Something like a tech vector like This.
make it on HRAP2 template plz 
>XD Gotta pick a mean vector dontcha? You wanna just use that exact image? Itās a good size, can be manipulated/colored in many ways too.

That is the HRAP2, the iplaywinner template works for the 2&3.

I was messin around with you image, and can get the hair to that par of cleanliness. I can shoot you the work file, or throw it into a stick template if you give me the template file (i canāt find the T6 template anywhere).
well cant you make something similar to that?
Pure vector art isnāt my forte, honestly. I normally use a bit of vector for final touches, but never the main piece. Especially tech vectors, all my stuff would be hip hoppy or punk type stuff. If I find more files to build upon, Iāll keep at it. Be quite awhile though while I mess with a new genre though, youād be better off finding a different artist or work. = p
bah no one here does vector >__< , how does black look on the vector?
Cause vector art is a pain in the ass, itās like thinking with the other side of the brain. Everything you wanna naturally do, you gotta do something else. At least, to me. Itās exacting, precise, and measured, not free flowing.
Black? On that vector as a background? You can mess with other peopleās art really easy lol, it just feels dirty XD.
nvm ā¦original looked better lmao!! Iāll take it! the original that is.
Lmao! Hereās the work file man, it still has all 4 backgrounds, characters(and the original large version of them hidden), and colored logo, you can mess with them or add/change whatever you want. If anything, and find a vector artist, you can easily put anything anywhere.
Iāll be playing with vectors more often, still trying to get into it, if I ever build some backgrounds, Iāll hit you up = p.
Oh wow man. I hadnāt gotten around to trying to clean up that one yet (was busy building a new PC). The PSD for The Lili template is larger than what my Sky drive account will handle, so it may work better if you send me the work file.
Though, hereās the base template for the Hori wireless stick, that I used. http://cid-c98745be37a6c5a4.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/Tekken%20Limited%20Edition.psd
Big file, but I didnāt want to reduce the size. The legs arenāt too cleaned, but thatās easy, if youāre even going to use them. Thereās two layers of her, thatās how I cleaned the hair. You can just merge those two.
Well I might as well put my request in, it couldnāt hurt to ask:
I have a āDatel ArcadeProā Joystick which uses the mayflash template found here: http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/102/080509blueprintstickful.png
None of the button labels will be needed
This is a mockup of what I want the final design to look like: http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/2888/mockupp.jpg
Iād like to green to be Sanwa green and the purple to be Sanwa Violet to match buttons/balltop of the same colors
Which when finished it will hopfully look like this: http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/9903/nightofthelivingstick.jpg
(Posting this in case your artistic eye can suggest a better way to arrange my colors)
I already have the 6 green buttons and the 2 violet and violet balltop, I really want to use those colors which is why I bought them before my art was finalized
Iām basically just trying to adapt the poster of the movie to fit on my stick.
Best resolution I could find of the poster but, it looks like a picture of it rather than a scan: http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/7148/nightofthelivingdead196.jpg
I ran it through the vector magic website to give it the cartoony look seen in the mockup because I thought it would make cutting the characters out easier and in the end I think it gave it a cool look because the picture was already of a lower quality. I cut half of the characters out of the mock up because it was the only way I could make it look half decent, not that I donāt want them in there. Although adding them might make it too busy or crowded. I just donāt know.
I tried to cut the characters out to move them around but Iām really terrible at it and then I tried to redraw the title text so it wouldnāt look like ass when I printed it but, Itās hard to redraw vectors when I donāt even know what they are
Here is the version I ran through vector magic minus the title: http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/6594/vectoredposter.jpg
Title: http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/2613/nightofthetitle.jpg
The āThey wont stay deadā I just retyped because itās basic all caps arial bold
Iād like as much white in the background as possible because the stick has an all white body and guide buttons so Iām looking to keep it bright
The most important parts are:
The night of the living dead title in the classic text in the bottom right
The woman being in the top left of the stick, I like that pose and the look on her face and I think it would fit above the joystick well
The man with the board being in the space below the stick, heās probably THE focus of the action on the stick
Everything else can be adjusted to fit as it needs to be.
My goal is to adapt the poster to the stick as much as possible but, with a white background between the characters rather than a generally dark background like on the poster.
Hey, I need a little help here.
I wanna mod my HRAP3SA so it looks like a T6/T6BR cabinet panel. In this thread: http://www.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=158957 (which Iāve been bumping a couple of times) is all the info. Iāve tried it out myself but I couldnāt get what I wanted.
And also, I think I saw someone selling metal panels to HRAPās. But I have been told that the guy who sold them donāt sell 'em anymore? I need one with six or four buttons (hole plug two), so if someone knows anything about this, PM me.
Help me, please!
Kelter: Would something like this work?
Even Rocky had a montage! Montage~
Looks great but, I do have a few comments:
I would prefer the Title to be flat rather than the 3D effect youāve given it. I would also like it to be bigger. Possibly as big as I had it in the mock up but, if you believe it shouldnāt be THAT huge Iāll trust your judgement. Youāre the artist, not me. Also not that it needs to be said again but, I canāt tell via the monitor if the color matches sanwa green buttons or not so Iāll just mention again that Iām looking to color match it with the buttons.
I would like the contrast on the background to be higher so the blacks are blacker and the whites are whiter. Obviously trying to do this without loss of detail will limit how dark the darks can get and thatās fine. Obviously the goals is something that is visually appealing not pure black and pure white.
My final comment would be more plain white in the background to fit the all white body of the stick. Because the body is so white Iām worried that itāll look really busy when the entire face is covered in greys. Of course this might be hard to do depending on how youāve mashed the characters together as it is and perhaps altering the contrast might solve this worry aswell.
It looks awesome though. I think the only thing I donāt like is the effect on the text, everything else is just a minor concern.
Thanks a lot for taking the time to do this for me. Iām very appreciative.
I can key the sanwa color you gave, no prob, wasnāt clear on that, and the 3D is easily off. It does look really flat without any effect, maybe thatās what youāre going for though. Iāll up the size too ^^
I upped the contrast already, the original image was dark, and I figured youād want more of the white to show through over grey. I left it at that point due to the detail loss. The guy in the bottom right and the girl in the top left begin to lose their face with more white.
As for the background, I know you asked to focus on white, but itād look pretty bare bones without some sort of stuff going on. I figured the prevalent white showing through the characters would be enough. Lemme fix the title and edit in your white bezel to show.
Oops, double post, Iāll just reserve this for the new example ^^;
EDIT:

Good call on more contrast, I got it up a bit more and maintained the detail ^^0 looks way more badass.
Only problem I see is that you canāt even tell the guy in the bottom left has an arm anymore and the top of the piece of wood is part of the girls shirt.
Other than that I love it and itās exactly what I was going for. I imagine I could redraw the line for his arm and the piece of wood unless you were so inclined.
Awesome.
The contrast zombies took it!
Hehe, in the high res, he still has a bit of bicep/upper arm, its the wrist area thatās been blended. I lowered the contrast a bit more to make that and the wood pop out a bit(youāll see it better close up). Also in the file, thereās the uncontrasted working background, you can play with the contrast on that to see what the different effects would be.
Redrawing isnāt gonna look pretty ><.
It looks great.
I canāt wait to print it and get my parts put in. Iāll send you a PM link to the new stick thread when I finish it all up and post it, if youād like.
Once again thank you so much. Iām ecstatic. Itās exactly what I was going for.
I have a quick request if someone could do it for me. Could someone go in and clean up my artwork for me? I got it a while ago and just now noticed some imperfections (Purple on her face, white pixels here and there). I just want to have it looking nice before I send it off to be printed.
