Sum New Darkside Stikz

[Tha-Darkside]

Greetings all,

I've been away for awhile, trying to take care of other business but thought I'd bounce in and post a few of my newer stiks. There's one that you'll have to go to my site to see, for obvious reasons, it's the one titled 'Se7en'.

One is a sanwa and the other is a happ. Lately I've been focusing on improving on details in my case designs so I like to make subtle changes in different areas.

Makoto (sanwa)

Monster (happ)

The newest one will have to be seen on my website...

[The Mullah]

love the curves on the titty stick. and the shape of the makoto is my favourite of your work so far.

[EJM]

Awesome stuff!!!!
:tup:

So what do the 2 extra butons on the titty stick do? Are they L1 & L2?

[kin3tix]

[Kingbuzzo]

love that slim sanwa stick.

I got to build me one of those! I assume you used the sanwa stick blueprints on your site, but shortened the back, front and sides.

would you be able to let us know the measurements? :p

I might make my own with this artwork

great job

thanks,

Thanks 4 the feedback everyone.

EJM: You're right, the two buttons on the back of 'Se7en' are L1 & L2, the main reason I put them on this stik is because I play a lot of Guilty Gear and I need those for alternate colors, plus I prefer a 6 button layout over 8.

Ragnafrak: Monster is a great anime, I haven't seen all of them yet but it's very good, much more realistic than most of the other stuff I've seen.

Kingbuzzo: I haven't used those blueprints in quite some time, after building so many stiks I don't really use the same measurements for each one, I kind of guestimate. A very close estimate to get one slim & compact like that would be to take the blueprints from my site and knock an inch off the overall height and width. The main difference in the Makoto stik is that I had to do alot of routing on the inside to get everything to fit, the smaller you go the less room you have to work with. So if you want to make one slim you can either (a) use a metal panel or (b) use wood but be prepared to do some routing. Metal is quicker but the microswitch 'clicks' are louder because it's more hollow, wood will dampen the noise a little (depending on how its built) but it's all a preference really.

The titty stick looks awesome and the makoto one it's beautiful,very nice work

[Ducky]

An updated version of the Crimson Beauty? Let me know if it ever goes up for grabs... I am in love with the Crimson Beauty I got from you and it fits me like a glove... Top notch work on the new sticks, I'm very impressed.

[Shodokan123]

very nice... making me want you to build me one again. God damn my tastes are too expensive for my own good.

[JAMMAR]

Wow, it's been a while seen I've seen you do a Happ stick...very nice!

[ragnafrak]

Yeah man, that shit is quality like HBO.

[SiLLiEMutAfuKA]

WOW I am soooo fucking impressed with that Makoto stick, it's fucking perfect.

I love how thin it is...man I gotta save up for one, how much do you charge for an exact same model?
[but different artwork/colors/etc.]

[Alax.cool.]

Horray for the hentai stick! :tup:

[Christ0pher]

Horray for the hentai stick! :tup:
:clap: GOOOOOOOOOOO BOOBIES!!! :clap:

[MeanGreen]

do you do special request or is it just bids on what you make, your sticks are awesome i really wanted that bleach stick you did but bids went too high for me

[Tha-Darkside]

I do both, I'll make them at random and do bids and when I have the time I'll also do special requests. It just depends on my schedule really, since I'm usually working on 'other' things as well.

[Treybonew]

Well, whenever you start to sell any of the signature editions, let us know because I want one/two in particular.

[Quicksilver3007]

Truly impeccable work as always. Makes me want to get a router that much more. The only thing that concerns me about the mini case design is the weight of the box. Do you add anything to the interior for weight or are the parts and wood enough during play?

[Tha-Darkside]

Routers are definitely a good investment, you can do a lot of cool things with them. As far as the weight of the mini cases, I'm always conscious of the weight because of it's size so there really isn't an issue there. I'll usually use a heavy/dense wood with either a steel top panel or bottom, then an antislip matting. They're fairly heavy for their size.

As far as selling one of the signature stiks, I might be unloading one in the near future, but I'll be sure to announce it on my site or in this forum if/when I do.
