Still pretty sure I would like it better without any character image but you dig it - I can respect that. It does look better than Chun Li in full force on the first ones but does #8 work with Chun Li flipped to face towards the buttons? She is pulling my attention to the right and away from the control panel as it sits now. Also, how does it look with the Taito logo placed between the black and white lines instead of sitting directly on the black line?

I'm with N3wt0n. I'd leave the characters off.

9)


10)
My plan is to take the 6th option with no images and only the vewlix and taito logo and make this the 2nd CP and the one with the character on P1 side:


Or I dont know, I might take a break from this until after the Thanksgiving holiday. Luckily I like the overall design enough to print with or without the characters.

Option 6. No characters. Looks sweet.

How about half way between 9 and 10.  I like the opacity with the steel showing through, but size her somewhere between those two, closer to size of 1 and 2 but down lower and a little to the right.

Sticking with the minimalistic look and going with no characters. 2nd question, with or without stroke around the vewlix logo?

As brad808 says:
  :laugh2:
thought of this part of the movie with that response for some reason.
 
Was thinking the same, ill save that extra stroke for the marquee. Happy Thanksgiving in the states btw!  :cheers:

Looks good. Normally I'm never a fan of how people incorporate SF characters in their projects, but yours is tastefully done.

Props to Rablack97 for keeping it real, and props to atxscarface for taking it like a man and politely telling Rablack97 to ---fudgesicle--- off. Both sides showing how it should be done.

Done working on this for a bit, im expecting an order of fan guards for the back and will add LED lighting a bit later. Thanks rablack97 for calling me out on the first CP construction.
Also, changed the background image to the CP artwork as the original bright steel look did not mesh well with the sides. Went with a darker steel with its accented stripes flowing horizontal which better matches the line artwork for the vewlix style.

Tried my best with what I had, and I think it came out pretty decent. Ill title this thread completed once I add the LED lighting and fan guards. Ill try to post video gameplay if anyone is interested, but with all the professional projects going on here its getting hard out here for a brotha!
