Title: NZism custom artwork - showing off, feedback and advice thread.
Post by: geneterror on November 03, 2009, 11:30:41 AM
OK so a lot of us are doing our own artwork mods these days and seeing Xpunch's thread made me think maybe we should have one big thread for posting artwork, getting feedback and advice etc. I just got my full panel plexi thanks to Gankatron so I've been working on some artwork.
I have a Sakura one to show you guys and a Bison one to post up later.
What do you guys think of this, it still needs a bit of tidying up on the character. I'm hoping to have this artwork on my TE stick before the blowout at RVB this Saturday ;D. I'll post up pics of it on the stick when it's finished.

Damn that looks mean as. Hope it's finished by the 7th so i can see that shit.

that is because I have yet to get my hands around some LED's and how they work with my ps1/ps2 control pad, I am sure the USB power is sufficient though will need to look it up more.

Lovin it bro that's killer, likin' the buttons. I'm not going to change my buttons as I plan on swapping out the artwork a bit so I never know what colours would work with the next design, generic white/black will suit most of my designs.

For real...one thing I've learned from this project is to be happy with your design before you go pulling shit apart.

I purchased some black and grey buttons and replaced them with the stock standard ones...but after a little bit of playing I realized I was slightly using my peripheral vision to hit buttons instead of feeling the buttons(I know...sounds silly)result was me missing inputs

So I switched back to the stock standard white buttons which were sweet(and easy to see)...problem was they just didn't sit snug as before because I'd pulled them out a few too many times and had become spongy within the metal plate(FAAAARK!!!)

8 yellow Sanwa pushbuttons
1 yellow Sanwa ball top
1 Sanwa octagonal gate
1 Seimitsu LS-33 spring(goes inside the Sanwa spring and make joystick stiffer)
1 extended TE plexi

This stuff only arrived on the weekend just passed...now it feels,looks,performs better than when brand new!!!

Great to hear that b boy :D  The stick looks soo sweet.

polenykes, yeah it might not be worth it if all you are doing is a custom art.  The hori sticks are a pain in the butt when it comes to that damn pcb inside.  My one died after a few plays when I swapped out the stock buttons for sanwa's.  I think gino's ex did the same thing after abit.

Post by: polenykes on November 04, 2009, 11:13:47 PM
Yeah thanks i think its a good idea for me to just leave it be until i get another stick, was considering getting tekken 6 just so i had another stick but then i saw the stick...

A while back I scored some black and grey Sanwa buttons and a spare Sanwa joystick with grey ball top off TradeMe before I even owned my TE stick...

This time around while the NZ dollar was good(and the lack of Sanwa on TradeMe)
I purchased my "Sonic Boom" parts from www.lizardlick.com

P.S.Just spotted this...$20 Sanwa Octagonal Gate http://www.trademe.co.nz/Gaming/Arcade-pinball-machines/Parts/auction-250978045.htm

I like akihabarashop myself, but there are places like highway in australia that are a bit closer. Really you have to do the math each time to see who is cheapest.

There are some links to various shops on the links page, btw.

here is one I just made with photoshop, I am still very new to this but hoping to improve!!!
This is made purposely on an angel for fit my joystick case so it looks a bit altered.
Give me some feed backs you pros.

Title: Re: NZism custom artwork - showing off, feedback and advice thread.
Post by: samurai black on November 09, 2009, 11:11:43 PM
maybe get a better texture instead of that grey bubbly/lumpy thing youre rocking. also, kinda odd how sak's legs cut off suddenly. maybe try extending her skirt or something with a bit of photoshop bastardisation.

also, who is the blonde, only character i dont recognise on there.
Title: Re: NZism custom artwork - showing off, feedback and advice thread.
Post by: zos'la on November 10, 2009, 08:22:12 AM
thanks for the feed back.
Yeah the background is actually a Yin and yang but I texturized it with photoshop so it looks dark and hard to see, reason being is that My buttons and stick is white so then it would stand out more.

Sakuras is cut off on her skirt due to the fact my stick is going to be on an angle and hence why I did what you see here.

The chick in blonde is the Girl from Blaze Blue? with teh Gun? can't remember her name to be exact.
Title: Re: NZism custom artwork - showing off, feedback and advice thread.
Post by: geneterror on November 10, 2009, 09:00:11 AM
Her name is Noel ;)

Gotta say I'm not too keen on ther texture in the background either, apart from that it looks sweet.
Title: Re: NZism custom artwork - showing off, feedback and advice thread.
Post by: zos'la on November 10, 2009, 09:37:29 AM
hehe, thats it NOEL!!! she is pretty sweet :P

anyways I'll go home and play a bit more with it, though I have already made prints, gona try it tonight. If it doesn't look good I'll just redo the background.

Got any sites for some good background/ textures etc? google ftw!!!

About an hour in photoshop and i fired out this design. Thoughts?

(http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q192/SuPeRwILLyMaN/th_stick.jpg) (http://s136.photobucket.com/albums/q192/SuPeRwILLyMaN/?action=view&current=stick.jpg)

And after about ANOTHER hour, i managed to splice it onto an image of a TE. Took me forever because i didnt have the photoshop document of the original image. (was a template for a mock up of stick artwork) So i had to twist the image to make it fit, and then bust out the eraser tool and erase over the stick/buttons. >_> Which is why it looks shit, but you get the idea.

Looks fuckin' dope Bill... kudos

Also just so you know, there's a template & some actions to accompany it for doing TE artwork... I have them kicking around somewhere... so I'll dig them out and put them online somewhere... basically you make your art in one template, hit a button, and it puts it on to the stick for you so you can get an idea of what it'd look like

Yea, thats what i stole the image from, but i didnt have the button to make it do its thing, so i did it the hard way. >_<

Artwork 4-5 hours depends on how fussy you are and how complicated you want it, cutting it out 1/2 hour and taking apart and putting the stick back together about another half an hour.

I'm going to order another perspex plate next week to do my other stick ;D

Hey guys...with the hype of SSF4 coming I've decided to work on sum new artwork for my TE stick.

I was happy with my "SONIC BOOM" stick...but now I've figured out how to use GIMP a bit better(it's like photoshop...but free!)I'm starting sum new stuff and hopefully reviving this thread a bit to see sum other designs and ideas from others.

I also managed to pick up a cheap semi thrashed SE stick from TradeMe just after Xmas that I'm pimping for my girl...and just waiting on sum parts to come.

With that said...here's a pic of what's going to be my girls SE stick art!!

thanks,
I had no template to run the ptictures position by... so kinda had to guess but it turned out to exactly where I wanted. Only thing is the backgroun picture of Ibuki which isn't fitted well enought and her name should be a tad to the left more....
Its really time consuming doing these.. gosh click click an 2-3 hours gone...

Some power awesome efforts here :)

(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2/CptMunta/SE_Templatestickcopy5.jpg)

Really want to try a new design for Super. I like the colour scheme, but need to find the right artwork. Maybe a mishmash of character select portraits again, but with everyone. Ie tons of work.

Cheers slowly slogging away at a Super SF4 version. Need all the New Character portraits in high res though. Got all the current cast and a few of the new ones which is a start at least.

what is the best way to create paint marks like the street fighter 4 paint splash in photoshop??
I've tried the tools but it didn't turn out very well...

I might create a multi char cover for my old stick, got all teh high res pics for the cast in SSF4 just missing the last character which they are yet to reveal?

I hate them though. The lack of Fuerte is disappointing. :P

That being said, they look really nice dude. I personally prefer the one thats similar to your old art, although the characters are a lot more defined on the one with the different colourscheme. I think i prefer the other one because its got the flare, but just enough subtlety to not make it look too busy when you look at it.

Unfortunately it's NOT lami-label...

It's just a vinyl sticker from the local print shop...
Dunno how well it'll last...but I'll soon see...
I'm thinking of masking everything off and putting a clear coat over it...I'm just getting crazy impatient though.

Anyone know where the local lami-label is...?

Not totally happy with the sticker though...can't really see from the photos but you can see every little bump under the sticker...where the spot welds are...where the metal plate screws in...because the sticker is madd thin.

Post by: [NIUE] BIRRY WONG on March 23, 2010, 12:30:59 AM
Skulls looks nice. Its simple but effective.

Hue's one is still clearly in the early design stages.

I would personally drop that main ryu pic down to the left corner where the SD ryu is atm. (keep the size the same, but crop the legs at the bottom of the stick) And throw maybe a few ink effects and a nice gradient (like the standard TE art background like in the stick you did for skullator) in the background to make it look a touch busier.

That bottom left corner is the biggest area you have to use for art without being blocked by the buttons. (Especially on a mayflash) So i would personally use it. Although at any rate, even if you dont, i think if you dropped ryu down to the left a bit more(to sort of where the chun position is in skulls stick) it would look better. Although you dont want the two sticks to look exactly the same, so maybe its best to ignore me.
Title: Re: NZism custom artwork - showing off, feedback and advice thread.
Post by: samurai black on March 23, 2010, 10:08:04 AM

Title: Re: NZism custom artwork - showing off, feedback and advice thread.
Post by: zos'la on March 23, 2010, 10:26:14 AM
Thanks for the advice guys^^
Hue's one is still in design stage as it was him who wanted those pics and where they are xD his actual stick is a lot larger than teh normal Mayflash as it is a custom one using Mayflash layout.
But I will put an update once I'm done with it and get some advices xD

here is Skullators fully completed stick, let me know what you guys think. The photo ain't the best as teh lighting and my phone camera ain't great^^

So i was thinking that maybe the little guys for the buttons were a little too much.  Also Alan raised the point that the background image may be a little too pixellated when printed out, so I had a muck around witht he filters in photoshop and managed to get this result.

More feddback damn you!  Would love some feedback from you pro's that are actually good at art and shit.  Ioane and stus opinions mean fucking nothing to me cause they both suck.

That shit looks good as bro. I'd just get rid of the unnessecary Guy on the right with the naaasty outer glow, it just looks out of place and tacked on.

edit. Also I really like the little guys over the buttons. Thought that was a good touch, will be stealing that idea for my Cody stick.

I've always though Guy's left eye looked bung in his Alpha 3 art (because it does, lol)

I'm a big fan of the stage art... hopefully it doesn't come out too pixellated. As for the far right Guy, yeah - it seems a bit superfluous... maybe just ditch that so you get more of the stage on there.

+1 on bringing back his normals' sprites

Post by: CptMunta on May 17, 2010, 08:56:19 PM
Sick stock art Lenny.  8) I really like pixelated ,artwork if it looks like it's been done on purpose. Photoshop scales pixel art horribly though and makes it look blurry. It's best to get an exact palette, blow it up really huge and then fit it to the size you need.

For the life of me I can't remember the name of of the stuff I used.

But if you describe what you want I'm sure most print places could help you.

I got a adhesive label that truckers and mechanics use since it's grease, fade and tear resistant. They print the artwork directly onto a vinyl (I think it's a type of vinyl) sticker, I got mine in more of a matt finish but I think they do gloss. I went to Print Max a local chain, dunno if they have it in Auckland. Cos me round $30 all up.

I tore off the standard art and stuck mine straight on the metal plate, couldn't get rid of all the air bubbles sadly.

Alot of Print Shops get asked for strange stuff all the time it's good to ask them and hope you get someone helpful. It's good to start your sentence with: "I'm looking for something very specific" some of these guys appreciate quirky jobs from the standard: "Photocopy and bind me 500 of these reports by 3 o'clock today."

Working on something like this for our Regionals flyer/poster. Feel free to hit me up if you want it in custom stick art if anyone's keen :)

Also got various high res artworks PM if keen and will megaupload it.

Anybody interested in getting plexiglass panels cut for their Hori Real Arcade Pro 3s?

It looks like a lot of you guys have them, and might want to put custom artwork into them. Till now it looks like everyone who got one got it from Art's Hobbies, but I was thinking of getting one from the place Lenny mentioned in his thread (Plus Plastics).

The problem with that is, they charge a lot for making the autocad image or w/e needed to cut the plexi, and this is by far the biggest chunk of the price. The plus side is that once you have that, future cuts will be cheap as chips.

So rather than pay huge $$ for the designing charge by myself or just buy from Art's, my bright idea was to ask around, and see if any of you guys want to split the cost. The panels themselves would also end up cheaper than buying it from Art (less than the $70NZD he charges), and as well as that members of the NZism forums could ask for the autocad and buy it cheaper in the future as well.

What do you guys think?
Good idea or no?
Anybody keen?

I hope so because I could just get it from Art, but then the cycle would just continue and we'd keep needlessly wasting our money.


P.S. I already have one person interested so as it is, they will already cost around the same as ordering one from Art. It's just with every person interested, the price will be reduced by a lot.

Well I'm keen if you're going through Tek-Innovations becuase I want a TE full plate (http://www.tek-innovations.com/arthobbies/?loc=products&cat=1&subcat=&item=30) NOT a HRAP 3 plexi so I 'm no help if you want to get it cut here but am happy to help cover freight if you go to Tek-Innovations.
Do you live in Auckland? I live in Auckland but have no car so I would have to grab the plexi off you at Ranbats or at Nationals in August if it's here by then. Or I guess I could just get you to courier post it to me at my work when it arrives.

Anyway just let me know what you want to do because I'm gonna grab one either way but it would be better to split freight with you guys if poss.

Graeme I have the autocad for the full TE plexi that you can take to any plastics person.

Just get them to peep it ffor you so you can change what you want.  e.g: rounded or square corners, 6 or 8 buttons.

Holler at me and I'll email it to you.

Yea man that would of been a bitch putting it on..
I got stickers for my fat ps3 and wii, thinking they would be easy as to do.. but man I must of spent like 40 minutes on each lol.

If you get those little air bubbles popping up at the end (Like around your LK button there) But are pretty pleased with the rest of the application and don't feel like re-doing the whole thing.. trick is you can just grab a pin and pop the air bubbles, then push down on them and they look all good again.

well my stick turned out mean as .
i took the whole stick apart to dye the plastic as i wanted to do a good job .
however now all the new parts look so mint , the original black body of the stick looks all scratched up but thats how we roll in pukekohe g .

if anyone wants to know what i used it was vht vinyl dye can from repco for under $20 .
it looks like a paint but its actually a dye that stains the plastic so it wont chip off as its absorbed by the plastic , making it easy to apply and gives a good finish .

i dyed the red bezel , the white end caps and i also dyed the start and select buttons on the back haha i was too cheap to get new ones and they turned out mint , next time i will probably just dye my left over white buttons now i have these new dark hai sanwas .
as its a dye again its fine to use on the buttons as they wont clog up like a paint cos its absorbed into the plastic staining it the new colour .

if your going a light colour instead of black or a dark one like me , you first have to dye it white , then the colour of your choice .


so now its pimped out , cheers to lenny for getting me the new sanwa buttons and buttons caps so now i got 6 buttons instead of eight which is awesome , i hated the extra buttons and the mesh ball top that cost more than the buttons and caps combined looks bad 2 , carbon styles lol

probably get some artwork done and a new plexi top at some stage but this cost me $64 all up including dye , buttons etc so was good cos im on a budget .

Fuck I need some cash to make a gangsta as stick.

Yeah i'ma dye my ish just need a mean art design and i'll dye the buttons and the rest of the shit. Where do you's print the art? I think you can do it at uni ay but not sure.

Depends how you wanna do the art weazey.  You can just get a sticker printed for like 10 bucks at most copy pl;aces, or go the route of getting a plexi etc.

That dye looks mean euan.  I might do my stick orange or yellow to match the rest of my art.  Fucking LED mod is bitch at the moment cause the friggin resistors I buy are all too strong and are dimming the LED's too much.

Gonna go buy some more resistors prolly next week I think.

Here is a paewang I modded for the nationals.

Sanwa JLF and Sanwa buttons.  Still working on a DC stick but not sure I'll get that ready for the nationals.  The plexiglass is a little bit thicker than the Batman stick but it still all good.

Also next time I think I will get the artwork laminated as well to give it a bit of strength.

Hey stu, My understanding is that to activate that stick on the different 2 systems you need to have access to the Turbo button.  It looks like you have covered it up with your plexi though.

Have you put the turbo somewhere else?

Just wondering why u didnt cut the plexi according to the shap of the inner rim of the stick? just looks abit awkward with the square plexi and a roundish cash?

2 cents :D

Post by: stereomonkey on August 12, 2010, 08:55:57 AM
Yeah, I was going to but then I decided I wanted to leave it as it is.  (Lazyness, lol)

Also, quite happy with the plexi I bought.  Picked up a massive sheet (1000mm X 2000mm) at this plexi place in Hamilton for $5.  The guy I purchased it from said he can make the cuts for me if I need help which is even better though I gave it a go at home anway, lol.

Fuck thats an awesome price for that sheet of plexi. Shit seems to be expensive as all hell for big sheets like that most places.

Try a local sign company and ask if they have any offcuts they are happy to get rid of.  There was one literally 100 meters down the road from me and the fulla handed some smaller off cuts for free which will go to good use.

EDIT: If you want some bill I can bring some to the nats.

My 1st attempt at changing my stick. Just a straightforward art swap, but a pretty rough job. Some shoddy egdes and raised bits here and there. Have a fair idea on what to do next. And also what my next image will be, but gotta learn to photoshop. Sigh.

Looks all good bro. I like it. The only thing im not a fan of is the name in the corner. Not for any reason other than i reckon names on sticks looks kind of wanky. Though that almost looks like its been shopped in?

Haha yep thats my 2min photoshop skills at work. I kinda just popped it just for the sake of "what else can i do?" seeing as i just leeched the image from the net lol. But yeah for my next proper one I have an idea of a Seth & Guile piece with them both doing sonic booms. That would be cool  8)

He has to. If he lifts his enormous black wang to try and pee, he overbalances and could potentially drown in the toilet bowl. That shit aint cool.
