The NEW Official Arcade Stick Art Thread NO IMAGE QUOTING!

What’s wrong with comic sans?!? Lol! I hate it myself but dude loved it.

They’re just soo overused and look boring in my opinion. Personally I would never give anyone an art that I am not satisfied with; I would tell the client or friend to wait because I will be adding final touches/revisions.

Anyone have a good resource for high res textures to use in PS (in the neighborhood of 4k pixels wide)?

Google-fu… there are tons out there. Are you looking for “patterns” “textures” or photos that you can use as textures?

There’s a sign in my Graphic Design class that states which fonts are never to be used… Comic Sans is on top of that list, along with Apple Chancery lol

I hope Impact is ok…because I love that font.

I think it looks good…the art on Felicia looks a bit different from the rest though…and how do you guys do those bold black outlines around characters? You’re not just drawing lines around them are you? Is there a tool in PS or Gimp that does that easily? Because it looks badass!

Internal, check out dafont.com. Lots of options out there.

Photos, actually. Been just Googling for the most part.

Here’s a very rough draft of something I threw together just for fun, because I’ve never actually made stick art before. Any suggestions on how to improve would be much appreciated. It’s not finished, and I know the font looks sort of awful.

I like it but I’d bring her in front of the textures and her name as well…

Thanks dude! Will do.

Well since you offered, I guess I’ll take you up on your offer. PM me and I can send you the custom template.

PM’d

Here’s another repro… I love this one so it’s going on my stick ASAP.

Is there anyone out there that can guide me to a bunch of already done quanba Q4 art? Also, what is the best place to start on where to learn how to make my own custom art. I have photoshop and I know where to get the templates, but that’s it. I don’t have any experience with photoshop. Anything I need to know? Tutorials? Anything.

There are photoshop tutorials for any possible use you could think of, from beginner to very advanced. First result from Googling “photoshop basic tutorial” is actually a list of 35 Basic Tutorials to Get You Started With Photoshop.

Here is where I have come to with my PaRappa The Rapper art. Any thoughts or suggestions? This art actually

gave me a lot of trouble but I think it turned out pretty well!

I tried to give as bouncy and lighthearted feeling as possible, just like the game, while still letting it look like it belongs on a stick, I think I succeeded in that.

Edit: I moved the right Parappa to the a little more to the right to prevent him from being cut off, I totally forgot to do this before lol.

Damn you got me wanting to make a Lammy one for a TEK board :slight_smile:

Looks good;

You might be cutting into his head a little bit with your dustwasher on the left and will definitely cut out a decent chunk of his hand and head with your 4k button. Other than that, I like the minimalist look to it.

If only it were an MK stick, just so you could label the buttons “PUNCH KICK BLOCK!”

Does any photoshop guru want to do me a favor?

Admittedly, with a bit of time (or the will power to learn to use gimp) I could do it myself, but someone else could probably manage it quite quickly.

I’m wanting a qanba type top art piece based on Parasoul and the Black Egrets. Really, I’d like it more to be just the Black Egrets, because I think they are awesome and hilarious but folks can have whatever artistic license they want as long as it comes out well.

I kind of want this image:

But without Parasoul in it (I was playing around with editing it by duplicating the smallest Egret and trying to copy the size increase as they move from left to right – seems entirely possible with time.

Or maybe something similar to a clearer, higher quality version of this image:

If anyone wants to take this one that’d be awesome. If not, I’ll have to find some time to work on it myself.
