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.

Sure! I don't have any sticker paper that I know of right now, though.

It should be available at any office store. I got mine from Staples and there's about thirty sheets. You can print on it or draw on it, it's just like regular printer paper with a sticker backing - pretty sweet deal.

Yessss sticker paper is fun!! I got a nice pack from Staples and it's a lot of fun to play with since it's just like ordinary printer paper with a sticky backing. They have transparent stuff too, but that belongs to my roommate and was more expensive, so I felt better about using my own.

If you do this, I'd love to see! Thank you Moonie. <3

You could ask them if it would be okay to decorate it!

this is pretty darn cool! I have been thinking of picking up some sticker paper for a while to do this to either my laptop or PS2... I'm so out of date with things gaming-wise [though I do have a DS].

I like the high-contrast shading there on Swifty! It's awesome to see you working with traditional media too

omg you should!! and then show us! also, check out my roommate's awesome pimped-out XBox design: [link]

Thank you m'love. I really need to do traditional more. I have a bunch of markers and paper and coloured pencils that I bought on a creative shopping spree, and that I've been itching to do something with!

hehe I'll see what I can do I have to go out to the office store shortly after I get back to school too since I'm all out of printer ink... might be able to do that tomorrow while my car's in the shop [again z3].

it would be great to see some more traditional work. I find working with, and collecting, markers to be rather addictive...it's driving me nuts that I haven't been able to get any drawings done so that I can colour them recently :< I want to colour stuff so bad, just don't have the inspiration to draw!

Yeah, and my nunchuck wire has a black blotch on it, that was how I told before. But when you can tell at a glance because your name is right there on it, it's so much better.

Make your own stickers! Sticker paper should be available at any big office store - I got mine from Staples. It's just like normal printer paper except with sticker backing, and markers and colour pencils look pretty great on it. You can even get stuff that's transparent, I just didn't use that here.
