The wait list for 2024 is open!

DM me if you’re interested! Rbs are appreciated!

More info under the cut, I'll try to be brief, please read ↓

〃く⁠コ⁠:⁠彡 ₊ ˚ ⊹ 𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝

Process and general info

DM or email me ([email protected])* your inquiry so we can discuss the quotes and book you a slot if none are available at the moment. *I might take I little longer to reply emails.

Payments are made via PayPal invoices, so I'll need your PayPal email.

All prices are USD.

My wait list is just a rough estimation. The time I take on each work varies and sometimes there are cancellations, as well as other external factors, so even though I'm mostly on time, the possibility I will be a bit late or a bit earlier than expected exists.

IMPORTANT: If you change your url after getting a spot on my wait list please remember to give me a heads up so that later I can still find you!!

It's alright if you need to reschedule your comm for another time, or even just cancel it, just let me know. No cancellations once I have started working though, and no refunds.

I start working after receiving half the payment upfront.

References are appreciated but not required, and well detailed descriptions work just fine, but please try to have all information necessary for the commission ready. (References and/or descriptions for the characters appearances, facial expressions, clothes, poses; background, if any; lighting/type of coloring.)

I won't charge for tattoos of which you provide transparent pngs.

I reserve the right to refuse a commission.

I reserve the right to post my artwork and use it on my portfolio, but I'll keep a commission private if so requested.

The commissions are for personal use only.

Will Do

OCs, fanart, ship art;

Suggestive themes, NSFW, and even fetish art (with only a few exceptions I highly doubt I will encounter here, but who knows);

Gore and body horror;

Animals, humanoids and furries.

In doubt just ask, I'll give almost anything a confident try.

Won't Do

Mecha;

Hateful imagery;

IRL shipping (doesn't apply to actors interpreting characters);

Create new designs (characters, clothes, etc.);

And I will no longer be accepting irl face claims/painting real people on painting style commissions (this doesn't apply to realistic looking video-game characters).

The styles:

Sketch- just the early stage of the drawing, rough forms and somewhat messy lines. May include 1 rough color for emphasis;

Lineart- clean lineart with the brush of your choice (I have 3);

Flat colors- includes lineart and simple coloring, no shadows/source of light;

Shaded- includes lineart, more detailed coloring compared to flat colors, simple lighting/one source of light;

Painting- either pieces with no lineart (regardless of type of lighting), or those which have lineart + complex lighting/two or more sources of light.

You can see more of my art on my blog tagged as #myart. If you find a style you like but is not sure of which category it fits in, just ask me!

〃く⁠コ⁠:⁠彡 ₊ ˚ ⊹ 𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝

And finally, seen below are my other contact info. Most of these accounts are still empty and I honestly don't plan on leaving tumblr, after all the real "tumblr is shutting down" is the friends we made along the way yadda yadda, but seriously my heart can't take it anymore. I'll rather be safe than sorry.

People think that because SM exists and the teams have social media accounts they are entitled to know everything that’s going on. I don’t ever see Walmart telling us the corporate business despite also having SM accounts, nor any other company. The whole CH thing isn’t a social media beef it’s actually only red bulls as they are the company. People think CH is going to post an apology video on YouTube like it’s some tiktok controversy. No guys, it’s real life hope that helps 😊🤞

Obviously F1 engages a lot with the fans online and a lot of general information is shared but the entire CH thing should’ve never been posted online. People complain about transparency as if they’re entitled to it?!? You knowing about the CH thing is literally transparent when it never should’ve been. Why do people want to know more details and stuff ? What’s it to you ? What are you going to do with the information ? Are you going to make a tweet about wanting to boycott red bull now as if that’s going to change the overall situation within the company 🤡 people need to learn that social media is social media, not everything needs to be shared online and just because you see funny interesting content made by the teams you’re not entitled to be sitting in a company meeting.

All this.

People are moronic. The democratisation of information has been the worst thing for society. We’re not meant to know everything, we don’t have a right to know everything. And given people’s lack of critical thinking and capacity to understand nuance there is a strong case that most people cannot handle knowing everything. People are increasingly dogmatic and there’s a reason that groups based on dogma let the plebs know next to nothing.

But anyway, RB is not a government they don’t and shouldn’t be giving out information to the general public. User4948284 on Twitter who thinks because they got 14 likes on their CH meme that they are entitled to know if “he’s a predator” or whatever can stfu

https://x.com/quickstopf1/status/1728009595908460780 Him tryna shade Lewis with the “he hasn’t won a race in almost two years” and SkySports putting Lewis’ incredible stats on the screen 5 seconds later is so 😭 He might’ve not won a race in two years but he still has 104 wins 😋

And I doubt he’s as friendly with Anthony as he’s making it seem like but if it’s true Anthony needs to stop chatting with his drama starting ass cause now everyone’s coming at Lewis for “not being loyal” “lying” and “not being able to handle not having the fastest car” when in reality Anthony hasn’t been a part of Lewis’ management ever since he wanted to stop Lewis from going from Mclaren to Merc so if Lewis really was considering RB I’m sure he would’ve sent his actual representative to do the talks

Last thing (sorry for the long ask) I find it strange that in this video Horner is basically just saying Anthony was asking about how it’s going with Checo even tho before that he was acting like someone particularly told him Lewis wants to come to Redbull.. To me it seems like he did have a conversation with Anthony but hugely exaggerated it and is now trying to backtrack by making it seem like it wasn’t that big of a deal even though he’s the one that made it seem like a big deal in the first place. God these team principals never shut their mouths do they

I LITERALLY WANTED TO SAY THAT TOO 'he hasn't won in two years' (graphic: lewis hamilton 7x world champion, 104 poles, 103 wins, 197 podiums)

transcript below the cut / link to the video (tweet) here

he's making it seem like him and anthony go out for high teas together. but yeah lewis and anthony haven't had the best relationship in the past few years so it'd be better if anthony steered clear from discourse like this lmao.

can people stop coming to lewis' arse for this. mans been nothing but transparent about what happened and he's really a victim to christian's bullshit chatting lmao.

no worries about the long ask! and yeah i've said before, christian's story has changed so so much and it's so impossible to follow lmao. i wouldn't take anything he says about this as truth.

(can't hear the first thing)

christian horner: it's amazing, the fuss that's come out of this. erm, so, look, it's not unusual for there to be an exchange erm, y'know i've known anthony hamilton for, for 15, 16 years, so. y'know, inevitably, there's, there's often an exchange, y'know during the course of a season. so, erm. but there's quite a lot that seems to be read into this.

interviewer (who's this actually? i don't think i've seen him before): so it was anthony? that texted you? cause doctor [helmut] marko just got onto sky germany and said that it was someone from, from lewis' camp that, that made the approach. was it--

christian: no no, look, i had an exchange -- well, anthony is a nice guy. he reached out, i think, erm, i can't remember, it was around - regarding around sergio - he just asked, i think, inquiring, a suggestive question. now i don't know what brought- what role anthony plays in lewis' set up, but - or, management, but he's got some form of relationship. i don't think he was inquiring about his, himself to come and drive.

naomi schiff: i made the analogy earlier that no matter how much you flatten the pancake, there will always be two sides. and it kind of got david a bit distracted, he might be off somewhere having pancakes now. but, ehm, honestly, is that an- is that an option? for your team to have a driver like lewis hamilton come in? i mean, if you seem happy with the balance, with an other driver in your team--

christian: we're very happy with the drivers that we've got, but of course, you can - you can understand, i mean, lewis hasn't won a race for almost two years. ehm, you can understand questions being asked. it's highly logical and normal, ehhm, for those type of things to, to happen. and as i say, ehm, you know i've always had a great relationship with anthony, he's a very nice guy and --

naomi: but if a seat freed up, (unintelligable)

christian: there is no seat available, so there's not -- it's really a non-story, i mean, i know we're at the end of the year and we're tryna drum(?) things up here, but this is, sorta (scraping the barrel?) a bit.

martin brundle: so who else? texted you? fernando?

christian: i've had lots of texts, martin. even from yourself. but do you wanna drive next year?

(i can't hear the end)

186 (total) 100x100 Lilly Satou (Katawa Shoujo) icons, free to use

Name: Lilly Satou

Gender: Female

Source: Lilly Satou

Medium: Video game/official art

Visual Style: 2d

Link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1BUuFuIQhJSsyUNLcwuF2bW0dOIzjidtF?usp=sharing

These icons are all made from the in-game sprites and even features transparent icons as a result, combined with screenshots from her animated cutscene, in-game CG, as well as artwork from the official artbooks.

These have been done differently than my usual icons and has three sets of icons within. One folder consisting entirely of screenshots of the cutscenes and official artbooks (94 total), one folder consisting of icons and screenshots from the bust upwards (91 total), and icons focusing solely on her face in her three hairstyles (ribbon, no ribbon, hair down) (72 total). As the face-only icons are taken from the bust up icons, there is a total of 186 different icons to be used, with 91 transparent icons total. As always, I have included the original full sized icons, and this is significant with this one.

While the 100x100 face-only and cutscene/art-only icons are fine, the sprite icons from the bust upwards may look small or hard to make out on certain icons. I highly recommend either using the full-sized icons for these if you don’t mind using large icons, or perhaps resizing them to 150x150 instead. I do not post icons outside of my usual size, but if you want 150x150 icons (or any other dimension) I am willing to make them for the chest upwards icons. I will not do this for the other icons, however, as I don’t want to have to upload these images multiple times.

I might have missed some CGs (mostly near the end of the game), but I do not intend on remaking these icons: as such, these icons are considered complete. Please like or rb if you use them, or credit elsewhere!

Quick and short post because I'm insanely tired but I want to post an update.

I stumbled upon a video on youtube the other day and it has sparked a lot of motivation in me to draw again, on a physical medium- pencils & paper (as opposed to an art tablet).

She's a really good teacher and her tips are great.

The video:

youtube

I went on a bit of a vid watching spree, absorbing several of her vids afterwards. I have sooooo many of these materials already from past hobbies so that's a plus.

Not just that but RedBubble decided to mail out another e-mail saying they increased the fee cost of their tiers, yet again. So that's been under my skin, nagging away at me a bit.

Today I decided to do something about it after mulling it around in my mind for so long. It's been half a year at least now? And I haven't been able to make up my mind on what to do?

Well I opened an account with Printful and I've been slowly making the conversion over, integrating it with my Etsy shop (yeah I know, Etsy isn't much better but it's the lesser of two evils).

It's tedious and my head hurts. I feel drained. I haven't even touched the edge of the iceberg where my designs are concerned. There's still so many more to go... ☠️

And I haven't even converted or altered any to fit their templates yet. I'm just uploading over my transparent PNGs! This is going to be one heck of a ride. But once it's done... it's done. And I'll be happier for it.

RedBubble, you better hope people are not as determined and angsty as I am cause you're going to lose hella people if they are. You guys screwed up.

Like, I thought you screwed up before, but man you dug yourselves a grave this time. You better go and lie in it.

Just to give perspective, for an Artist in "Redbubble Standard" tier who earned a 25$ paycheck in a month used to get charged an 11$ fee. That's 43%. Couldn't change their tier. It progressively scales worse, and all us RB sellers thought that was bad.

Now with their new system, that they tried to phrase and play off as "We're only increasing it by a dollar" bologna, is significantly worse.

If you make 25$ a month in "Redbubble Standard" tier, you get charged a 17$ fee. That's 67%. And it continues to rise at an insane rate- bordering the 70% range.

They're greedy. They don't care for artists. They deserve to lose all of the artists under their site because they clearly don't listen to feedback from the very people who are the structure and foundation of their website; that being the artists AND the buyers.

The buyers are just as furious with these changes as the artists. They openly voiced it so when these tiers were introduced and most these buyers ARE the artists themselves.

But anyways, I'm going to sleep 😖

I have more things to post tomorrow, for another 12+ hours, most likely 🫠

Sorry for the rant, lol 🙃

(If you're looking for my RB stuff, I took it all down. I have like 10 things posted on my Etsy shop atm and way more things to come- like stickers. Lots and lots of stickers, cause apparently people like stickers, lol.)

do you have any advise on stopping copying? its happened to me too but i dont want to lock my accounts or delete my work

Assuming you mean other people copying your work? Don't delete anything. Leave a distinct timeline of your work around.

If you want to stop material from being immediately accessible, you can make posts private (at least on Tumblr). It's what I do to keep my work around— so I can access it Immediately if plagiarism continues after its been hidden— across the board. That way I can make posts public and reblog for visibility if the need arises; it keeps the original dates there for reference.

This is going to be long so I'll put the rest under the cut.

I have a lot of posts set to private and fics archived to prevent my material from being ripped off that way. However, if you have DMs/conversations with people where you discuss the work that they're copying, make a record of it. Screenshot and do a video screen grab. You might have to do a long scroll if it's on the likes of Tumblr or Discord, but it's better to have a cohesive reel of the conversation for the sake of transparency.

Now, unfortunately people who copy other people's work don't often take kindly to being called out. It depends on the severity. The only reason I haven't named people directly is because I'd rather simply present the compiled Evidence to those who point it out to me.

However, if it continues— or travels further into the audacity zone— I will simply make an accessible list with compiled evidence. I strongly suggest you make 'case files' for yourself in much the same way.

In the era of call out posts being made to wage attacks over arguments, stick to the facts. As much as it is a personal matter, I'd suggest keeping any personal commentary out of it. It's easier to digest as X + Y = Z.

The thing about plagiarism is to remember a lot of people are desperate for internet clout. Like, deranged levels of equating numbers/attention to success. We all want attention for our work— hence we post anywhere at all— but the apparent need to be First and The Person Who Does The Thing is pretty blatant amidst those who would rather rip off others than put in the work.

Being good at anything requires effort— a willingness to put time and energy into learning. People who copy don't do that. They want rewards and validation; they're not doing what they do for creative integrity.

Block evasion is something you will likely be facing, given these sorts don't be like to be told no. Unfortunately there's not much we can do about that— it's not like people who steal directly from others will give a fuck about set boundaries.

So, in short:

Compile evidence: your work vs the copied work. Links, screenshots, video grabs etc. A timeline is your best bet for relaying plagiarism. If you need help compiling easy to understand comparisons, you'll have to DM me off anon. I won't be doing that publicly because it would only be used for avoidance purposes lmao.

Block the offending parties across the board. Including from any sideblogs and the like.

Don't delete your work! You can hide posts/archive most things now. You may need it to reference back to.

Don't stop creating. People will Always do this one way or another; don't drop what you love to do just because there's people who are so entitled as to try and take advantage, yk?

As I've said before, people who plagiarise aren't doing what they do because they want to join in. It's an entitlement issue�� they want what they perceive to be a Reward without bothering to work for it. There's no joy in that.

I truly have no time for people who plagiarise lmao. Just remember that it says a lot about them as people.

@krokaxe self tag for rb purposes

#krok.ask #I'm sorry anon #It's pretty awful really #But lmao like I said #says a lot more about them than it does you

Everytime Sims updates or releases a new pack it’s so…like wow another pack is coming and going and this game still actively excludes physically disabled people -_- but hey #representation ig. “Character customization” with no mobile aides, prosthetics, vitiligo marks, scarring outside of makeup, hearing aides, ect, Hell all the costumes and you don’t even have an eye patch. Literally nothing to signify visibly Disabled people. 4 games have come and gone and you still can’t just give your sim a cane (which you could w elders in sims 3) It’s ableist. All it says is that in your world is physically disabled people don’t exist and we should be okay with it. They’ve made various updates and patches yet still not a real sign of addressing and fixing one of the original sins of the sims franchise in the first place. “We’re thinking about working on it” isn’t enough. Just do it. I’m tired of excuses and I’m tired of able bodied simmers paying for the lamest pack time after time w/o pushing for disabled content. Every other pack was due to fans pushing for them. They screamed till they had their cottagecore pack yet It’s silent whenever disabled simmers ask for some support. Literally it’s so transparent -_-

https://vm.tiktok.com/TTPdSrrQSB/

https://youtu.be/DuzpCoH1Ibs

youtube

Video Id : it’s a link to a video titled “The sims needs disabilities” the cover is a Ginger woman in a white dress along with the sims 4 cover : end id

Image id : a pink banner with The Disabled symbol on it. It says “ok to rb and discuss-no clowning. If you are Able Bodied do not comment-If you are Neurodivergent do not comment without asking first. : end id

"If a person/s makes meaningful queer art, if they make deeply personal films with obvious queer qualities/undertones, if they make statements that imply, in a myriad of ways, that they cohabitate with/sleep beside a specific person, if they enact an unambiguously romantic staging of a pas de deux, if they have never publically rebuked certain speculation about the nature of their relationship(as vmin and tkk have, arguably), then is it possible Jikook are as 'out' and transparent as they can be?"

hello! idk if you remember but I'm the anon that sent a long, long, ask about my experience coming out in a homophobic society. thank you so much for the response btw, it was extremely kind and I'm glad your blog is such a safe space.

the quoted ask really ties in pretty well and sums up my drift regarding appreciation/contribution to queer art a lot more eloquently, I'd say. "everybody consumes queer media" is just not really much of a refutal when a person or persons has shown a repeated inclination towards it consistently.

it's a lot funnier when you think of how the only hetero explanations for gcfT and gcfS involve mocking jungkook's intelligence and questioning his own claims and how for RB it's his character (really?? you'd rather paint jk as an asshole who chose an emotionally charged moment to carry out some fanservice??). not very respectful and rather cynical, no?

it's very common to be cryptic and leave about hints if you're not out out, because you want to be out, dammit! it's impossible to be 100% in hiding all the damn time and there are always cracks (me jokingly saying "I'll just marry a woman, then" when my mom asks me to not bring home a specific stereotype of a man, telling my dad very pointedly that the song playing on the speaker is sung by troye sivan and waiting to gauge his reaction etc.)

personally i believe that if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, generally acts like a duck and makes other ducks look at it and go "that's a duck!", I'd have far more questions if it wasn't a duck.

I love this anon! Sometimes there’s really nothing more you can do than drop hints. People do love to assume Jungkook doesn’t know what he’s doing and that he doesn’t think about a deeper meaning behind things, when members themselves have recently said how much attention he pays to details. There’s no way he would use a song in one of his videos and not read the lyrics. Or take advantage of his bandmate’s vulnerable moment.

I don’t have a duck for you, but I have a baby chick and a bunny!

Xbox Series X Pro Controller Hex Blade Pro Controller Review

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQUxVg75v2Y

Hello everyone! Welcome back to Too Much Tech.

And in today's video, we're going to be reviewing

this controller that I have from Hex Gaming.

This is the Xbox version of this controller

and obviously will work with Xbox One, One X, Series S,

and Series S.

Why Microsoft name of that?

Not entirely sure.

I actually don't have the new consoles myself.

I have an Xbox Series X, but I primarily use this

on PC.

So what, that's what most of my experience is going

to be on.

Obviously, it's an Xbox One controller

like all the functions you know, what not worth the mic.

This whatever port that nobody ever really uses.

And it does have Micro USB,

just like a regular Xbox controller, because that's what

it's based on.

But, I do wish that Microsoft would like update

to USB Type-C. Sony did.

Sony did.

So, Microsoft, you're next.

But, not necessarily in regards to this controller,

because obviously they're just modifying the ones

that Microsoft has.

And this one I think is an incredible value

for what it is.

And it's really easy to use, other than like maybe

like swapping the panels and whatnot,

but we'll talk about that a little bit later.

So first up, let's go ahead and talk about

the unboxing experience. So, I think the box

actually looks really clean.

It's got a controller just so that you can easily take off

the thumbsticks, and then the two paddles,

or buttons I should say, that are on the back

of the controller.

The Hex Blade tactical gaming controller

for Xbox One and PC.

Designed for esports through Hex Gaming.

Blah, blah, blah.

I will leave Hex Gaming's link in description below,

because they did send this controller out to me

a couple...

No. Two, three months ago I want to say, in January.

And it's pretty clean.

They do give you a few different thumbsticks in the box,

so they give you a domed medium, a domed long,

a concave long, and a regular thumbstick.

And then, obviously you have the ones that come

on the controller. Two remappable buttons

on the back, and the trigger control mechanism

basically you have trigger stops.

So, really nice I would say.

The controller, the feel in the hand is pretty premium.

But let's check out this carrying case

that they give you as well, because this is not

a bad value at all.

So, you have a quick start guide right here,

which is just going to show you, you know,

how to use the controller and whatnot.

And then, on the back, obviously you know,

you have your rear button setup that we'll get

into in just a bit.

Actually, let's go ahead and talk about that right now.

It is also really nice as well that they give you

a six-month warranty for defects with the controller,

but if you have any issues, I would just hit them up

on social networks. And then you just have

like these little, little storage compartments

very similar to an Elite controller for your additional

thumbsticks and whatnot.

And taking off the thumbsticks is really easy.

You just pull it off, and then you just have

to line it back up to put it back on.

And that's it.

Super duper easy. Personally, I have been using

the two convex thumbsticks, the shorter ones.

I wish that there was a medium length thumbstick

that came in the box that was convex.

That would be perfect for aiming for me,

because this does feel a tad short.

But, otherwise, you know, I think it's fine.

And it is decently grippy as well. I would say it's a bit

more grippy than the thumbsticks that Microsoft uses

on their controllers.

Okay. Getting down to the controllers.

So, the controller obviously is extremely comfortable.

Some of the options that I selected myself,

because they did allow me to customize the controller myself.

I just went with the black back buttons,

and then this white back here,

the side grip I believe only comes in black

if you want this kind of texture.

But I think that it looks pretty cool.

And then, the best thing about this controller

is the different face plates that you can get.

Now, these you can't really, you know, swap them out.

You just got to pick it when you decide to get

your controller, but these face plates

are really cool and they do have themed controllers as well

that you can pick from, but I would just customize

my own personally.

I like this little swirl that they got going on.

I just think it looks really cool and very novel.

In terms of like the performance and whatnot.

You do have trigger stops here, so you do have

a full trigger press.

You switch that down and now you've got

a half trigger press, which I think is very useful

for shooters.

Three step trigger stops I don't really think

are fully necessary.

Two steps I think are fine. It's nice to just have it,

but if you did have one additional step,

what I found one some controllers that usually have

those multi-stage trigger stops sometimes it just comes off

and then it doesn't even...

It's not that it doesn't work,

but like if you hit it too hard, sometimes they just

get disengaged, so I feel like the one level of trigger stop

is fine.

Now, in terms of the batteries and whatnot,

you know, it's not rechargeable or at least I didn't opt

for the rechargeable battery pack.

This is more of an Xbox issue.

The battery life is just however long your AA batteries

are going to last.

So, performance wise, thet thumbsticks

are extremely smooth. I would say that these

are comparable to the PowerA controller

that I reviewed a while ago which, those I like quite a bit.

Those are extremely smoooth.

This is very similar.

Maybe...

If I have to quantify like 10% slower-ish.

But I mean, you know, controlling it wise,

is perfectly fine. I do think that these thumbsticks

are very good, very grippy as well.

D-pad it's just normal.

You know, it's just a regular D-pad

from an Xbox controller, just recolored.

But, it is fairly tactile. Controller does feature Bluetooth.

I usually just paly wired, but otherwise,

it's a very, very good and premium feeling

Elite style controller for the Xbox platform.

And this is also now probably going

to be my favorite controller to use as far

as having controllers on Windows.

Reason being, I just really enjoy the placement

of these back paddles here. Like this is just so easy

and natural to hit quickly.

And it doesn't really,

you know, take much effort to actuate it.

And there's no weird placement that your thumb has to

basically learn like you do with a Scuf.

Like having a Scuf, you got to kind of learn

like a weird placement to use these back paddles.

But, using this Hex Gaming controller,

it's very easy. Like it's very natural.

Nothing that you have to relearn.

Your hands just naturally rest right where

those buttons are.

And I feel like that's the most important thing.

If you're going to be using a Pro controller,

it should feel 100% natural to you.

So, if you're looking for the most natural feeling

Pro controller for the Xbox platform,

I will look no further than this.

And then, and also, this thing is extremely customizable.

Like I mean seriously, it's like insane.

So right now we are on Hex Gaming's website,

and you know, you can view all the available controllers

that they have.

But personally, I will go right to making my own.

But I mean, it looks like they got a sale going on

right now where some are between $35-ish to $45 off

which is very good.

I mean that's pretty insane.

And then, also they do have PlayStation controllers

available as well, but I believe these are

for PS4.

The case, honestly for me, looks a little strange,

so I don't really know if I would check out

a PlayStation controller from them.

And obviously, the PS4 controllers...

PS4 controllers are good and you can use them

on PS5. But more or less, you're only going

to be using it on PS4 games.

Like if the game is not PS4 compatible,

your controller doesn't work on PS5 which kind of sucks,

and I wish that Sony would change it,

but I'm pretty sure they aren't going to,

because obviously they want to sell their new controllers.

So, I hope that Hex Gaming is going to get

PlayStation PS5 controllers in soon

that are also just as customizable.

As we can see, they are indeed planning on it as well,

so for your PlayStation guys, be sure to stay tuned,

because I'm pretty sure they're going to be coming out

with something and I will probably

review it when it comes.

But back to the topic at hand, the Blade controller

so you can make your own. We're going to click that.

And I mean look at just how many face plates there are.

Is this...

I don't think that's the one that I picked.

Let's see here.

I got this origin of chaos.

This one looks so clean to me. I absolutely knew

that I had to have it when I seen it.

I mean you got a blood splatter.

Weeds. You know, if that's your thing.

Like you know, whatever, dude.

Oh, they got a couple of them. There are a couple of it.

If you're a cannabis enthusiast, you know,

they got you covered.

And they got chrome.

Chrome cy... That's kind of clean. That chrome cyan,

chrome silver.

Okay. You know. Just depends on what you're into.

Clear. Even if, you know, if you're after the Game Boy

retro vibes.

Well, they got this...

What is this? Like a translucent, where it's not exactly

as transparent. That's kind of clean.

D-pad, they got a ton of different options.

I believe I went for the matte white.

And then, they got some chrome options as well.

ABXY, you know. They just have a ton

of different options in all the different categories.

Different base colors and whatnot for your thumbsticks.

RB buttons you can change as well. You can get a little wild

with them.

Even the buttons on the back, you can also change

the color of these two. So I mean,

It's pretty cool. I think that, you know,

by the time you get one of these all the way out,

you know, you get up to about that $200 price point.

I think it's a pretty fair deal. I mean, right now,

I mean this controller looks pretty insane.

And we haven't like added anything functionally

to the controller, you know. We could have went

with the barebones controller for $140 which is pretty nuts.

But, you know, once we start to customize it,

add on a few of those things, it's only like, you know,

$40, maybe $50 max if you're really pushing it,

but I don't even think it'll let me go that high.

I mean it really only added like an extra like $35.

And we had a pretty fully kitted custom controller.

Hex Gaming...

I don't know guys. That's a really good deal.

You know, Scuf is very easy to go.

$200 plus.

I think that this is a very good and fair price

for, at least an Xbox controller. I'm curious

what the price is going to be

on the PlayStation 5 controller.

So, you know, I'm pretty sure it's going to be a bit more.

If it's similarly priced to this,

I would say it's incredibly fair.

Even topping out at about $200.

I think that's pretty decent.

You know, spending $200 on the controller,

especially like after I'm kind of past the whole

controller phase at the moment,

it's just a little, it's just a little much for me.

$150, $170 is quite a lot.

But at the same time, you got the Elite 2 controller

which is pricey as heck, but this is a lot

more customizable.

So, I don't know. I don't know.

But for now, this controller is definitely my favorite.
