you nailed it perfectly with that one     ^%^



Woohoo. I made some changes mate.
New sun (can stay or go) and should I add it to the side art?
Curved the horizon as well:




"Lock it in" Spacies. That looks better than anything that rolled off the Bally/Williams production line. I like it more than the CV art !

 $%$

Cheers mate. Lock it in Eddy!

I know i posted before but Spacies, your work is fantastic. Any tips on learning the illustrator craft...? anyway if you did hold a gun to my head, the only thing i would try is a different colour for the grey writing on Coconut Island  !@#. The other colours around it look so vibrant? Anyway i'll shut up now as i couldnt come up with anything that comes close to that.

Well Done!!!




I know what you are saying but they are meant to be carved from stone. Not much else I can do really because if I lighten them up they 'disappear' into the mountain behind it. It looks much better printed out. :D


Well I couldn't agree more with the "better than Bally' comments that  have been made. This looks absolutely awesome Spacies!

None of you realise just how floored nug was by all of this work - but I had him on the phone almost speechless the last few days.  $$(


Talk about capping off nug's brilliant work on the game itself - Spacies, your artwork does the CI team proud! Well done!

Thats just awesome! Nug, I am so stoked you like it mate. I think it is f**king awesome too but I am biased. Its the only pin art I have done!

Looks awesome Spacies  ^^^

 $&&



Excellent work, Spacies.

And  $&& to you too :D

Make sure you don't forget bleed.  I've seen a couple of repro cab decals lately that have no bleed and therefore no room for error.  Most people need a little breathing room.  I don't because I install everything perfectly  #@#

Good point Chuck! We might need a couple of inches all round!

Yeah, I have that in mind. Nug said he added a bit for trimming.

Nug, the dims you gave me, how much did you add all round on those measurements you gave me?

Oh, I removed the flare from the headbox and put in the sun. I have added some glow but that was after I saved this pic.

You happy with that or should I add some more?
I am happy to leave it as is if you are confident enough mate :D

Alternative sun on the sides and top:



Old style:

Yep- agree - lose the sun.

Spacies might have got a bit addicted to making this already OUTSTANDING art look a little bit better, its a bit of an addiction to create and then once happy with it you think 'what MORE ' can I do that will add to this image etc.

Sun has gone. Back to the flare instead.

Here is the final headbox:



Wotto, I agree. Time to just pull the plug on this instead of staring at it and thinking about what to do.
