here is my vewlix interpretation. sorry if you read my other thread post about it and me not posting here up until now. i’m going to gloss print and laminate this as soon as i can
the left one is the latest vewlix panel, whereas the right one i think was the first release/beta panel.
sorry for the low res
pm me if you are interested in a print (sorry i dont give away psd’s)
I am highly considering doing the MGS or Okami one, simply just because I wouldn’t have to mess with the bezel and the trim…but other the other hand, the Megaman one just looks uber, lol.
I want to make it where no one else is like that. Too many people will do similar SFIV character ones, and Vewlix. I am going to break the rules and put art of a game that isn’t even a fighting game, lol.
Take just the rounded rectangular art, not the white edges on the side. Duplicate the layer, scale it down a little bit smaller than the original. Put a stroke on it with whatever color, then lower the opacity of the image itself so then the outline is the only thing showing. Then just align it so it is equal on all sides.
Rather than scaling the layer (which results in the curve looking wrong on the inside), a more accurate way is to use 3 same-sized rounded rectangle layers, ie:
Top layer - double click and give it a stroke of 3 pixels set to the inside, coloured black
Middle layer - double click and give it a stroke of 5 pixels set to the inside, coloured the same as the background
Bottom layer - double click and give it a stroke of 6 pixels set to the inside, coloured black
Then, set all 3 layers to have 0% ‘fill’ (top of the layers palette) to show only the stroke… you can then adjust the stroke widths to achieve the right thickness.
any one have the splash designs on buttons in psd?
this is nearly my done artwork mod, also i was thinking why try take off the artwork when you can laminate the new artwork and simply place it over the original and have the buttons and screws to hold it in place?
Does anyone have any tips/tutorials/links for how to make the ink clouds a la SFIV? I’m trying to make a SFIV marquee/cpo/stick template, and want some massively high res/huge ones, but all the illustrator/ps stuff I can find is either completely flat black splodges or way too low res. Seems hard to make stuff as nice as Capcom have (big surprise there).
horsedick: Do you mean the splashes I used? I can provide a psd of that if you like…
Fluxcore: You need watercolor stock photography. Most likely you’ll have to pay for it. www.dreamstime.com is a good site - but it’s pricey. www.gomedia.us has some watercolor packs which are more affordable - but they’re probably larger in scale than what you’re looking for.
Draw a path in Illustrator, then brushes palette, click the arrow on the top right, then “open brush library” then “artistic” then “ink”. It’s hard to tell if these are the exact same brushes they used for SF4 official stuff, but they’re pretty close. Could probably google search for illustrator ink brushes to find more variants.
