PurpGuy's Mad Catz SE KoF XIII Panels

[PurpGuy]

All new designs are added to this post, so check here first!

These images were designed for the Mad Catz Street Fighter IV Arcade Fight Stick SE.  There's no shortage of TE stick art anywhere, but SE sticks seem to be the redheaded stepchildren.  That's where I come in!  There's not a whole lot of space on an SE stick to work with, but some of these turned out pretty good.  Generally, I recommend the V4 editions, but some of the V2s are pretty nice also.

You use the Preview image as a guideline.  You use the Print image as your actual printout.  It should be printed out at the full size of the paper.  Any paper will do, but I recommend Kodak Photo Paper, Gloss/Brilliant/Brilliante.  (I've been printing out a bunch of Magic: the Gathering cards and you can't tell the difference).  Then take it to Kinko's and get it laminated stickered.  When applying it, try to stick to the Preview as closely as possible.  Try to get the KoF XIII logo in the bottom right corner as close to the edges as you can (without going over them). You do have some wiggle room, and the edges will get trimmed smaller than the printed area.

I may write up a complete SE modification guide, including pictures, when I purchase another stick next month.

Awesome stuff.

I noticed that for Athena and Yuri, you're using the earlier version of their artwork. Was that intentional? I do think Yuri's earlier artwork looked nicer.

All the images I'm using came from Creative Uncut:

http://www.creativeuncut.com/art_king-of-fighters-xii_a.html
http://www.creativeuncut.com/art_king-of-fighters-xiii_a.html

I didn't know there was newer artwork for those two, but I'll take a look later!

Today I'm starting individual character layouts, but I want to spice them up a little with stuff like move lists, and memorable quotes.  This current project may take several days.

[Remzi]

Purp, I could help with the individual character one, I've seen ones like that before.

Edit : Fixed up the one you made for me a bit. Here it is. It's fairly different from the original design, but I think it looks lovely.

[PurpGuy]

Looks good!  Be sure to print it out on a nice, thick grade of paper though, as that's a lot of ink in the background.

I've got the basic framework all done for the individual versions, now I just need to find move lists and funny engrish quotes, but I'll get back to that later.  I need a hamburger.

[THE ANSWER]

This are great, thank you very much.

If I may I would like to make a special request, can you make something "Godlike" with Saiki and Awaken Saiki, I have and idea for a custom stick theme.

'Course, lamilabel is good enough. I'll blue moves that can be EX'd.

EDIT: All designs moved to first post

[PurpGuy]

Today I did a Revision 2 of all the single character designs.  All designs are included within the first post of the thread.

- Added all of the XIII exclusive characters (Vice, Takuma, K', Kula, Maxima, Mai, King, Yuri, Hwa Jai, Raiden, Billy).  Since they don't have XII portraits, I recycled their XIII portraits for the background image.

- Removed the button labels to standardize the designs between XBox 360 and PS3, as well as custom button layouts, and aesthetic taste.

- Increased the size of the SNKP logo, and added an Atlus logo.

- Fiddled with the dither colours.

[THE ANSWER]

Thank you, I love the Billy Kane template.

[Remzi]

Atlus logo = Win.

I'll probably make an LB2-theme for my TE.

[sibarraz]

The leona one is gorgeous

[THE ANSWER]

You should use some of this for your next templates
