Well not the whole width but maybe a lil more then what you have right now.
Ok, I need a vote. Black or Yellow?
As much as it’s not helpful, I’m torn! They both look good, but I guess I’m leaning toward yellow just because it stands out a little more.
I think the dudley text on the top right should be a different color or something. looks too flat with black
I don’t think the problem with the Dudley text is in the color as much as it is in with the size. It seems like you’re trying to keep the dudley text matching the “arcade stick” text which is cool with me but the dudley text is tiny compared to everything else and that should be one of the focal points seeing as how its the character’s name. As it sits right now it is probably the least dominant element of the art. I would suggest scaling it up a bit. Maybe even have it almost touching his shoulder because that will cause visual friction in the composition which will keep the viewers attention on Dudley, with the SF4 logo and the arcade stick text being the after thoughts instead of the other way around.
Just my opinion though. Hah.
I think either of them are a solid choice as well. Yellow makes the yellow in the design pop which makes it look more vibrant whereas the black gives it a more subtle affect and draws out the purple more so I think it depends on personal preference and what you’re going for.
keep it black unless you’re painting the whole stick yellow
I’m going with black. You may want to change out the art someday, and you’ll be stuck with that color. Black, like Guile’s theme, goes with everything.
I did a quick mockup, all yellow is too much.
Definatly stick to black i ise to think changing the colors to the wings was cool. I soon realized after wards you cant go wrong with black sides, and as kitsunisan said you’ll probaly want to change the art down the road and your going to have thru the hazzle of painting them again.
I’d say black just because I’m lazy 
less work that way.
A couple of my recent works this week.
i like them all except for the oddly colored last one.
It’s been awhile since I posted on here, but I got the itch to add something to my umvc3 template after seeing ghost rider’s penance stare in action.
What do yall think?
It’s looking fricken amazing! lovin the cvs2 diamonds.
Haha, thanks, but thank d3v as well for making the base template.
@Deathzero
Your zero temp really grabs my attention looks good man. The sakura one needs a lil work Look like you added a red high light around her bring the size on it a lil down And imo i think it’ll look much better with out the sakura on the left.
@yzzerd
Did you some sort of gradient map to the penance sare or just a color overlay?
Another SfxTekken temp to add to my current series this time around,
I want to post a rolento one next but i dont know what tekken character to add with him :. Anyways enjoy
Thanks KaboXx! Yeah the red glow is a lot more pink and subtle. I choose to convert my files to gif for more accurate colors with photobucket but it sharpens all gradients like in the little zero silhouette. Also that sakura pic is cut off at the waist. =/ I actually had intended for a different pic but you can’t argue with commissions lol
Oh and I think Nina would go great with rolento
Some minor adjustments made. Didnt care for the “button drip” on first version, better colormatching on the red button area and splatter, name added.
Now I just gotta figure out button/ball colors. Thinking i might try some seimitsu buttons on this thing. Considering going with the PS-14-GN-30mm Black and Red Screw ins and Either a black or Red balltop.

Alright guys, I made some more edits from your feedback and I want your opinion(s) on it. I’m basically at the point where I feel this is ready for printing. Any remaining thoughts to help strengthen the visual aesthetic is still welcome though. It might sound like I’m being a suck-up, but I really appreciate all the help you guys provided for my first stick art submission. I feel confident that I can bring whatever stick art I make here and have people analyze it from a good gamer and artistic perspective. Expect future stick arts from me in the future!
