The NEW Official Arcade Stick Art Thread NO IMAGE QUOTING!

For all you repro nuts out there, here’s a Astro City repro for a HRAP VLX Premium Stick.

High Res Version:

I went for serious repro here… no interpretations. The only thing I changed was the “1 PLAY” being the only button. Everything else I tried to make as spot on as I could.

… and yes, High-resolution graphics and stereo-of-the-art sound DO INDEED… double your playing enjoyment.

yo may i get those templates

Final version of my commission + stick preview. Still wondering if I should get all clear Seimitsu and balltop or throw some blue buttons/balltop in there.

i do so hate watermarking. shaping up to be a nice design. also i remember seeing something like this a while ago, your artist has posted other stuff on srk before, right?

Do not quote images^^

I don’t know, but he does draw a lot of Capcom/fighting game stuff so it wouldn’t surprise me to see one of his work displayed on the forums once in a while.

Anyone got a Peacock template? I’m getting a TeK case and am looking for one.

Just a preview of what I’m working on. And for those who know, yes it’s Bakemonogatari. Suggestions/advice would be appreciated.

Yao, what is DxD?

I’ll probably look like an idiot but I have to know, I don’t really understand the white OBSC-30 buttons.

What’s the “white” circle on the top of the button ? Can you remove it ? Cause’ I don’t think it’s transparent like that…

Okay, thanks for the help DonkeyBlonkey. I think I did resize it at the sides a couple of times.

I’ll try to redo it and see how it comes out.

I have that one. It’s the plunger on the inside of the button. It’s a solid white underneath the plastic. I saw some buttons that had different colors than white for the plunger, but I couldn’t find any online.

high school dxd ecchi anime! hella boobs and things exploding lol

One of my sleaziest color management hacks is to just reduce the ink output amount to around 80% in the printer driver software.

The real fix is actual color management, and the rabbit hole there goes really really deep, and perfection can pretty much never be attained. :[

im not printing at home though.
what’s even crazier is that the posted stick was post-color management, but it gets to the point where i have to lighten something so much that i end up losing definition on the image. its all good though, im going to start printing on my union’s commercial printer from now on. its so much better than staples/fedex.

I don’t like white/red electricity. :confused:

I think I’m almost done but I have the feeling that one detail is missing…

Lars’ lightning is Purple, though… You should change the image of Lars back to the T6 one too. This one is at a much lower resolution than the others and it won’t look good when you print it.

I know, it’s just I like the mix of red and black. :stuck_out_tongue:
Lars’ image will really look bad ? :confused:

As a huge StarCraft2 and Team Liquid fan I decided to make an appropriately themed stick. I’m really bad with PS and this is still a work in progress, but I kinda don’t know where to go from here. It still feels a bit empty and I can’t tell if I’m on the right track, so I would really love some feedback/suggestions.
Oh and btw I’m probably gonna use 6 button layout so just ignore last 2 holes which cover Kerrigan. And I’m thinking of using clear white Seimitsu buttons for directions and clear blue for the rest.
Also I could swear that I saw a high definition SC2 logo somewhere on this forum but can’t find it. Even google is failing me on this one so I would really appreciate it if someone could dig it out.
Anyway here it is:

I’ve searched high and low through this thread. and can’t find what I’m looking for. I would like a TE template with the SF2 Champion Edition art like the old cabinet. I’ve seen so many pictures where people have that artwork but I can’t find a high quality pic to use on my stick. If someone could just point me to the resources to make this artwork that would be fine too.
