I painted this controller to resemble a sunset over an ocean, mainly shades of pink with green grass in the foreground. I gave the cable end a gradient resembling that of the main body of the controller.<\/p>\n
I was sent an image resembling the intro from Pokemon Emerald (GBA) that the client had altered so the hue was warmer. I tried to get it as close to the design as I could. Ultimately some colours came out different but I think it really works and so does the client. You can see the image I was send at the end of the gallery.<\/p>\n
I started by painting the pinky background colour and then added a gradient effect with the grey. I hand painted the clouds, grass and the water to get some more texture and more control over the detail. I used Rotring pens filled with diluted airbrush inks for the fine lines surrounding the blades of grass. For the horizon lines and white lines around the clouds I used paint markers.<\/p>\n
I used pink Sugru to create thumbstick caps and painted the C-stick and analogue sticks light blue. The caps feel great and the pink matches the colour of the water quite nicely.<\/p>\n
The controller is protected by many layers of matte lacquer which protect the design and make it feel really soft and smooth.<\/p>\n
(This controller was painted for Polylink a smasher from Brighton but was never bought. I still have this controller and it’s one of my favourites both to play with and look at.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
