Some new sideart for my cab. (opinions?)
« on: November 08, 2004, 08:35:00 pm »
As some of you may know, I have MK on one side of my cab(cpo, marquee, sidearts) and Street Fighter on the other. Here are some new ones Ive made up. Im keeping the scorpion one, but cant decide between the two Street Fighters. The logos, are 70% opace so you can see underneath them. What are your thoughts? Changes?

Well, Ken would match since it's also a fire theme.  If you want a contrasting color on the other side you could use Ryu.  They both look good to me.

Those look good.  You may want to oversize around the edges and inch or so to make sure that the final print will cover the cab.
Next I'll be on fries, and that's when the big money starts rolling in.

Both look so good you cant wrong with either one but I like the  contrasting colors a little better. Are you going to carry over the idea to the control panel? Excellent work!!! 8)

They all look great. Smaller logos would be good.

I think you may wanna just scrap the logo's altogether...the super large characters speak for themselves.

Nice job!

Thanks for all the kind words guys. So you think lose the logo's all together? I added them, cause it kinda looked bare. I also like the contrasting colors, but I like ken more than Ryu. Hmmm what to do what to do.

My Marquee, and CPO are already on my cab. I already had side arts printed, and put on. But they are just too small(22X18) I want the whole side of the cab covered ;). As I stated above, my cab is half Street Fighter characters, and half Mortal Kombat characters. MK on the left, SF on the right. Here is my marquee, and CPO if you were wondering. Also, I have made the sideart images an inch bigger than the actual cab, so Im covered with extra when I go to put it on. ;)

DO NOT LOSE THE LOGOS!

It will look like some cheap generic artwork. With the logos it looks like it rolled out of the factory that way.

Trust me, words on artwork makes it look way more interesting and professional. Other than that they look straight up awesome!

Yeah its a tough one. I like the logos, cause without them it just looks too bare. Im actually selling this arcade to my brother, so I guess Ill leave the decision up to him for now. Then Im off to build me another one.  ;D

Can you tell me where these images came from? Those first ones of Ryu and Ken are exactly what I'm after, minus the Street Fighter writing, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Matt

oh ma gahwd ! tasty job !
Ken is Amazing, the space he takes up is totally dynamic
and yes Ryu's backround is more stimulating , he rocks
ken would look great on that backround too

heres a thing, Ryu needs to go to the right a bit, i guess
to make his weight feel balanced within the frame
so i think choose Ken

maybe you actually want to print another one
despite the expense and you
just want an excuse,

other than that ken, your bro can make the room the contrasting colour

tastee !
should be ... could be ... what it is baby!

I could really use those red flames for a project of my own. Where did you find them? Would you be able to get them to me somehow?

Just my opinion but I think the font on the marquee is too recognizable as being from the Far Cry logo.

How did you create those sideart images?  What's the resolution?  How big is the file size?

Great work! I like the Ken sideart better, but agree about the colors on the Ryu one being better. As for the logos, the MK should stay, at least the dragon. And if you're doing that, you might as well keep the Street Fighter too.
