The NEW Official Arcade Stick Art Thread NO IMAGE QUOTING!

Thank you for the feedback. Most of what you said is due to the low quality jpeg image I saved. I was having trouble figuring out the color scheme thank you for that. I was thinking the Pokemon on the right because the important ones or my favorites are highlighted in the middle but ill mirror it and see how it looks

are you going to be using clear buttons?

This is the newest version of the Scott Pilgrim stick, I hate that I have to sell it, but I plan on making another with more layers of glass and LED’s for the first four buttons.

Here it is with the changes. I like it a lot more actually thank you. Im having trouble figuring out what to do with Moltres’s clipped off wings. On the right I just had the Pokemon logo covering it up on the left I can cover it with the control panel but in order to fit charizard in there (my favorite) without covering him up I had to make the image smaller exposing Moltres’s wings. Any ideas guys? Kitsunisan I used that image already like I said the Jpeg is really low quality. Also I haven’t gotten past this stage so the buttons haven’t been thought out yet. The TTT2 stick has yellow buttons with the yellow stick, I think that will fit the theme pretty nicely

Low qual…it’s 4724x2835, pretty damn quality to me.
As for the wing, it’s a pretty simple shape, just grab your mouse and freehand it. If you’re new to this, it’s a good learning experience. Google an image of Moltres, find one similar to the one there, copy the tips of the wings, paste it as a new layer on this image and resize it so it’s close to what you need. I’d suggest doing it one wing at a time, with a new layer for each one. From there, just draw it out as best as you can. Block in the colors then go over the edges with black.

Thank you for the advice

I dont think you understand what I am saying. I already used that image its the 4724x2835 one same one. I am saying what is low quality is the JPEG that I saved from photoshop in order to upload it here. The original is too big of a file. Not what you posted

Oh, I think I see what you mean.
Btw, had a few minutes to kill, I fixed up the wings for you. Click on the image to download it.

If it matters, it looks like I missed some white right behind Staryu, Ditto and Dratini, and fuck me for knowing those names off the top of my head.

Lol wow thank you so much! That is awesome… Ill be sure to post a picture of my stick with my noob ass art lol. Yeah damn photbucket and their 1mb restriction.

If it makes you feel any better I can probably name all the 1st gen and probably 2nd gen pokemon off the top of my head so Im pretty geeky

Yeah, I had the first 150 stuck in my head for years, still pops up every now and then. And it looks like I mixed up Dratini and Dragonite, the white behind Dratini is part of Chancy, but it looks like it doesn’t matter in your art there.

Eevee stick I put together last week.

I dont think I got many pix of it after adding all the buttons.

Here is one with all the buttons.

I’m usually pretty good with this, but I am at a total loss of where to go with the art on this custom stick I am building. As you can tell by the image, there is a color theme going on here. Trying to find the right art (I have no problems editing photos) is proving to be a challenge. Placing the art is even harder as I don’t have the biggest of surfaces to work with (12x7 with a nior 8 button layout). I am at a loss with where to go from here. Does anyone have any ideas to help fill all the empty space? I was considering using pink splatter brushes on the pink buttons, but it just seems to leave too much black still.

Im going for an older zombie type theme.

That is awesome I love how the buttons match up with each evolution

To the guy making the pokemon collage, that is infinitely better. Now, this is just me personally, but I would remove the haunter(?) face and Ash, then move that poke logo to the top right corner.

It gives it a more clean and aesthetic look. I feel that the poke logo, haunter face(?), and Ash are all contending for attention and its creating visual conflict. This is just me though. But I do recommend getting rid of one of them at least.

Also, Pikachu’s orientation bothers me. Every pokemon (except charizard, but he’s fine as is) is in profile view. Yet Pikachu is faced forward. Maybe find a profile version or just flip him horizontally so that he’s more aligned with the other pokemon?

Thanks Spitfire, your art looks like it’s coming along well. Throw on a Pokeball top.
Here is a Wesker stick I put together, I’m clear coating an umbrella symbol ball for it right now.

There we go thank you so much for your help guys sorry to clutter the thread with my posts

Pokemon guy, do you know what buttons you are getting? If youre getting solid color buttons, then stick to the pokemon on the left side facing right. The image above this post looks good, but you should really enlarge the poke collage if the resolution will allow it. I get that you want charizard in that one spot, so enlarge the poke collage, move Zapdos, and play with charizard until you get it right. The collage is too small as is.

However, if youre getting clear buttons, then you could put the pokemon on the right side facing left as you originally had it. Keep that white background though it looks way better than grey. Put ash back in as you originally had him (but he would be white now), leave haunter face out. Try that and see if you like that too.

Guy who’s helping me out,
The buttons on the tekken tag stick are yellow and so is the ball top so I think that will fit the theme nicely

So I need some help. I am changing my art before EVO. I am a fan of J Scott Campbell’s marvel art. He has done some art for Ironman, Psylocke, Ms.Marvel and Magik. That is like a dream team for me(too bad only ironman is in MvC3 T.T) However while I can’t have them in my game I can have them on my Qanba Q4

Now the 3 images I am wanting to use are below.

I am willing to pay commission to get something done. My best attempts so far just haven’t worked out. I remember there being a request forum for this kind of thing but the search doesn’t seem to be working. Figured id throw it in here since I know a lot of you have taken commissions.

Anyone willing to help out would be most appreciative. We can discuss pricing and such in private messages.
