First off, sorry i havent posted any pics of my cab yet. my camera is horrrible!!! suffice it to say its a projectArcade clone, black, space themed with no name as of yet.

my isp wouldnt let me upload the real 30"x18" version

basically it follows a tutorial on drawing stars and planets. ( though im not nearly as good as this guy )

i found here http://gallery.artofgregmartin.com/tutorials.html

found some stangely modified tie fighters? and inserted them as opposing sides.

anyway...ideas? critiques?
