Need opinions on a stick design

[KoshTheKoala]

Edit: Page 2 has the final stick.




I made 5 stick designs that I'm considering.

The two rightmost buttons will be filled with hole plugs, but the first 6 are going to be seimitsu transparent buttons.

I already have 1 vote each on stick 1 and 5.

Design 1:

Old version

Design 2:

Design 3:

Design 4:

Design 5:

old version

Design 6: (late entry, no poll option for it)

Design 7: (heavy modification of Design 1)

The fifth one has a really stylish look to it. 2nd & 3rd look like they'll be in varying states on "pwned by button holes."

 

[KoshTheKoala]

Stupid HFS. >.<

 

[ShenYu]

Yeah. It's hard to fit nice artwork onto the HFS3. :p

Here's one I did.

 

[KoshTheKoala]

[ShenYu]

Printed on adhesive vinyl.

I like design 5 xD

I'm going to tell you right off the bat, you dont want ANY buttons to cover a characters face. Yes, even if you are using cleartops. There will always be a section of the button plughole that wont have art and it will screw up the design. So that immediately rules out design 3.

Second... you want to remember the location of the DUST COVER that goes around the joystick shaft. This is a large disc and it will cover the art. This immediately rules out design 2... and puts both design 4 and 5 into question as whether or not the dust cover is too close to Taki's face. you dont want things bordering on the edges of anything as it doesn't look as nice...

As for design 1, just move Igunisu a little bit to the right so that she has some move to breath. You can easily use design 3 though if you dump the new HRAP3 button layout and go with the old HRAP2 button layout.

 

[ShenYu]

The design is for a HFS3. Which rules out the idea of changing button layouts unless you somehow make a new plate.

The 4th and 5th designs, the dust cover shouldn't cover more than a sliver of Taki's face. Since the area surrounding the joystick hole is mostly dark, it shouldn't be much of a problem.

That said, Im having second thoughts about how well bright artwork like the 4th and 5th designs would look like on the dark HFS3.

 

[KoshTheKoala]

Yeah I was thinking about that too. :/

I can make the last two darker actually, and move the foreground taki to the right slightly to make sure she's not being owned by the stick's dust cover.

 

[KoshTheKoala]

Modified versions of 1 and 5:

Stick 5 is darker and I repositioned both Takis.

Stick 1 has Ignis moved to the right and I photoshopped in material on the left... it didn't exist before.

Stick 5=win

 

[Nasarika]

mosaic taki

 

[KoshTheKoala]

Well at least I know no one likes design 3. haha

 

[KoshTheKoala]

I just had an inspiration!

 

[ojste]

whatever you do don't go with 4 >.<

the rest all look ok to me

 

[Syrpiektre]

uh.... The new one will fit, but... Try getting out of explaining why your bat-top is sticking out of her boobs.
