Post up your arcade stick.

[Souji5]

Here is the 1.5 version of the Proto-Stick, a few changes have been made to the overall case shape.

Parts Used:

Brazilian Ebonywood case

Seimitsu Smoke buttons and balltop

JLF stick

PS360 PCB

[W.E.M.P.]

So I just got my Blazblue TE stick a couple weeks ago, and now that I have gotten used to using it ( for the most part >> ) I want to add some custom art, obviously! But I have no ability to create a layout pleasing to the eye. What does one do at that point? Find someone to make a layout for me? Lrn2photoshop? :psyduck:

[Souji5]

Here's a new custom

Features:

Brazilian Ebony case

PS360+McCthulhu+Imp v2 pcbs

Custom Balltop from Sugar Kane+Broken Engli5h

Custom art

Souji I've seen some other sticks you posted on SRK and I have to say all your fightsticks are awesome!

Photoshop isn't difficult to learn, what scares most people is seeing it for the first time and not knowing what to do. Luckily there are millions of tutorials out there only a google search away.

But being good at photoshop is no replacement for having a good sense of aesthetics and design...

You might want to ask COR or someone with more experience, I'm still learning to photoshop for myself

A little on topic and to present those Joysticks!

I just found this site for joystick stands! The prices start about about $59.99 the others cost a little more depending on how you wanted!

For my first arcade stick mod, I did a paewang rev mod, and this is what I came up with. It isn't perfect but it will do for now. A wood case one would be ideal in the future, but I'm happy with the results from this one aside from my shotty painting abilities lol. http://youtu.be/-aPPA93ZFgU Let me know what you think! P.S. because there is a lot of text in it, and I used a specific font style, it's better to watch it at 720P. Later!

[yashanyu1]

only critique, the text for the bubble looks odd, find a better font.

[Alpha152]

Ok, thanks for the feedback.

Well, here's mine. It's a regular SE, with custom art and a full sanwa mod.

It needs a little touch on some parts though, the spray is starting to wear off in the artwork's corners....

[deathVIAavatar]

Just posted a follow up video to my original video regarding my Paewang Revolution Mod. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EghfnC7O1LA It mainly covers in brief detail some does and don'ts I came across while painting something for the first time. Shows the tools I used too. For any new modders like, like I still am, it's some decent info when coupled with the other guides out there. Hope you like.

Oh souji your wood makes me wood.

Why hello ^_^

So I've recently got into photoshop to attempt to make stick art of my own and with my limited knowledge I've created this.

I going to get this printed out soon so if I could get some critique that would be helpful for improvements.

[yashanyu1]

Honestly I think You put too much into the design, From my experience I find simpler designs to be much more attractive.

If you want my input, ditch the A, B, C, and Ouroburos letters they are a bit tacky I do like the start button though.

I like the feel of the background for the right side, Only thing I would Change about that is the brightness, Its a tad too bright for my tastes, (again, just my personal opinion)

Darken the colors surrounding your buttons as well.

I like the hazama text

The left side...Clutter, Clutter Everywhere. I honestly think you should just simplify it. Get rid of the ghost, and black crest in the back. You do better with just a simple gradient fading in imo or even just a black background fading in with the white crest in the back showing through...

oh and change the positioning of the crest, Its too far to the left.

Alright my input has been given, I'd like to see what you do with your design

[Sandvich11]

Thanks, i''ll get to fixing it up whenever I get time.

[Klesk]

I'm just going to leave this here.

[FormerlyUnknown]

it's....strangly beautifull

[SkyKing]

Just changed the art, buttons, and balltop on my TE. I forgot to place the screw on the bottom-left corner since the nut fell out of place inside the case.

[Sandvich11]

After I almost finished editing my stick art I called it a night and when I woke up next morning, I find that my portable harddrive which contained the psd image, decided to die so I had to start from scratch.

Anyways one Yash-critique later,

I was also wondering if I should add a red outline effect to the crest like so,

http://img857.imageshack.us/img857/3315/vxsatemplatepreview2.png

Still open to more suggestions if any of you think this looks crappy in any way

[FormerlyUnknown]

the blazblue emblem and the colors around the buttons looks a little out of place on a haz stick...just kinda interrupt the flow of the thing to me

[Klesk]

Sandvich, i'd have to say that the BlazBlue logo is a bit distracting from the rest of the art and the button glow is way too strong in comparison to the start button. Although I do not think the red glow fits, I think if you played around with the colors and outline effects you could get something good.

Mind telling what arcade stick that art is for? I'm just curious.
