Digimon 3DS XL Cover Plates

Posted on October 28, 2015 Leave a Comment

I completed this cover plate commission about a month ago. It’s a hand-painted shell cover for the new 3DS XL. The shell is primed with a gesso that allows me to paint it with watercolour paints, and the completed design is sealed with a spray varnish.

Email me at ale@chenonetta.com if you’re interested in getting your own cover plate commission. Commissions take a month or two to complete (depending on whether I have appropriate cover plates on hand). Prices start from ~$80 AUD if you can supply your own cover plates.

Digimon 3DS Cover Plates

You may remember the watercolour 3DS cover plates that I posted a while ago. While at AVCon I had them displayed at my art table. Lots of people were interested in having their own custom plates created, but they didn’t own the new 3DS.

So I had a look around and found some cover shells that I could prime and paint. Here’s one of my commissions in progress, custom cover shells for the new 3DS XL. The client asked for a design featuring Agumon, Gabumon and their warp evolutions. I initially had the rookie classes appearing on the top plate, then I realised it would make more sense to put their Mega forms in the background. It meant I could fit the crests in there too.

Next step is to get the paint on these! A little nerve-wracking, to be honest, but the primed watercolour-ground surface tends to be quite forgiving.

My commission queue is currently full, but if you would like your own customised 3DS cover plate you can email me at ale@chenonetta.com for more details!
