I use gimp because I’m too poverty to pirate photoshop (so lazy) and the eraser in gimp is balls dogs, absolute balls. However if you get creative you’ll do fine with the pencil tool.

Also paintdotnet and inkscape. I do a lot of graphical work for one of my other hobbies, and also I enjoy dicking around to make avatars or other things.

I do remember all of the trailers that adobe put out about the latest photoshop’s software assists, like how it can do tons of crazy shit for you for free. It practically runs itself these days!

Maybe I should hit up some adobe software, especially since I want to toy around with vectorizing images more–is there anything you lot use? Someone suggested I try Flash. Curious if you guys have any insight on the subject.

photoshop CS2 is free to download from their official site, i “uses” it myself (see top of this page, im so good i really need to use photoshop instead of paint)

7783

Yeah but CS2 doesn’t photoshop images for you, where all you do is like click twice and BAM a perfect shop has been done.

I used to rock photoshop 6 back in the day, and my highschool had photoshop 5 for me to dick around with. Some gooooood shit. Although I did get a cease and desist for pirating flash way back in like 2002

7784

well, you can always pm d3v and you dont even have to click twice

7785

I’m too poor to throw money at d3v, otherwise I would totally throw money at d3v

7786

I’m in desperate need of some SE art that would go well with a red stick and buttons, could anyone help me out?

7787

if you’re ready to spend some money, @d3v is just the very best here i think. he just keeps on amazing me every time. he makes it look like its actually professional work and a retail look

7788

Knowing krimpai like I do, that is exactly the point.

7789

Art theory states that red goes well either with all of the colours being warm hues or if you want the stick and buttons to contrast then go with dark cold hues

Hi all, i recently got a HORI DOA5 stick and decided to change the art, its my first time doing it but i like it a lot, any opinions?

I can dig it. See if you can edit your post with a larger image.

7792

First time doing art for my Q4. Decided to use my AE main and came up with this using my limited PS skills.

7793

I’m printing these out tomorrow and putting them in the TE2s at my office. :3

7794

Does anybody know where I can find a template for a mas stick

7795

Does anybody happen to have the template art for a Madcatz Standard edition fightstick that resemble’s the Virtua Stick/Sega Astro City art layout? I can’t find a good resolution image or an actual link that can direct me to the Photoshop file. I am trying to get a local Decal store to print one out for me but for some reason the small 800x700 file that I have prints out a little smaller than what the metal template actually is.

7796

Looks like it’s in the first post of this thread.

7797

Edited with bigger image.

7798

I couldnt find what I needed so I messed around on photoshop and made my own Sega Astro City Madcatz SE layout.

Does anyone still happen to have a copy of the original art for the Madcatz SE? Been digging through the tread and haven’t found it yet, though I’m sure I’ve seen it done before.
