HIDDEN CREATIVE BONUS 128

So this is my Mass Effect controller box. The first pic I’ve apparently made on the 24th of march 2019 and I’ve finished it on the 18th of august 2019. I didn’t paint it every weekend, bc there have been orders, holidays, lack of motivation and a bit of work I was able to do in the shop. But yeah. This is the longest project so far, the most detailed. And I will never ever do something like it for somebody else then me – unless ppl payed like a lot for it. So, nope, not gonna happen :D
But MAN! I’m so proud of the whole thing! I love it! It turned out brilliantly!

All I can say : WOW.

ninglor03

That’s a nice enough statement to me! <3

JaffaCaffa

Woah very cool!! Did such a nice job on it, enjoy the final product now! One could say it’s outta this world. :)

ninglor03

Thank you! <3

86maylin

This is so cool! :o What are those black things that you put inside the box?

ninglor03

Thanks a bunch :)
Liquorice. More precisely:

86maylin

Those are some cute liquorice. :3

ninglor03

They even have cute little paws, but as far as I remember they are pretty sweet and these days I don’t like too sweet liquorice anymore. It doesn’t have to be like super duper salty, but a bit salty :)

Amitte

Dang, the first time I saw your post, I thought it was an actual controller. Thank god you didn’t do that to a controller xD It looks awesome as its own thing! :D

ninglor03

Honestly? I’m still thinking about painting my controller. But I didn’t do it yet, because a) I’m lazy I guess and b) I worry the colour might rub off and then I always have colourful hands after playing o.o xD

Amitte

Yeah, that’s what I’d be afraid of too! Also, the paint scraping off. Like, even coating something with enough colorful nail polish looks cool enough until it begins to come off…

ninglor03
Yeah. True. Sadly. I do have these very cool pens which should do the trick rly, but… yeah. I don’t think I will any time soon :
Amitte

Honestly, I like some pre-made controller skins, even if they’re not exactly game-related, so I suppose you could get that… but then again, I don’t know how much they cost.

ninglor03

Meh. No. That’s like “Oh I’ll buy that knitted thing, bc it’s pretty although I could totally knit it myself”. Yeah, not happening :D

Amitte

Oh my gosh… that just totally reminds me of this.

ninglor03

Ahahahaha, yep, totally :D
Accomplishment is a good enough reason I reckon :]

Amitte

Yeah! You keep doing you and knitting all your sweaters, I’ll just continue being the “But why?” guy :D

ninglor03

But self knit socks are super cool - just saying :]

Amitte

I think I can imagine! I’d have to learn how to knit first, though :D

ninglor03

Yeah, that might actually be helpful if you want to knit socks yourself nod nod :)

Kyrrelin

Looks amazing! Good work. ;)
But…
Hmm, where are the boys? Where is Garrus?!? O.O

ninglor03

Thank you!

Yep, where are the boys. Good question indeed!
Actually this was supposed to be totally dedicated to Liara. I wanted to paint her naked lazing on the top, buuuuut my anatomy drawing skill is not that good so that would probably have turned into a disaster, sooo instead I ended up painting the heads. Totally fem dedicated. I guess I have to make something with boys only. But I have no idea what that could be. Yet! I will come up with stuff. Maybe a vase. Which would be funny gender ignoring. Like the girls gt the controller and the boys the flowers. I actually like that idea :D

Kyrrelin

Haha, I see. I think you did it very well! ;)

Out of curiosity and if you don’t mind me asking… hom much would that cost? o.o Coz you know, me and my soulmate really love it! ;)

ninglor03

I rethought - can one do that? - aaaaand decided I might make a chips bowl with the guys :]

OMG! I have NO idea honestly! Bc to me it’s absolutely priceless, but if you’d think about the hours… honestly, I can’t say. I don’t know. I… aaaaaaaaaaaah! Chat me up on steam maybe?

Kyrrelin

Of course! That’s called brainstorming. ;D

Okay! Will add you on Steam and catch up with you once I am home alone, safe from any spying eyes. Probably tomorrow. ;)

ninglor03

Uuuuuh, right. That’s a thing :D

Sounds good to me :)

Trent

That thing looks positively edible! :)

ninglor03

The liquorice, right? Bc… pls don’t try eating the controller. It is after all ceramic, could like… hurt a lot and be bad for your digestion :] xD

86maylin

The controller do look tasty tho. x3 Reminds me of those special shaped cakes that people make.

ninglor03

Sadly that is a thing I don’t do. Don’t know why, bc I love how fancy they look, but nope.

LastM

I never thought about it before, but a controller case is actually a great idea. My controllers always get dusty, especially when I stop using them for a long time. There’s a market there you could explore :P

ninglor03

Uh! I like THAT idea! <3
Including the cables in it. Yep, this would be very nice. Oh god, now I want a controller case ;(

adil

Wow, you really went all out! The details are really great! But I am wondering, why does Ashley (I believe?) have a red aura? And EDI and Tali an orange sun type aura. While the others get blue aura? Does it have any signification, yep I’m curious haha, or was it just random artsy stuff?

ninglor03

Although it is artsy, it has nothing to do with that rly. You see, Ash is the soldier, so she got the explosive red aura, EDI and Tali are tech so they got the orange one to resemble the omnitool a bit, and the rest? Biotics! Although I confess I was a bit surprised once I realized how unbalanced it is with the girls. Guess the boys will be the same, only… the other way around :D
And thanks a bunch <3

adil

Oh yeah that’s a nice touch! And this just confirms the amount of thoughts and details you put into it, you totally went all out, above and beyond!

ninglor03

Thank you! blush <3
I’m really happy with it. And I might smile everytime I look at it. It’s just so nice and I feel like I accomplished something pretty good with it and that makes me happy :]
