@ A-trak, Dark Onion: What happens if you decide to change character in Super?! I'd wait till then to put on character specific artwork.

I was thinking about that. TBH, I already play Seth most of the time these days, but I think I'm sort of associated with Honda at this stage, and he is still my main choice at tourneys and stuff. Unless they nerf him madly in Super, I can't see myself changing.

Besides Honda is Freakin' awesome looking.

I spent a while working on my art and wanted to include all the characters I'd likely to main - ibuki - chun - ryu - ken - akuma

But it always just looked too ****in messy . So I gave up made this kinda stylized blended thing out of an image of ryu charging a fireball......

Even if I'm not maining him I'll be happy enough with it.


KIKI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whats the craic with just using boring old double sided tape with a laminated A4 page of my art? Any issues?

K.O.Kiki

Just make sure the double-sided tape is to-the-edge, and then add some more in the middle.
Worked fine for me so far.

Sisko

And had you laminated your cover art?

K.O.Kiki

Of course. If you don't laminate, the sweat from your hands ruins the pic within... ohh... an hour?

Hey guys, just wondering what ye think of this skin. As usual, constructive criticism is welcome Or if it's shít, you can say that too

Here's the overhead



And here's the mock-up. Click the image for a bigger version

I dont suppose you have the brush plugin for that splatter?

D4RK ONION

I'm not going to lie to you, I copypasta'd it from another template. If you have photoshop, I can send you the HD version and you can magic-wand copy and paste the splatter over? Otherwise, I'm sure a quick google search will get you some good brushes.

Sorry

Ah no worries, ive found a few brushes.

Sairus

I'm trying to come up with some art for my stick currently. The main thing I want to do is try and make the buttons/stick work with the actual artwork, so I'm wracking my brains for ways to do that.
I just mocked up this as a test to see if I could make it work. (Shoddy artwork ahead, it'll look shinier when I actually draw stuff)

I reckon there's something there, but it just feels dead for the moment. =/ Reckon it needs some text or somthing.
Any suggestions?

chopperbyrne

Dude that's awesome, just buy buttons that match the red of her dress and am aqua/blue ball top and you're sorted.

Ramza

2 arts made for me by Sagat06

Still can't decide!

K.O.Kiki

Good design is less design.
Go for the Vewlix.

The vewlix one is a bit too much like Terry's one I think.

Vewlix is Vewlix so everyone's is the same really :pac:

Sisko

@ Sairus you drew that yourself? You got talent man. I'd say just add your name to it, and maybe try and emulate the black ink style thing for your final image and it should look pretty badass imo.

I'm going to get one of those transperant sparkly ball tops if I go for this design. More sparkles, more soul power.

I hadn't even thought of emulating the inky SFIV syle, I'll definitely give that a crack when I have a spare few minutes. And yar I drew it, cheers laddy! XD

EDIT: Looking at my one again now, the colours are way too dull. If I make them more vibrant in the next draft it might sort some stuff out. Black background also not a good idea.

This might be of use if you want to print and laminate.

I don't see how, the laminate would go over the sticky bit!

Cut it down to size then peal the sticky part off, the laminate should be stuck to the peal off part, then just stick it to the stick. I think thats how Terry did his.

Sisko

So this stuff is sticky on both sides? I'd use it instead of double sided tape? Hmmm.

Exactly. Cut away the edges so that the back and front are no longer binded together. The back will still peel off!

Sisko

Oh I see. Hmmmm. I really wanna get my stick modded and painted before this weekend. A friend of mine has offered his broken ps2 pad, I may head to town to buy vinyl dye , print off my art and have it laminated. Then either buy this stuff or just use double sided tape.

Terry is there anything else I'll need to get regarding doing this ps2 pcb mod?

K.O.Kiki

Which pad do you have Sisko?

The viewlix template looks good in a grey scale, mabe try that if you want to be different.

Some pretty nice artwork by this guy http://www.capcom-unity.com/just-s/blog/?pref_tab=blog

Think he did some of the ones already linked.

You'll need some 26 guage solid wire. I have plenty leftover if you want it? Or you can buy it in maplins (the thinnest ones they have). You should also have a look inside mine first to get an idea of what to do!

Sisko

Yeah deffo man I meant to call to you last week but I was too wrecked afterwards and just went straight home, I'll be in DCU again this friday though.

Sagat06

Don't know if I like the pixelated artwork background. Any ideas?

D4RK ONION

Maybe if you could get a screen from HDR it might work better?

Ken B

I'd prefer just the background, personally.....

animaX

Where did you get the font from SF4? Or did you just copy the word Vega from somewhere else?

Sagat06

I just ripped it from a hd vid youtube, I couldnt find a font anywhere for it!

Vyze

You could always blur the background so that it's just a dramatic out-of-focus shot rather than pixelated?

Doctor DooM

I'm with Ken B on this actually, 16 bit FTW.

Sairus

How exactly does one get their art onto their sticks? There seems to be a dozen and ones ways of doing it. What's everyone's preferences here?

LIFETRAP

Can anyone help me out with a psd or png SSFIV logo with a transparent background? Searched on Google, no dice.

Sagat06

ill root it out for ya now

LIFETRAP

Thanks, man.
