WIP at the minute.
Have a guess which title my wife came up with  ::)









As you can tell I'm no PS guru.

Cab will be for fighting games, shmups and pinball.

Just be careful a crowded pic might look really small on a Marquee so you might want to take a few of the people out of the crowd.

Depends how big your marquee is but I like the style of the less is more ones. Title might be good for you, one I am going to use at some point, " Action Freeplay ", just a thought.

Also I don't like the modern art of fighting games especially SF , because the women look either A, very young or B, have incredibly masculine bodies. I don't know about you but a woman having hands like a scaffolder does nothing for me.

Having completed the artwork for my CP I've had to redo the marquee artwork to match. Marquee is still WIP at this point, resembles CP too much?

CP (FYI not the actual finished high quality print, just run it off my epson using a4 to test fit) :











and the new marquee:

I thought it was really funny, I showed my wife and she didn't like it.  I figured it would at least get a grin from her.   :dunno

Can't please everybody.  Looking great btw!

Bad ass, now you just need some blue and red led buttons for either side.

Grounds 4 divorce has to stay I'm afraid, finished artwork has been sent to the printers :)

The buttons are rgb led so will look great in red and blue :)
