#pc case

🖱Today's Miku "figure" is:🖱

I'm excited to announce my collab with V1TECH for tech and LED art prints! It was a lot of work but they turned out great! Designing the PC cases was a fun nostalgia trip since it was the closest I've come to doing 3D art since I moved away from Game Development. There are more designs to come in the future and a LOT more on their site.

I know it's not the right time of day to post this but hey. PC case commission, side and front, done! I'll post a mock-up of the whole thing once the top panel is also complete. The light blue area is actually meant to be a transparent part of the PC case.

Lagiacrus is a gorgeous monster. I'm a sucker for deep sea themed or Abyssal anything, though.

Going to make a desk mat out of this as well :D

When my boyfried decided to build a PC for himself we both quickly agreed that I am going to paint the case. And oh boy... was it an experience. I honestly procrastinated it a lot because at the time I was in the middle of another project, also for him, that I'm gonna post later, I was full of schoolwork because of the exam season and also working full time. A lot of trouble.

Anyway, I started off by making these sketches with all the things he likes.

The eye of cthulhu from Terraria, a Minecraft Enderman, the grimmchild from hollow knight, a tank, a mimic, and obviously a porche 911. The rest of the details where mainly references to some inside jokes that we have, like the dinosaur, or to the place we first meet. I never painted on metal before, nor did i draw a dinosaur, or a model accurate car, or a tank... They were all very challenging even in the sketch phase. But it was a project started out of love, and I was not gonna give up on it any time soon.

I put my guidelines on the case, thinking that I'm going to draw the sketch on and then paint it piece by piece. I realized that it couldn't possibly work, because even if I sketched, the lines where barely visible. So I started adding a white base... It took like 3 coats to cover up properly and it was at this time that I realized it was gonna be a messy and challenging project.

And yes, my desk was a full out mess. We are not gonna talk about it. And I didn't realize it at the time, but i was holding a pencil right in front of the camera (the yellow thing that's cutting the frame).

I'm gonna continue posting the process of painting the case. It took me many hours to finish, as I'm nowhere near even experienced in painting in general. But it was fun.
