The other console... (UPDATED 11-26)

[Alynn]

Ok I was going along just fine with my newest background when I hit a bit of spriters block...

The left console as left me blank, I thought about putting more monitors on it like I have on the right side, but that would make it a bit too symetrical, but an entire panel of colored lights seems like overkill.

So could you perhaps give me some ideas on what can go on that left console portion?

What is the background for?  That would help with brainstorming ^_^

How about: communication equipment (a mike, earphones, etc.), radars, miscellaneous levers, more screens but vary them somewhat (smaller, green screen like the ones above, etc.), more buttons but put them on a black panel, etc.  I don't think the content needs to vary much, just the presentation.

you could go with vertical strips of buttons.   Or big levers.   All the lines on the right are horizontal, would break it up a bit if you made the left side up and down thingies.

It's a security room, hence all the survalance screens and computer monitors. hrm... maybe a lever or two, but that's a bit more mechanical than electrical... I suppose it doesn't entirely matter, as they won't really do anything.

Ok, Update in top post.

I added a flat monitor into the console, a lever housing (sans lever at the moment) another gauge, and some people that are being monitored.

There is still a few bare spots, I'm debating on just putting more colored buttons/lights in that area...

Anything else?
