I'm looking for thoughts, opinions and ideas on these sideboard decals. I like them, but I'm not in love with them. I saved my work in stages, so I can basically remove or replace anything.

Thank you,
Luke

PS: There is an easter egg in each, can you spot them?

Good idea, I like that you've echoed the colors of the cabinet. Not digging the lightning around the fisherman though. Seems a little out of place.

Some water skiers might go nice too.
 
Thank you for the feedback. I wasn't really sure about the lightning, and it would be easy to remove. I was trying to add another element from the backglass, with the lightning. My original idea was actually to do something with the waterskiers or jetskis, with a torpedo following them to reference the video mode, but I was unable to find any images that seemed to fit that idea.

To the guys interested in buying a copy...what would you like to see on the final product? I'm good with photoshop, but I'm struggling to find some good images to play with. I'm quite happy with the left, it's basically the bigfoot (edited from the Yetti in whitewater) and the mosquito swarm from the playfield plastics. Anything else fun you can think of for the left? Should it be busier or just keep it simple. I just need other opinions.

Thanks,
Luke
 
I think the idea is great, (I get the above the water view point, it makes sense) I would try to get the background (trees etc... ) sharper. They seem lower rez than the foreground images. I would try to somehow match the scenery with the corresponding location on the PF (if that makes sense).
It's a good draft though. Maybe a boat, more fish... Just a suggestion.
 
Here is an update with a cleaned up background. I'm still looking for more feedback...

I see bigfoot as just a general northwoods thing, plus it's a nice little Whitewater easter egg. Other suggestions have included an outhouse and waterskier.
 
I have a ft, and would like a set too. I like the lightning, but not the "Bigfoot" so much. Not sure how, that fits into the game. Would like a set though. How much ya thinkin'?
