Opinion on Fantasy Marquee
« on: December 03, 2008, 03:07:08 pm »
The Marquee is a Final Fantasy Wallpaper I cropped that matches my red trim and black bartop theme. With some Photoshop added text.

Thoughts?

No :(

I kind of liked him walking away with back turned as if to say follow me (cheesily into the cab!) but it would be nice to get one of him facing forward for comparison.  I will look for front facing one and photochop it in.

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

Seph looks a little squished in the first one, though I've always liked that picture.

cool, the text isnt doing it for me tho, could you make the text the full width of the marquee with the characters in front of it, partly masking the text if you get me

Didn't cartoonize or vertically center the text, but you mean more like this ?

I went with a cartoony variation of the above. I like the engulfed in flames look and may do that for an alternative marquee when I tire of this one :)
