Title: My new art. Opinions?
Post by: Trebeck on November 28, 2008, 12:22:03 am

Hey all,

Just wanted to show you all my art for my new cab.
I was going to stick with only arcade characters but thought I should pay some respects to Nintendo and Sega.
Did I miss anyone important?

"Did I miss anyone important?"

For whatever it's worth,

 who's important to you?
You have Link in the middle, Q-bert, Donkey Kong... Looks good to me...

As for the side art... I think it might be a little plain.

Awesome! I'm not usually a fan of montaged artwork but that is so cleverly implemented. Possibly the best example of "classic" artwork  i've seen in ages!

This looks good. Just one question though, why Luigi and not Mario?  ???

Thanks for the feedback all.
Yah back when I was a kid I always played Mario bros., but I always wanted to be Luigi.  Course you couldn't be him unless you had two players.  Drove me nuts.  besides, Mario always gets the spotlight  ;)

Very nice indeed.  I was trying for a similar look in a idea I was doing.  Created some characters using pixels in PovRay and trying to create a retro feel that had been updated.  Played around with it but never got it right, may go back at some point.

I really like how you gave them some depth by showing them slightly turned and rotated.  Also drawn above a sleek graphic, with shadows. 

Any chance of sharing some of it?  Also given any consideration in trying to make a MALA layout?
