Well, here's number three, my most extensive project to date. I did this DS for a friend of mine, and I have to say that I'm quite pleased with it. She requested a Rune Factory theme, and more specifically the radish in the upper right corner. Her stylus wasn't the one that came with the DS, and it was way too small. So I crafted a new one out of wood, which was no easy task. The final touch was to make the wooden box. I cut all the wood, fit it together, and did the engraving on the top. Then I used some incredibly soft fabric to line the inside. The DS itself is done in Sharpie oil-based paint pens and Micron pens for the outlining. All of the DS is coated in Krylon high gloss acrylic. There are a few small details that are hard to see in the photos, such as the gold on the outers of the d-pad, and the gold inside the A, B, X, and Y buttons. My best work so far. Only time will tell if my still-in-progress Zelda DS will top it. Till next time!
