To celebrate the new purchase of the hot pink DSi, I decided to make a cozy for it.
I wish Joann's had a wider variety of fabrics. I really wanted cuter pieces. I really need to find a local store that sells Japanese imported fabrics along with really cute patterns. Most stuff is available online, however I didn't feel like waiting.
Ro, where did you get the Super Paper Mario fabric?
It's not fabric, it's a small handbag I got from Kinokuniya. If it was fabric, I would have made the cozy out of that. However, Jeremy and I do have matching Mario/mushroom flannel pajama pants. They are awesome and comfy.

Damn, I kind of wanted to make some pajamas out of that theoretical fabric. Oh well.
Yeah. I was thinking of adding a felt cut out of a panda or something cute to it, but laziness took over. I know it's a plain design, but there really weren't a lot of cute fabrics to choose from.
Perhaps I'll buy some cute fabrics to make a new one to look similar to what this person made.
Where is your Etsy page, girl? I would love a cozy for my big ass PSP. Very cute work.
So, do any of you partake in contests? It's difficult to win but I've been trying Patchedtogether (toy contest) and Designed by Humans (t-shirt). I submitted a Halloween shirt last night. Here it is.

Thanks. I've actually thought about making an Etsy page, I just need to make product I want to sell and not give out to people I know to put on there. ^^;;
As for your design, that's pretty damn awesome. I'd vote for you. Any specific title to the piece? Just saw on the website it's called "Will not be forgotten". I will happily vote for it. ^_^
Link I named it "Will not be forgotten" last night when I was really sleepy. "Forget me not" would have been much better! Oh well. My skill at naming things is pretty low.
Yea it's not for everyone to want to wear. Neither are a lot of the Halloween entries. It's funny because when I decided I was going to make a submission, I wanted it to be of a cute bear. When I saw that there was a Halloween contest, I shifted gears into something gory! Cute bear inside of a pear to intestines and tentacles. It perplexes even me.
Mr.Roboto: That's pretty cool. Funfetus: Finally someone said it! My best friend who is good friends with becky didn't even say it. Then again he's getting sucked into Aion right now and I think he's judgment impaired at the moment. Of coarse the resemblance wasn't intentional. I like tentacles, I like to draw girls, Halloween is macabre and I picked limited colors since it's meant to be printed. Not really sure if I should have tried to differentiate myself more or something? I wasn't really concentrating on that aspect of things.
Eeeee. Spooooooky. And guts. I don't know if I would wear a shirt with guts on it, but it's a pretty nifty picture.
Eh, you're a girl. I wouldn't expect you to wear a shirt with a girl on it whose cleavage goes all the way to her heart. Awesome picture Mankoon, it's unsettling.

I definitely don't think it's a negative thing -- of course, I'm a big fan of Ms. Cloonan's work. I don't feel like it's derivative -- it looks to me like the sort of thing where different people arrive at a similar place independently.
Also, I've kinda been experimenting with a similar coloring style lately. Like, basically cell-shaded, but with a little bit of hatching with the colors. Yours actually reminds me of a lot of Philippe Buchet's work on Sillage. It's a good look -- a lot of coloring these days is far too flashy.

I'm spray stenciling both sides of the tape. There's quite a bit of overspray, but I still think they look cool.
Here's the album cover that he designed:
And each tape comes with a little plastic animal:
