All participants will get a free mini of choice from the test run whenever I can get around to doing it (hopefully over my spring break which starts in 2 weeks which is why I'm trying to get designs together)

Do you need me to do SVC again but better?

There is a good SvC at that House of Arcades site, so I didn't think I needed to put it to my UNIX server.

My MS5 mini

tomorrow when I'm not as tired I'll be adding copyright info SNKP and SNK Neo Geo logos to the bottom, and then for sure adding a thick black line around the top, possibly a thick red line around the bottom.

Well after lots of trial and error I'm still not sure how much I like this MS4 mini, the art for the game flat out sucks :) and I could not find a decent background pattern to use. So here we go, I'd only really look to make the lettering at the bottom black instead of white. Other than that I have a few rearrangement ideas to see what else I can make it look like, but I do like the background.

Look guys the Intellivision people did it for games that didn't get overlays. Why no interest for the mini's :(

Just realized I put up the wrong pic link, but that guy above is wearing that SNK tribute tee anyway, the Intellivision people made instruction cards for the 30 something games that didn't have them :( Help me do the same for mini's

Least helpful advise you can get from professional artist/designer: You may want to leave more of a boarder around the art so that the logo and figures etc. don't get covered by the MM holder...

Also, you may want to choose a background color that contrasts the figures more. Marco and Trevor's hair, not to mention the flesh tones don't stand out from it enough. Hope this helps.

Thanks I'm really struggling with making an MS4 mini that I like so far the 2 that I've done that I like the best are these two SS5 and MS5
