Hi, I'm new here, and I felt like showing some of my artwork that I hope to use on my arcade machine. First, I'll show my Marquee.

I made the text using adobe illustrator, and I colored it in photoshop. I traced the characters from the actual game sprites using illustrator, and once I got coloring I was satasfied with I put a glow effect around them. The backdrop came from mamemarquees.com. Now, onto my side art, which isn't finished yet. I plan on using an alternate image for the left side of the machine, but I haven't decided what it will be yet.

Even though he's never been in an arcade game, I decided that Solid Snake would be best canidated to put on the right side of my cabinet. I took a scan of the box art from the origina Metal Gear featuring the Michael Beihn lookalike Snake, and traced it in illustrator. Now, I'm coloring it in photoshop. I suppose that soemday I could make a shaded version that's 100% vectors, but I haven't gotten that good at coloring in illustrator yet, so for now I am just coloring a very hi-res non-vector version.
Any thoughts/comments?
