Been depressed lately. Decided to cheer myself up by building a dual-modded stick out of spare parts, getting the creator of Skullgirls to design the artwork for it, and giving it up as a donation incentive for the Breast Cancer Research Fund (and to help Skullgirls get into EVO).
Worked like a charm. Feeling like a million bucks right now.
Here’s a shitty webcam pic of the stick (still a work in progress):

Her face is kind of fucked up though, that is not how that bitches nose should look. Also if she is rolling her eyes her eye ball should have a more circular arc. YOU FUCKED UP THE PICTURE VS.
PS - If you know the art is going to be used for sticks and I KNOW ducky has mad templates, at least get creative and incorporate the buttons in some way.
Note the part above where I mentioned I built this from spare parts. I couldn’t afford to donate anything beyond $5, so I worked with what I already had on hand and created something that is worth much more than that. Drawing from the buzz it’s gotten, it could probably help raise a few thousand.
Even better is the fact that aside from the money I spent on the stick and the parts months ago, this was of no cost to me. I wouldn’t have been able to donate this had it cost me anything. Alex even did the artwork for free. Hell, even printing the art was free. The lady at FedEx Office was so thrilled that this was for Breast Cancer Research that she said it was on the house when I came up short on change. If I had more money, I’d have bought better-looking buttons (probably pink to go with the Breast Cancer theme) but I didn’t. This is for charity anyway, so frankly nitpicking this is kinda a shitty thing to do.
whats worse, is that I am pretty sure if you get banned from EA’s forums, you get banned from their online servers and thus he can never play Sim City ever
