I'd like some sideart for my cab with a black background that has characters from all kinds of famous games, and nothing too game or genre specific.....
You know like something that has pac-man, sub-zero, reptile (maybe different characters on each side. like pac-man + subzero on one side and then ms pac and reptile on other..just more acharacters)
I like all the mame artwork out there but the thought of putting 'mame' on my cabinet is atrocious

Try the Arcade Art Library

already did
it mostly all says Mame on it or isnt what im looking for

There's a guy named Roger that posts stuff on eBay sometimes featuring a lot of characters for pretty reasonable prices.
I'll see if I can find out what his ebay handle is.

I like the one at the bottom of this page:

I like both of those but with the first one I don't know who some of those characters are and they stand out pretty big, like all the characters in the lower right hand corner.
the second one is too genrespecific
-
I know that one of those characters is a custom one made by felsir.

Uh, I didn't know my artwork is used in a marquee that is selling for $65! :-\

I would just respectfully request that it is taken down. I'm sure they'll comply.

I've been thinking about that. Two things have come to mind:
#1: I traced the artwork from a comic book cover. It was my time and labour that made this picture a vector, however I didn't create the original artwork.
#2: the seller notifies the buyers where the source images where taken from. This means that a buyer can also download the images themselves and create a similar compilation of characters.
#3: I uploaded the image myself to the vector art repository. However my intention was to have people use the artwork for free.
Concidering these points, I found that people can make their own compilation of characters for free using the resources available (the sources is mentioned by the seller). If people are willing to pay $65 for the printing service it's okay with me. It would have been nice if the seller asked it first though.
In short: after some thought, I will not mail them to take it down.

Oh yeah, I forgot that it was from something else.
In that case, might as well forget about it, they have as much right to it as you do (none)
:)

They're charging for printing the thing, what actual graphics they stick on it is incidental really. I don't think $65 dollars is expensive really considering how much it costs to run a wide format printer. For example, the list price for a 44"x40' roll of adhesive vinyl for the thing I use at work (an Epson 9600), is like
