Jay, I noticed that there are two 6 button layouts. The outer 6 and the inner 6. Just to make sure, I wanted the inner 6 button layout (Japanese layout).

Thanks!

Put me down for an art print + cut and an 8 button plexi for the TE.

Jaywang, please add 2 artwork for me, i’ll send you the files, so you can send it during the order.

From the website for artwork.

*** Please Note that adding an Artwork Print and Cut can delay your shipment by a few days, depending on interaction time. ***

*** And please DO NOT ask me to procure your art for you. I can help make some minor modifications if need be,

but I simply cannot allocate the time to search for your art. ***

     I can help you print and laser cut your art for you. Just add to your cart. After checkout, a seperate email will be sent to you with further instructions on providing me your art.

I am only assisting you in printing and cutting your art. Please make sure you have permission from the artist before submitting the art to me for printing.

And as a heads up, when procuring your art, get it as big as possible. Small 30kb JPGs will not work. We’re talking dimensions of at least 1200 x 900, or at least 300kb sized file. And give it to me without the guide box, button outlines nor panel outline.

Update!

My credit card was charged $212.27 CAD (for an order of $180.79 USD, see jpg)

http://justin.j.huang.googlepages.com/plexiamex.JPG

This equals an exchange rate of $0.8516983 CAD to $1 USD.

Assuming no more additional charges are made (ie: duties), here is the final cost break down of what each of you owe me:

I’ll take payments as cash. I’ll leave it up to your discretion with the rouding but if you try and jew me, I will hold out!!

It will be easy for me to meet up with the Sauga people but as for Rey, we will have to work something out.

DM · May 22, 2009, 11:58pm

Your links don’t work Wango.

Jay_Wang · May 23, 2009, 1:40am

sorry

Albedo · May 25, 2009, 3:22am

Wait so how much do I owe you? All of the picture files you posted don’t work. :wasted:

Jay_Wang · May 25, 2009, 7:07pm

i’ve updated the picture links in my post above

Albedo · May 25, 2009, 7:56pm

Thanks Jay! Payment sent via PayPal. Please accept and let me know if you got it via thread or PM.

As for meeting up to receive the “goods”, I suggest we all meet somewhere that is accessible to people in Sauga/GTA. I was thinking at the Playdium parking lot… It’s close to Square One (Easy for those taking transit). So we’ll set up a time and date where everyone or most people can come and maybe after wards if people want, get a few money games or casuals in at Playdium!

For those of you who don’t know, yes Playdium does have a Street Fighter IV machine there. It’s exactly like the one at P mall, except it’s set to 3 rounds instead of the usual 2 rounds. I think it’s 6.0 credits a game… not sure how much that equates to, but you get the idea!

Just an idea, what do you guys think?

Jay_Wang · June 2, 2009, 8:07pm

Update - See email below from Arthur.

This requires your attention Albedo and Gunman. Please reply and let me know what your choice is.

Albedo, I saw your payment on paypal. I haven’t accepted it because I would prefer cash so that I can put that towards paying off my CC.

=================

Hi Justin,

My apologies that your items have not shipped yet. I had some questions about your artwork that I sent an email on… but out of haste I sent it to the wrong email! I didn’t discover this until recently the person I sent it to sounded a little confused. Then i realized I sent it to the wrong Justin. So it’s my fault your items are delayed.

But I had some questions about your images.

As much as I can try and cut with the restrictions placed upon the art, there are a couple that will definitely show issues.

[attention gunman, read below]

For example, the “8 buttons - TE Art - gunman.jpg” file… well aside from it being a HRAP3/EX configuration but named TE, the black outline left on it is inaccurate. The buttons are just a tad off, but the most noticeableis the turbo area which is off to the right a bit.

Basically if I print and cut this one out, it will look horrible. Is there any copy of this without the outlines?

Actually, are there any copies of these images without the outlines because white edges are likely to happen. I’ll try to find a matching color to fill the background so the edges won’t be noticeable.

The “Rey2” and “ReyFei” files should be fine. The Chun Li and CO images will have a bit of edging although I can try to fill the “CO” white outline to black.

So those are pretty much the issues. I can still print them all as is, but some of the issues are pretty noticeable and I know I wouldn’t want to spend money on that. Please let me know your thoughts.

Again, sorry for the messup in delaying this email to you.

Thanks,
Arthur
