I was thinking the same thing when Arcade Sona was released for purchase. Amazing, might do my own and alter it a bit.

Howdy, I got an account on this forum because I just got into fighting games and wanted to show off my Aigis stick!

Used to be one of the Triple H and the Rock Madcatz sticks, but I think I'll take the pretty robot lady instead...

It has a Sanwa JLF stick and OBSF-30 buttons.

This is my first arcade stick. I built it last week and so far it works great. Also, I apologize for the crappy cell phone picture, it looks a lot better in person.

I've also started work on a Slayer themed stick, but due to an accident I had at work (cut my index finger tip off with scissors yesterday), I haven't been able to work on it since this picture was taken.

Put the :ballNA: art in yesterday, besides the black button replacing a broken blue one for the time being, this stick is done.

Since it's Qanba it's already dual-modded, and I changed the joystick to optical (which I'm really liking).

Just had mine recently modded by a good friend with clears + led lights :3c

Knowing myself I'll probably swap out the art...again...in a few months :v:

and I'll prolly swap .......the balltop and dustcover next time haha ;;;

Posted

Though considering what USED to be on my stick prior to that? I beg to differ :3c

Here is the last stick I made :

The side parts are made of stainless steel, and the top and bottom panels are made of 9mm acrylic glass.

The edges are polished to get the transparent effect back.

The wiring is the smallest as possible.

Its PC and ps3 compatible.

more pics on my website

Hope you like it :)

My first attempt at going all out on a template.

*snip*

Nice job, only extremely minor gripe would be that those "ABCD" areas would be cut out for actual use, so if really wanted to indicate which button is what you'd have to label "near" the button instead of on them. (which I would never do, because people can change them to whatever they want)

As for the actual art I think it's a clever idea to combine the Arcade Style char profiles with FF7 :p

What template did you use, incidentally/where can I get it?

Thanks! I got my template here,

Mine's a Round 2 TE stick (Round 1 works)

The actual arcade style char profile stuff?

I just used the Rachel one and copy-pasted whichever parts I needed, then added drop shadow colors over the pieces with a blur for the glowing effect. Erased the B in Type-B and just typed in my own S.

I screwed up though and saved the full-sized image as a PNG instead of keeping it in its regular format as requested. Ah well.

If clear sanwa/seimitsu buttons are used, he can still see them from inside the buttons so its not really an issue.

Wait, what? How would the buttons get through the paper to the wiring below lol. Or do they have crazy buttons that let you put artwork on the inside of the button? Although honestly that's starting to get to the area of "too much effort" for me :yaaay:

There is such buttons, when you order your artwork they give you the buttons cut outs which you fit inside your button and place according to your artwork so that it all fits. Here's mine back when I tried clear seimitsu buttons http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b102/JohnBobby/IMG_20120312_131742.jpg (it was a mess and there was a typo on my artwork, so I'm once again rocking on regular sanwas)

Neat. I've been wanting to get into artwork design for sticks, but I don't have any way of actually creating the stuff myself. And I never go to local scenes or anything so I can never find a real point to do it. I'd be willing to design something if someone wanted to use it for their own stick, though.

I have that exact same stick, though. Is it the "Round 1 TE" thing template that was linked earlier by Kuraudo?

I was infatuated with your stick when you had let me use it at NEC. Octo-gate felt nice. was less constricted.

I dunno if i wannna re-design a fightstick PRO seeing as how the artwork is super glues on with a plastic like cover over it.

You can get something called lamilabel at Kinko's stores that essentially turns whatever you print into a sticker. I used it to replace the art on an SE, which is similar to the PRO, I think.

EDIT: Here's a contribution of stick art. I'm going to wait till I can get a high-res copy of the new Nu art before I finalize it, though.
