Sega SC-3000 Unified Theme

[shredder]

Hey all, I wanted an SC-3000 theme to go with the rest of my unified themes in HS. Couldn't find one so I decided to start making one. I just finished this in photoshop, what do yall lthink? Any changes need to be done before exporting? 

 

FYI this is a screenshot i took of the art in photoshop

This is what I have for the SC-3000. Always nice to have options though...

i made one for myself a while back
i went for a Chack'n Pop artwork also,
the computer artwork i got is flat thou.

@Honosuseri I thought about doing something with the lines as a background but when i think of the square background i think of the Sega Master System more than the SG 3000, I also have the brown theme. I like the mech artwork. I like that i basically made the same video bezel  as this theme, except i prefer to have the frame a little embossed to give it some depth. I don't like the black gradient....It doesn't resonate well with me. 

@dejarik Thanks, the chack n' Pop seemed to be the best quality/easiest artwork i could find to cut out that didn't look like total shit to begin with.... I think i might try a couple different mascot arts and post em.

Wasn't looking for you to "justify" your theme dude. Just showing what I had, as you said you couldn't find a theme.

I agree with you about the video border, other than that I'm quite happy with it as is. As I said it's nice to have options, that's the beauty of Hyperspin we can all do things differently

naw, I'm just critiquing dude,; please don't take offense.  That's what I posted it here for, to be picked apart, if it's shit, i want to know about it so i can make it better. I used to post some of my themes here in the past and people would just criticize the shit out of them...but ya know what, They turned into something better than I ever thought of in the end...so that's why i do it. So hell yeah, tell me they suck if they do, but also tell me what would make them better, I am doing this purely for new ideas or something i haven't thought of doing. 

Here is another artwork....kinda lame in my opinion and this one was a fair amount of work to to get the afterburners the way i wanted them ....im not that impressed with it, but posting it here anyway. If i went this route, i'd probably make a hover animation for the jet.

This one feels kinda legit too, I'll clean up the background more, but I kinda like this layout too 

[shredder]

Alright, here is what I'm rolling with. Since I went through the trouble of doing the Jet, I'll do a theme for both versions, I'll make a matching Default theme too and post them if yall want em. Thanks for the help guys, I actually did end up liking the Master System square background. 

[Honosuseri]

Jet looks good, was worth the effort

[shredder]

Thanks Man Here's the default to go with it 

 

[Honosuseri]

Yeah looks good. The square background is a better contrast to the blue you were using before. I'd be happy with it too if I were you

Yes that's what i thou exactly, it's a good mascot choice, i also prefer the second background you are using now,

Now that i think of it.. when i made mine, i do recall thinking to myself that the mascot pic was to small and testing a larger size was hiding to much of the video frame.

so mine look very similar to what you made.
