I am purchasing a DDR pad and they allow custom skin. I am in process of making one right now but I'd like to see if there are more talented people. I'm not too creative.

Here is what I have so far:



If you would like the template .psd for the arrows I can provide.

Requirements:
Touhou theme obviously
7000x7000
200 DPI

Up to 2k FG in compensation if wanted.

7000x7000 is pretty rough. Also, I wouldn't waste money on just a monochrome design, make them earn their money.

This belongs in request forum

Also print to pixel dpi is 300 especially for something that big

Don't work on it with photoshop it should be worked on in illustrator

Get an ai file and gif/png/pdf from it

Mr. Yuuki said to make them earn their money, am I doing it right? Thought about it pretty good as I really like monochrome looks in general. I am liking this overall much better though.



Most likely going to split the checkered background in just the corners as I won't be able to fill up entire background without enlarging to hell or repeating. Don't really want to repeat the background because I want it to be different everywhere you look. The background consists of 3 9x5 rectangles.

This is still a very early work in progress and things are just everywhere currently. Any tips or ideas would be appreciated. I am particularly concerned about what to do with the "arrows" as they need to be more square, and well foot friendly. (Foot wont look out of place when stepping in the area)

People actually look at the pads for arrows?

Last I remember when I was hardcore into DDR/ITG, your foot knows where to go, not your eyes.

Well of course not but I'd like it to look not out of place but I guess it's fine as is.

I'm almost done! Did borders and measured background to fit pixel perfect. Looks a bit too busy though or too much going on IMO. Now just need 2 more renders, make "steps" not see-through, and put in full background, not just repeats. Going to need crop hidden parts to use in visible areas so hopefully I won't have to repeat. Corners look bit weird but I'm too lazy to make it look natural. Overall though I like it. Again, thoughts or ideas would be nice.

I'ld ditch the nekoworks logos on the checkerboards
hearts are your pattern you need more of them organized splashey to counter ballance the checkerboards offset in the background with a bit of chaos

i really like it though i never thought about skinning a ddr pad fuck a bunch of arrows

Yeah I am going to get rid of them. Just left them there until I had everything ready to move around.

What do you mean organized splashy?

The option wasn't available until now. The people that are making the pad offer customization so just decided to mix two things I love, DDR and Touhou.
The pad itself is completely smooth, no screws or anything so what you see here will be exactly how it looks on pad but shinier.

tbh i didnt know posted when you filled everything in checkorboard (which is offcenter in a couple spots btw)


i liked the way it was before it got all symetrical i felt like the partial checkorboard would have made a nice middleground behind your renders and on top of some hearts and c4d
i felt like with a bit more chaos going on you could work with lighting to give the illusion of depth while using the hearts on top of renders in chosen places and behind checkorboard in others to interweave your foreground with the background
idk it's your DDR pad I need to start thinking how i will design mine these things have way come down in price
