Molotov Cocktail Underlay: Opinions Please
« on: May 05, 2005, 03:22:56 pm »
Here is what I've come up with as an underlay for my new project.  (Thanks to spidermonkey for the name  ;) )  It will be very similar to Whammocade but with no 3rd panel...the artwork has a lot of similarities too.  So what do you think?

I would make the characters on the corners diagonal.

Very nice looking, not overcrowded. I agree that perhaps the corners characters on more of an angle might look a bit better, but it's pretty sweet as is.

Added some instructions above the control panels.  The original midway underlays had this if I remember correctly.
