Untitled/Original Fretboard

[Zhegan]

I've been practicing my drawing skills lately (which undoubtedly need more said 'practice'), and started drawing a seamless texture with a seamless border thing to go with it. I never really intended it to be used for anything, but it's starting to look sorta neat, so I figured I'd preview it as a Guitar Zero/"whatever the f*** this game is called now" fretboard.



I didn't know the actual aspect ratio of the fretboard because I was too lazy to check, so I guessed 2:1. Feel free to make any comments or suggestions on what I should do with this (pretty much everything is still in it's own layer in the PSD, so anything can be changed at this point in time). The image is MOSTLY seamless, though I think it's off by 1 or 2 pixels, if people want me to finish it I'll obviously fix that.

Also I'd figured I'd post this to let the community know I didn't die or anything .

Thats pretty darn cool right there zhegan. I like it a lot and would definately use it in my GZ. Finish up!!

Also, nice to know your not dead..

Alright, I mostly finished the fretboard, all it really needs now is to be resized to the correct dimensions. I also made a version to be used during starpower .



If I forgot anything or if anything sucks let me know.

Enjoy!

Oh that's just beautiful! You deserve an exalt, hoping to see more of like this..
What are you using to get stuff like that, besides your drawing skills, but software etc.? Or is that hand-drawn?

you don't need to add the beat lines (frets bars), gz already does that. the other thing i'm concerned with here is that most of the time when fretboards are light and dark, it's normally harder to see some note >.< although, i haven't tried it so i'm just guessing (even if that was the case, making it a shade darker wouldn't be hard)

with that said, it looks very nice! i love the sketchy texture and starpower effect

... and i agree with sensay, it's pretty nice to know your still alive, haha

just make the texture for the fretboard line a transparent block... that'll fix it.

Yeah but then when the song changes BPM the carefully synced songs won't look right.

Great work Zhegan! Exalted!
