Nice 'n bright. Love the colours. Is that Japanese manga?

[Turambar]

It is indeed.  The characters are from an anime called One Piece.  This is going to sound silly, but at least a couple of hundred hours went into this panel.  I knew that I wanted a One Piece themed cab, but finding artwork was difficult.  One Piece manga is released weekly, and at the end of each issue is user-submitted art.  One of the guys who redoes all of the lines and does incredible coloring had posted on there.  His deviant art name is DEIVISCC .  I gave him this image from One Piece 628:



To print at game on grafix, the work is supposed to be 300 dpi.  The image I gave DEIVISCC was 72 dpi.  He put in a couple hundred hours of work that ended up being over 1600 layers to reproduce the image in 300 dpi glory. 

My brother-in-law took his work and then arranged it and designed the control panel.  I am incredibly pleased with the result.

Ge'bus! that is a lot - i certainly know the length of time recreations take so that is a while (i think my Truxton recreation was around the 100 hours)
When comparing the original to the re-creatation you can certainly see he had to use some imaginative shading.
Good work i hope the cabinet comes out well.
