills need only apply unless you can point me in the right direction.

Thanks.

A stand-alone panel, or the panel needed to complete an arcade machine?

I need artwork for a Mameroom Control Panel.

This is the CP I am getting (more or less), so I need artwork for the top of it. I am not worried about button cut outs.

This CP will be attached to a full size cab when complete.

I am looking for something along these lines...

I'm not sure if there is just stand alone metal slug art since it was always in neo geo cabs.

As far as side art goes I can always use poster art.

I got a friend who can professionally print this stuff so I just need the artwork is all.

Tons of good poster art here!

I mean more or less what I am trying to do here is put together a Metal Slug Themed Cab.

The CP is the high priority because I need to lay the overlay down before the buttons etc. are cut and then plexy glass is laid on top. So until I have my CP overlay, I really can not move forward with my project.

I think really I would be happy if I could just get a good copy of something like this to use for my setup. It would make a nice overlay (I think).

sigh... If I can't do a Metal Slug Theme I guess I will shoot for Space Ace or Dragon's Lair.

Can you help? Ideas? Thoughts?

Maybe if I can find a big image file online I can have my friend print it.

Looks like the control panel measures 35” width by 5 ½” height

I'm sure the Metal Slug theme is doable...  plenty of art out there to work from.

How much are you looking to spend to have your art created?

Well that depends on the quality.

It's hard to couch the price by saying it depends on the quality. There are a good number of talented artists on the site and I'm sure they'd pm if you were soliciting with your desired specs. Vector, illustrated, etc.  That said, good art will not be cheap because it takes time and a good artist makes a healthy living.

^^ all true.

For example, that one example was a hand-drawn, hand-painted control panel...

All understood but I need some sorta quote.

Honestly I know a few professional artist but I don't think they would know much in the way of Metal Slug. :P

Understood and that is why I asked here.

My original post was to offer $$$. I just need an example from someone who is willing and wanting to contribute.

Even put my little $ in SLUG for the title. ;)
