A patriotic bikini needs a patriotic piece of stick art.

This is actually a sample that Neuco rejected for his stick. The final piece is a bit different.

EDIT: You can get the isolated Tina image here.

Be warned though, it's a huge (57 mb) PNG.

OK, so I have been playing around with the trial version of Photoshop CS6. And made 2 (kinda silly) pieces for the Brawl stick/SF IV SE stick. Wondered what you all thought about them? This is the first time I've used photoshop so these may be rough... All the photos came from google.

Edit: can't get the image to show, so I will link it for now.

I like the Hayabusa one. I think it's a nice start. Can you do some sort of highlight around the edges of his head? Or maybe just use a smoothing tool around the edges so it blends better with the background. But overall, I think it's decent.

The hayabusa artstyle is damn cool, even if I don't even like Busa. The Eliot x Lion, is... err... kinda gay. Anyway, maybe you could try some effects or something with the VF font. Maybe making it look like VF5 font from the cover. Like this:

I mean, it looks a bit plain as it is.

Thats what I was going for, lol.

Yeah, I have been playing with that. It looks super jagged/rough when looking at it blown up.

Thanks for the critiques and compliments guys. I am working to make things better. Those were early mess arounds. Though I will prolly keep the overall Hayabusa one and fix it up. And, make a legit Eliot-Lion one.

After you play around w/it some I'd like to hear your 'review'.

Enjoy!
If I were to rank sticks made my major manufacturers (in other words, not counting Qanba/Eightarc).

SS-Tier:
-Razer arcade stick (to be named)

S-Tier
-MCZ TE
-MCZ FightStick VS
-Hori VLX

A-Tier
-HRAP.V series
-MCZ FightStick Pro

B-Tier
-Exaprize Sanwa Edition

C-Tier
-PDK MK Tournament Edition

Yes, in my humble opinion, this is the best stick among the above. The only thing missing is dual console compatibility which, as we all know, Razer cannot legally do.

That said, they've done the next best thing by making it easy to modify.

Wow, the Razer is that good?

What about the Qanba Q4 and the Hori Fighting Edge?

EDIT- I got a Hori V series and like it better than my MCZ TE.
I switch out all buttons on my sticks to Sanwa RG's.

In terms of customization, the Razer has them all beat. The only advantage of a Qanba is the fact that it's dual console out of the box. The only stick that comes close to the Razer in this front is the JoyTron EXChanger (which does do dual console), but good luck getting it outside Korea.

As for the Fighting Edge, I've never tried it.

As for the HRAP.V series. I find that they don't feel as solid as the TE or even the old HRAP3. Now the Razer on the other hand feels mad solid. It's a substantial piece of kit.

HRAP V series- I like the beveled area where my palm sits with no screws in the way.
I travel and so the lightness is good and I like the handles on the sides. It's been durable enough to survive the years of travel I've put it through (so far).
Guess I've always been a Hori and JP fan peep!

Heard cause of a MS license the buttons on the 360 Fightin Edge CAN'T be cusomized (binded to different buttons) on the stick's LED panel.
Other than that have only heard good things about it.
