Forgot to mention something that maybe it's important. Will try to explain the best way that I can with my almost perfect English 
What you are seeing on these previews has the mid tones and shadows only. (except the fire that was made directly with color)
I just take out the mid tone layer for you guys to get a better feel of the drawing. But all the lighting is not yet made.
I usually make the main architecture first, called the wireframe. It's the foundation of the drawing, the black lines that define the volumes. But in this case I wanted to try something different: I wanted to make these black lines at the same time as the mid tones and shadows. And then do the lights after. (the way to go is always shadows first and light after, but the wireframe is done before all of this)
I always like to try new stuff when I make a new project. Makes me learn and evolve much more.
So, here is the art that is made, where there is no light (except the fire):

I am certainly no artist and I am definitely not criticizing your work. I think you do an awesome job, but there is something just not right about Stallone's face that is bothering me. I think maybe not elongated or oval enough and his upper lip is a bit too fat/thick. I think the chin needs to be more downward/pointed and not so squared. The drawing looks more like he does now (after having some work done) rather than he did back then. I would not have even mentioned it if you had not redone Sandra Bullock's face. I don't think the first version even looked like her but you totally nailed it with the new version. So that being said, you are the expert, so feel free to ignore me, especially if no one else feels that way. I'm sure I will be buying one either way. Thanks for what you are doing! Keep up the great work!
Quoted from action76:you are the expert, so feel free to ignore me
hahahha No I don't ignore any comments.
I read everything and pay close attention to every critic. Some of them are things I agree, some of them not.
As for Stallone's face, you are right. You can see that it's Stallone (this is my first goal lol) but it's not perfect. This is what happens when you are not an illustrator god. hahahaha
His face is very weird and different from the average person. He has the most weirdest eyes, his upper lip seems pointed to the moon, his chin is way too much too the back into the neck. This makes my task very hard because I can't draw 100% accurately lol. I don't think many illustrators can though 
. As long as it looks like him it's ok.
He has a pretty nose... which is something that I managed to totally screw up hahahaha
I was already making improvements on his face before you made the comment 
Quoted from hassanchop:Done a lot of stuff these last few days.
Here is the wip - mid tones and shadows only (except the fire):

Snipes and Stallone look great!
New Stallone looks a lot better! I liked Sandras eyes better in your first one though where she is looking more towards the center at the player. I have a few buddies who own this game and your work is outstanding. Great job!

Looking really good Fed! That Stallone is absolutely perfect! Love it.
I like Sandra Bullock better as well but i do agree with the poster above she has more impact if she was looking directly at the player like she was before.
I made her look to the front to match the guys that are looking at their "target", to try to balance things a little.
If she looks at the player she will be the only one but I will revert it to see if it remains balanced.
Quoted from hassanchop:A few colors and lights in:
(you see some blue reflections on Spartan's face because the background will be blue with lights and stuff..)

Sly looks fucking slick! I should get one of these for an led translite frame!
Great work!
I didn't think demolition man would lend itself as well as the walking dead did to a hand drawn style, but man, was I wrong. This is turning out amazing! Great work so far hassanchop
Thanks for all the words! It means a lot to me!
I am also very happy with the direction that this is going and I can now say with confidence that it will be a blast when it’s done.
Quoted from Captainhook:YES ^ I bought the TWD one he made.[quoted image]
Wow, that looks great. Did not know you did a few of these. Wow.
My local producer/distributor can only make quality translites for Stern/DE's type translites. They are not good enough for Williams's games because these have a different effect on the light that goes through.
So I will get another producer that makes these with the best quality I have ever seen.
If anyone doesn't want to keep looking at this topic to know when it's available, just pm me your email and I will let you know when the time comes.
Anyway, I am aiming for September.
Quoted from Malenko:are you going to hide 3 seashells in the art?
Haha no I don’t think so
As nice as it is, the best thing is how it just looks so right with the rest of the cabinet artwork.

Quoted from MotorCityMatt:Sandra should look hot, almost looks like she is headless.
I think it looks great but perhaps you mean Bodyless not headless? The body could use a bit more definition. Not sure how you get her to look hot? This is as hot as it’s get from demolition man... is it really that far off?

Putting it behind Spartan looks weird. Made a test for you guys to see, but it will get back to the front in the end:

The way it is like semi transparent is for the art to stand out more. the artist of the original translite also made it semi transparent.
Here is a test with it at 100%. IMO it takes too much of the spotlight of the rest of the art:

I still have a lot of stuff to do and to test on the background so you never know how it will look in the end..
Quoted from dannunz:The only thing I am not a fan of is Sandra's facial expression. Shading does not look right IMO. She should look more like the photo above.
I agree, if you showed someone just the Snipes or Stallone they would easily be able to identify them. But if you showed someone Bullock, I'm not sure most people would know it is her. I wonder if a picture of he smiling would work better. When I think of her in the movie, I picture her happy not really serious or threatening at all. Even on the original translite she has a smirk on her face. Other than that, I love this this whole thing.
Also, I agree with the text behind Stallone's head. In front seems off.

Kind of agree on this one...
