Joe Higashi Sega 2p Korean Arcade Stick Art

This was a really fun project. As an avid fighting game fan, I got into arcade sticks a few years ago. I decided to build my own stick from scratch so that I could completely tailor it to my liking, and having custom art was one of my top priorities. Joe is one of my favorite characters in fighting games, so illustrating and designing a layout that conveyed the story of the character while meeting my sensibilities and working for the overall arcade stick was a fun challenge. His classic red and gold color scheme is mimicked in the color of the battop lever and buttons around the stick.
