Custom Faceplate ideas?

**Rlvers** · 07-07-2010

Alright, my sister and I are both sort of artists, and i decided that we should paint some blank faceplates. The only thing is we have no good ideas. Can anybody suggest any ideas? We would also be willing to sell aswell, if interested. But we need some good Faceplate or controller shell ideas.

Some cool Fallout New Vegas art would be challenging and fun to see

I've never heard of an artist not having ideas for art. Usually, they have so many they don't want to do mine.

Well there is not much good game ideas, its not that we we have no ideas, just not good ones fit for a faceplate, cause i dont want it to be to challenging either.

I gotta admit, I had plenty of ideas that were too ambitious, but when I started making easy plates just to make plates it quit being fun.

^ I know what you mean. It seemed the more work I put into the faceplate, the less the would sell for.

I have yet to see any Red Dead Redemption plates, cases, or controllers. Ever think of doing something with that?

for RDR. I want to do a controller myself but all of mine are currently painted. Until I get them sold I will have to just dream. I have (well what I think) is a great idea from a design too. lol

I'd like to see some of the stuff you've done. Anything that is visually modded is okay, but just in case, please don't discuss controller modding like rapid fire, or console modding with chips and stuff. Just covering butts, not saying you would. Make a separate thread. If it won't let you show pics because you dont' have enough posts, I'll quote it so they show up.

I've done four RDR faceplates. Haven't really done controllers because I don't have the tools to really do them right, ie airbrushes and four layers of clear coat, etc.

if you go to fa.subcostume.com that's our site for custom printing faceplates (and other stuff). You can upload your own stuff and play around with it without actually placing an order. It's great for getting a feel for what a plate would look like. No controller fronts, though, unfortunately.

Thanks for the ideas about the faceplates Spaceghost. I dont have enough post to upload pics I guess yet but I would love to post some of my work to see what everyone thinks. Maybe I can post 1 pic per reply of a new post I will do make.

Just added a new thread that has all my current work on it. Hope you like it.
