Opinions Wanted: Final CP Layout

[rdmustang]

It took me over 6 months but I think I'm happy.  I'm about to send these off to get printed (mamemarquees.com) and want a final opinion.  Anything I really should change?  Feedback is greatly appreciated!

If it makes you happy, that's all that matters.

It looks a little cluttered to me, but see sentence one above.

Way too messy for my taste.

[(+_+)]

Very nice work, but I'd have to agree that it is cluttered. Perhaps a more dedicated theme or smaller characters so that it frees up the landscape a bit.

I am normally fussy about these things, but I really like this project.  Excellent work.

I agree that whatever turns you on is what you should keep, but heres my perspective anyway:

Yoou might consider just not printing something in order to open up a little free space somewhere.. for contrast's sake.  Tough descision I know cause I can tell how much work went into each peice, but Ill say this: the marquee is my favorite peice (I really love it.) so definately keep that, but maybe think about leaving off the sides and/or the bezel and/or the cp. (the bezel matches the least with the other peices, so that would be my first suggestion)
I like the look of your art, but once its on all visible surfaces of the machine, I imagine it looking kind of repeditive.

Visual overload!!!

It looks great on the computer screen but once everything is printed to scale it will be... well, overkill.

But it sure does look cool!!!

Each to their own and all that but I think it looks a bit too busy. I built a two player machine based on the Donkey Kong cabinet as it's my fave game and I love the look of the Nintedo cabs. Most of the people who use my cab at parties have one or two games that they remember so wouldn't know who 98% of them were on your cab.
If you're doing it for yourself and love it thats cool but if you expect people who aren't fanatics to appreciate the art stick to one game or just a M.A.M.E theme.
As I said though each to their own, If you think your art's ready, get it printed!

I know this has nothing to do with the art, but I was curious .....

I noticed that the yellow buttons are with the yellow-looking dude and the green buttons are with green-looking dude, however, the blue buttons are with the red dude while the red buttons are with the blue girl.  It seems the "blue" buttons should be with the "blue" girl and the "red" buttons should be with the "red" dude.

I clearly have no idea who these characters are since I am old

Thats a good point. If you just wanted P1 to be red and P2 to be blue, you could always just flip the image horazontally and have evil on the left for once. Youd have to flip green and yellow too.
Thatd look pretty cool

I really like your marquee image! The CP is real cool too, think I'd ax the little images and just go with the larger semi-transparent (X-men?) ones. But that's me, the side art would be a bit too much for my taste too but it looks all right. Guess you'd have to decide where in house you are going to put it and how well it'll fit in/stand out, depending on your objective.

Would have to agree with Unclet's button color observations, that's the kind of thing that, after someone points it out, will haunt you for years, everytime you look at it.

Otherwise, it looks like you've spent a lot of time working on this and you will no doubt enjoy it almost as much when your not powered up and playing games on it.
