Dragon's Lair Themed (4-player) Cabinet
« on: May 28, 2009, 04:56:43 pm »
Been a lurker for a few weeks now, just wanted to say hi & show you what I'm working on.  I'm more of a graphics guy then I am a wood worker, so I'm having my first cabinet built (as I type actually) by the guys at Mameroom.  I plan on making a bartop next on my own, then graduate to another full size. 

Here are the final custom graphics I designed for my new cabinet.

  Looks great, sometimes the best part is creating the artwork!  Keep us posted!

Awesome artwork. Will you be sharing this or keeping it for yourself ?

Artwork is looking great. The CP is spectacular. Is the marquee 3 sided like the original? If not I'd enlarge the name and Daphne to fill up some of that negative space on the sides there. Really looking good. I love the thorny vine trim.

Overall it's really well done, I really like it. The monitor bezel oozes style. But the thing I really, really, really like is the marquee. :D

Can I ask how long it took to make all that amazing artwork?

Your art is great.  Why 7 buttons for P3 and P4?

Very very nice.  When are you going to start the wood?  I am anxious to see this one get moving!

Very nice, I think that the bezel is a particularly cool touch!

For some reason you do not see custom bezels on most nice cabs that have good artwork.  :dunno

Man, for a long dead thread, it sure is getting alot of attention!   

But what about its creator?   :dunno
Id really like to ask him about his work.
It would be beyond perfect for my cab!!!

Wow, this thread still lives!  Thanks for the kind words guys.  I had the extra button for a Neo Geo layout.  That button never gets much use though.
I have had my finished machine for a few years now, I'll take some pics & post them if anyone is interested.

Thanks,
Robb

yea for sure post them - now that's what i call a resurrection from the dead...
My art is always free for you to download and modify as you see fit...
Why?... because I could never find any art I loved on the net. So I played around with Photoshop and wish to share it with the arcade community.

;-)    Im glad this thread is getting the recognition it deserves.

Even though I wont be able to apply this art to my project cab, its a pleasure to see it as it was intended.

Enjoy Bro,   you've done a great job.
