Greetings!

So the sleeve has officially begun, and I'd love to hear from you guys on some great artworky things! The Time Fantasy LSD Snail was by far the most important image, so we started with that as the anchor. Now it's time to design everything around it.

Some of the images that are mandatory/likely to be there (because they have a place in my heart) are the RFM monster at the flippers, the Space Invaders guy is likely to be there, and I'd like to get a pin up, which I'm considering the woman on Centaur. There's not going to be a ton of room for really big pieces, so the flow is going to be the bigger things, but with LOTS of smaller things going into it inbetween so it doesn't look like just several individual tattoos, but a flowy sleeve.

For example, up by the RFM guy we are doing darkness and stars, with the little spacships. Around the TF Snail, some rainbows and mushrooms. Elsewhere, I think that Deadheads and Leapers will be good filler, and of course some Jackpot and maybe Shoot Agains. The world is my oyster. Also, I absolutely LOVE the little things on the playfield that you never notice or think of in addition to the major art pieces. So all of those little tiny tidbits I'm looking for (in addition to pinups and cool major artwork things).

Please post more specific (and clear-ish) photos, and not just a machine... I'm looking to get pretty detailed

And... GO!

Thanks!!

More amazing Than the sleeve idea, is the fact that you've been a member for 11 years and only have 2 posts.

I've never been good with words, which is why I'm in such a delicate conundrum.

I assume you mean AFM-style UFOs?

The girls on the back glass of Wizard
Paragon

I'd suggest looking at the pictures on the sides of back boxes ,

I like the flying cow on the upper left corner of the MM back glass a lot.
