My cousin has a pride for decorating with sharpies, and I have a pride for playing Guitar Hero! What a better way to combine both of our passions into one by having him decorate my faceplate!

You can see full resolution pictures on his blog!

If you have any questions, please just ask away here, and I'll have him read these threads himself.

THANKS!

He's done a guitar and a pair of shoes as well!

Just some extra random artwork he added to his Facebook album.

BUMP FOR NEW SHOES

Wow... absolutely stunning. It's amazing what one can do with limited resources such as sharpie makers. Your cousin is very creative, both in design and execution, and I have to give him credit for that. This is just fantastic!

Whoa! That's amazing! I'm especially digging the real guitar at the bottom there! It'd love to have a pick guard with that design on it!

You'd be surprised! This thing doesn't wear down at all! I expected it to around where I strum, ("DDR" in "DDRSENSATION"), but the laquer he covered the faceplate in prevents that from happening. I love my cousin.

i was just about to say you should spray it with something to make sure it doesn't rub off. then i read your last post.
that's really awesome though. Jealous.

Looks awesome! There's some incredible detail and crazy colors goin on there. Did he give you any idea what it was going to look like before he got started or did you just trust him to go wild and make it look cool.

WOW That last picture just made my jaw drop!

Can I just ask, how long does he usually take, when drawing these thing?

That's awesome! Does he just use a normal white wii face plait and draw over it? If he does I think I'll put a few skulls on a new one for me later:) Tell me what he uses other than sharpies

He just uses sharpies and laquer to protect it. He has a cup full of sharpies, (very limited in colors, and a bunch of black ones, being a main color and all), and the faceplate I used was the default Wii White one, but the GHWT one I spraypainted white for him.

I appreciate the feedback!

BUMP for new pictures of shoes.

GHWT faceplate has had a large delay. Sorry.
