Description I had some (okay, quite a bit of) sticker paper left from a big project last year, so I decided to put it to good use and personalise my Wii and wiimote, hah. There's also a practical purpose, since I'm not the only person with a wiimote at this school and it's nice to have it be instantly identifiable, especially during communal gaming sessions.

yes, I know, the Wii exists because of dorks like me. whatever. this will probably be scrapped later because it's a crap photo, I just wanted to share. damn, sticker paper is fun. Swift was sketched in black ballpoint pen, colours were added with Prisma markers, Tria markers and Sharpies.

Thanks, you! I'm sorry I haven't been commenting on your awesome arts lately, I've definitely been noticing your uploads. I need to go through your gallery at some point and find some things I might have missed!

No worries! Seriously don't worry
I've been so bad lately, I just forced myself to spend the day and comment to catch up - I'm already letting them build up again >.<
Ignore all the wolf photos - I've been a bit of a deviant whore lately

Uwa, that's so awesome! I'd love to customize my Wii, too... Wouldn't know what to put on it, though. Great job!

xD You could put characters from your favourite video game, or your own characters, or just about anything! If you do do this I want to see.
Thanks Miyus. I missed you and I hope life is good. :3

Ah, indeed! Heheh, if I do, I'll certainly upload a photo to show off.

Aww, I missed you too! Life is going great (except for my laptop, of course - the power cord is broken and I'm still waiting for a new one).

Um, um - what Wii games do you have? M-maybe, sometime, you know... You and I... We could play together...?

It does keep things in perspective. And, and, hubby and I decided, when we can afford a dog - we'll adopt a racing greyhound!

Totally! Miyu loves Brawl!!

Haha, that's awesome. And tempting. Think I might give that a go myself. Anyhow, I really like the shading, and how slender you made the legs. Nicely done.

swift-whippet In reply to CrossCanvas [2009-01-18 23:58:14 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! If the legs weren't slender, she wouldn't be a whippet. ;> And yes do try it, it's a lot of fun! Sticker paper should be available at any large office supplies store and you can print on it or draw on it. I'd love to see what you do with this, if you do in fact give it a shot.

Oh wow, I totally have to go out and get some sticker paper now. I've been wanting to personalize my tablet. But I don't want to draw right on it. This is perfect! ^_^
It's a wonderful idea. And you did a great job on it.

Oooo~ That's cool. Where do you find sticker paper? (and for that matter, how expensive is it?) I wanna do that too.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

swift-whippet In reply to FeatherFairy [2009-01-18 18:45:58 +0000 UTC]

I got mine from Staples, but it should be available at any large office store. I can't remember how much it cost me since I bought it a while ago, but I remember that this lot wasn't too expensive. It's 30 sheets of what is basically ordinary printer paper with sticker backing, and you can draw on it or print on it. They also sell transparent sticker paper but that's a bit more expensive. Go see if you can find some and check out the prices! Thanks for commenting and if you do do something like this I would love to see!

FeatherFairy In reply to swift-whippet [2009-01-19 00:34:33 +0000 UTC]

Thank you for the information!! I will definitely try to do something like this when I get the time to. Knowing me, I'll end up making my wii covered in Soul Eater characters and my Puppies. X3 Thanks again.

If you do pimp out your Wii, Ammz, I want to see it! You could do a bunch of Nintendo characters or something, that could be fun! You can get sticker paper from any office store, I think, I got mine from Staples. It's awesome.

Tempestspirit [2009-01-18 02:40:50 +0000 UTC]

I want sticker paper. XD It looks awesome. Next time I go shopping for art supplies (Probably next week, our CNY hols happened to fall so we get what's effectively 6 days off school- best O-level results in five years, so the principal took another day off...
as usual. She did that for the past two years too XD Remember, I joined SC when the new principal came in.) I'll make a note to buy some.
I love the Wii. It's amazingly small when you see it IRL... o_O
As for the drawing itself, that looks awesome. Swift looks really cute; and I love the shading on her. I love your style; the way your animals have a cartoony touch yet are rather realistic at the same time. That's the kind of style I'm trying to adapt. XD
Anyways~ I finally got a Wii for christmas, yey, but I have to share it with my brother. DX I don't mind; I'm the one using it all the time anyways.
I got Brawl; at long last. 8D Do you have it? If so I demand your friend code XD;
Long and irrelevant comment is long, and well... irreleveant. XD;

omg yay for long CNY holidays!! I would love to see what you did with sticker paper (and if you do find somewhere that sells it back home, do tell me where! I got mine over in the States at a big office supply store, maybe Kino has?).
Yeah I know, but it's so cute! My Wii wasn't getting played at home (my bro prefers the Box), so I took it back to college with me and it's seeing a lot more action. xD
Aw, thank you! I think you're getting there, I know I have been lax commenting but I've been looking at your uploads - bad me, I know. x_x I can tell that you've been looking at real animals, though. The way that worked for me was to really study from photos and understand the proportions and anatomy realistically first, and then playing around with proportions and more 'loose' ways of drawing. They'll likely get more and more cartoony with time, since I think that's the direction I'm evolving.

OMG YOU HAVE BRAWL. I need to figure out this whole fighting online deal, since we only have wireless hotspots at certain places in the dorm because my school fails at letting people enjoy themselves. But once I do, let's play.

Long and irrelevant makes for fun chatting. *nod*

Ah, no problem. Real animals are good to look at.
YES YES YES. I'll post up a journal with my friend code... soon. XD
Chatting is good yesyes. <3

That's awesome! I love the sticker, so cute <3 I used to wanna make stickers in kindergarten, but I just drew crap and then put glue on the back. Epic mess. Anyway neat way to personalize the Wii! All I have is WiiFit right now, I want MarioKart! Do you have any game recommendations btw?

um BRAWL BRAWL BRAWL BRAWL BRAWL BRAWL BRAWL BRAWL BRAWL BRAWL *shot* xD I'm, er, kind of obsessed at this moment in time. Depends on what sort of thing you're into, though. The Wii is fantastic for silly party games and such, which is why I love it so much. WarioWare is ridiculous for that, and so is Raving Rabbids TV Party. My roommate's boyfriend just gave us a copy of Okami for the Wii, though, and I'm really excited since I've heard so much about that game but never played it myself. My roommate showed me a bit of it and it's gorgeous! What sort of games do you enjoy? I'm just getting into the whole deal.

RoseHeart In reply to swift-whippet [2009-01-20 21:03:10 +0000 UTC]

Those all sound awesome, I should send my brothers on a GameStop spree now! Thanks for the suggests~ And Okami is great, I have it for PS2. It seems it would be awkward for the Wii to me though, but meh, anything is awkward to me videogame wise since I'm so new to it lol.
RPG games I guess are my faves, or racing.
