I'm thinking of getting crafty...

Post by Alessar »

I recently got a Galaxy S4 and I haven't found a case I like yet, so I ordered a plain black one from monoprice. (It was $3.) So then I got thinking, maybe I could mod it somehow? Paint and sealer, or applique and modgepodge. But what? What would look good on a plain black case?

Well, how about the Garo logo in gold leaf? So now, I'm thinking of trying to put that calligraphy sketch of a makai knight that used to be shown during the opening of the show when the narrator says "where there is light, shadows lurk and fear reigns..." though getting the right image may take some doing.

What do you guys think? Suggestions?

Oh oh, anyone have merch with this image on it? This is about what I was thinking of though it's a little busier than I remembered: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=BCBS-3947 Google image search is not being my friend right now.

I have a cunning plan?!

Not exactly what you asked for, but here's the makai Senki version:

AHA! I just realized something. Makai Senki has a very slightly different animation in the opening animation than season 1. That's why I was remembering an image I couldn't find. If you play episode 1 of Makai Senki and hit pause at 10-12 seconds in ("Yet by the blade of knights, Mankind was given hope"), that is the image I really want to get. Is there any way you could screengrab that off the raw for me?

Can't you screengrab it yourself? Just open up the file in your media player and hit the printscreen button

The problem is the subtitles all over the bottom of the image.

Coolness, I can definitely work with that. Now it's on to testing the actual art materials...

I was actually looking for GARO phone cases yesterday. Unfortunately they don't seem to exist, although there are different Power Rangers, Super Sentai and Kamen Rider ones. If you actually succeed in making a GARO case, I'd probably buy one from you, lol.

Pffffffffft. Expensive. That's like US$40...

Alessar: maybe you might want this?

Yo, damn! No wonder why I wasn't able to find 'em, lol. These are sick! I just wished there were more options other than a Zaruba and a bunch of different GARO ones. This one is by far the coolest in my opinion only 'cause it's the only one that includes other Makai Knights. Plus it's only around $25 where the others are usually $40.

Too bad I have an iPhone 4 (just got it this week) and not 5.

Ah, so it turned out the generic black case I was going to use was a total POS. Just having it in my pocket for a week, it got scratched up severely - my unprotected phone had been in my pocket for a couple months without a nick on it. Kind of a shame, I had gotten some nice metallic paint markers that worked really well on it. Even heavily sealed I don't think it would have held up to normal wear.

Very cool cases though Lunagel!
