I posted an earlier version of this in the Overall MK forum like a week ago. This design implements the classic Mortal Kombat button layout. When I make it the joystick will be a balltop, the buttons will be convex see through, as indicated by the empty circles, with the block (middle) button being a mini dragon logo (as shown).

Tell me what you think.

That needs to be at at least triple the resolution, or your print is going to come out extremely pixelated. Also, the design itself is pixelated, it looks like it was done in MSPaint. I'd really recommend getting a photoshop expert to help you out. Modding sticks is very expensive, and you're gonna want your print to look as nice as you can.

Yes, you are correct, it was done using paint. I should have mentioned in the first post that its basically just a rough blueprint right now

Well. When you go up in resolution, if you're planning on keeping the sprites at the bottom, they're either going to be much smaller, or highly pixelated.

My personal preference would be to opt to remove them. It seems like it'd make it a little too busy. The background image is pretty cool, it may be a bit bright though.

I think it'd work though, but yea, you might try playing around with a few designs before you settle on one.

I dug up an old rough draft that I was gonna use for my stick. You might try playin' around with something a bit more subtle.

Do you think this would work better, Luca? or still too pixilated?

It's definitely gonna come out very pixelated. You need to try and create this at the highest resolution possible to get the best possible quality. Something of that resolution would have the pixels at least tripled in size when printed.

The best advice I could give you is to try and find very large images, so you can work at a much higher resolution.
