Title: will pay for help
Post by: iamscottyb on April 21, 2015, 10:59:13 pm: I'm re-doing my bartop (weecade design) arcade and I'm having a hard time with the side art. I'm going for a TNMNT theme old/new style. I designed a marquee already but I'm struggling to design the side art that I like with my limited PS knowledge and creativity. I'll pay If someone can help me out here. Anyone interested?

Or you can contact one of our talented members directly. I've only dealt with Snaake with most of my projects. He has his own artist for hire thread.

:cheers:

That's where I got my control panel art. Best part about TMNT is there's a ton of awesome artwork out there.

You have to choose between realistic and cartoonish. I prefer cartoonish myself...

There's something to be said for realistic, too...

Post by: unknown on May 21, 2015, 09:43:10 am: Just an opinion: Pics on the marquee show proper warriors with weapons. Side art shows TMNT like toys you buy for your kids.
For me they contradict with each other.
