This controller is another collaboration with Shinewave who did the LED lighting in Wobbles’s controller

This controller is based on Absa, a character from Rivals of Aether, a smash style platform fighter.

I used some of the assets from her lightning attack animations to create stencils which I used to protect the clear controller from the paint grey and purple gradients that cover the majority of the controller.

I made sure that the paint I used was slightly translucent, thinned using airbrush reducer and applied in very light layer making sure I had control over how thick the paint would be so that when the LED lights were put in I they could be seen through the paint as well as where the stencils had prevented the paint from adhering.

On the front in the centre of the controller is the Shinewave logo also done using stencil paper so that the logo is transparent.

The C-stick is painted to compliment the cloud colours of the controller and the top of it has been re-cast using Sugru a wonderful, moldable putty rubber that I’ve been having a lot of fun experimenting with.

The entire controller is covered by Mipa Winner matte lacquer which will protect the paintwork from the rigours of playing.
