The NEW Official Arcade Stick Art Thread NO IMAGE QUOTING!

Does anyone have a high quality/resolution PNG (transparency preferred) of the Mortal Kombat (2011) logo (no dragon MK symbol, text only)?

I’ve been looking all over, but sorting through 31 pages here is going to take forever and google/other search engines have been useless.

use this font

Not a bad idea – however, getting the blending/shading of the orange to yellow right with the correct outline might prove infuriating… any other options? I’ve found some high res with the dragon behind it, but as I zoom in to cut it out, I usually notice it’s jaggy as hell and will end up looking so once I remove it. :frowning:

well your best bet would be to take this picture

and use the pen tool in ps. I recently started using the pen tool and although it takes longer than erasing it really gets the job done as clean as possible

EDIT: or another high res photo because i see that it has some transparent writing over the last few letters that can be a problem

I found a high res photo, just need to learn to use the “path” tool in gimp, I guess:

if you don’t succeed, let me know and i’ll see if i can do it for you but remember practice makes perfect

quick question… i have the art made for my SE… now how do i go about printing it and taking off the old art?

Print it from Kinkos and how did you stick your old artwork onto the SE Stick?

i haven’t put any art put on it yet… i actually JUST bought my brawl stick yesterday… and i wanna get the tripleH/rock art off it right away lol

but yeah… this is my first stick that i’m gonna mess around with… so i’m kinda new to this

Could someone tell me how I would go about printing stick art for my Hori Real Arcade Pro V3-SA, what material to print it on, and how to install that?

follow this guide

need some critics for my work.

@bpunk - the top one!

Wow, some absolutely amazing work displayed here guys…awe inspiring as a matter a fact. I’m trying to break into the art industry personally but this has me thinking of shifting my aim a little more into designing sticks. Chuu your templates are fantastic, initially I planned to have a fairly blacked out stick design, but your X23 layout has me thinking otherwise. Addicted to this thread now.

I also wanted to get into the art industry and that’s why I’ve been making templates now for a couple weeks =)

thanks, i’ve been pretty lately and i hurt my hand, maybe in a couple weeks i’ll working on templates again…i do have some aspirations to be in the art industry, but pretty much i’d be me opening a printshop or something of that nature…

I like the bottom one/2nd one.

that’s not really a critique

It seems like you would be able to move rita under the left set of buttons to avoid her head things… from getting cut off. also, i would try making the “hitbox” go from top to bottom. it seems to be randomly placed in the middle. maybe try to match it up with the border or something. overall it looks great though and either choice would be good as-is.

yeh, i said rita.

the cut on the image to the left looks a little rough. Mainly on the bottom flap/ribbon of her outfit curling outward.
