Been a lurker for a few weeks now, just wanted to say hi & show you what I'm working on. I'm more of a graphics guy then I am a wood worker, so I'm having my first cabinet built (as I type actually) by the guys at Mameroom. I plan on making a bartop next on my own, then graduate to another full size.

Here are the final custom graphics I designed for my new cabinet.

Looks great, sometimes the best part is creating the artwork! Keep us posted!

Awesome artwork. Will you be sharing this or keeping it for yourself ?

Artwork is looking great. The CP is spectacular. Is the marquee 3 sided like the original? If not I'd enlarge the name and Daphne to fill up some of that negative space on the sides there. Really looking good. I love the thorny vine trim.

Top notch

very cool, also liked the cp layout and off course gfx

Overall it's really well done, I really like it. The monitor bezel oozes style. But the thing I really, really, really like is the marquee.

Can I ask how long it took to make all that amazing artwork?

Hello, I am interested in this artwork if your still up for a little commission still.

Great job by the way!!!

Your art is great. Why 7 buttons for P3 and P4?

AHH HAHA! Chuck fell for the noob necro bump!

Gawddammit! Seriously? That's it, I'm reviving that stupid watch thread again.

Very very nice. When are you going to start the wood? I am anxious to see this one get moving!

I can't tell if that last post was serious or a joke.

Any day now.

Very nice, I think that the bezel is a particularly cool touch!

For some reason you do not see custom bezels on most nice cabs that have good artwork.

Wood & Movement

Just spat my beer!

Man, for a long dead thread, it sure is getting alot of attention!

But what about its creator?

Id really like to ask him about his work.
It would be beyond perfect for my cab!!!

dirkthedaring · « **Reply #21 on:** June 07, 2012, 12:23:04 pm »

Wow, this thread still lives! Thanks for the kind words guys. I had the extra button for a Neo Geo layout. That button never gets much use though.
I have had my finished machine for a few years now, I'll take some pics & post them if anyone is interested.

Thanks,
Robb

iyouwas · « **Reply #22 on:** June 07, 2012, 12:24:37 pm »

The artwork looks just as good on the cab as I'd expected - very nice!

Hey Nephasth...

The ONE time someone comes back after years of inactivity...

EvilNuff · « **Reply #28 on:** June 08, 2012, 09:07:02 pm »

Love the artwork, great job!

iyouwas · « **Reply #29 on:** June 08, 2012, 10:05:34 pm »

;-) Im glad this thread is getting the recognition it deserves.

Even though I wont be able to apply this art to my project cab, its a pleasure to see it as it was intended.

Enjoy Bro, you've done a great job.
