Really Pleased With How This Painting Turned Out!

01 Dec 2017

The area over my desk always felt so empty, and so I decided to put a painting there. Problem: I couldn’t decide which one, and I didn’t have the money to buy a proper one. So, I ended up doing one myself, and what would possibly be better than my logo? The colors match my setup really well, and I love the minimalistic design.

In case you’re wondering how I did this, here’s a step-by-step tutorial:

I painted the whole canvas white as a base coat.
I printed out my logo and stuck some double-sided tape on the back.
I carefully cut out the logo, and then peeled off the plastic over the tape.
I stuck it onto the canvas.
I went over the entire canvas with blue paint multiple times to get good coverage.
Then I peeled off the paper, and fixed the spots were some paint had found it’s way underneath it.

Take a look at this gallery for some more shots:

So, hope you guys like this one as much as I do ;) It’s only my second painting on a canvas - turned out way better than I expected!

In wish i could be that organized

That’s just my German OCD 😂

Do you have a primary monitor?

The one on the right is set as the primary one, but I use them equally often. Mostly I have something open on one screen and something else on the other one. But yeah, all my games for example run on the right one.

DAMN THAT IS SOOOO NICE THAT IS LIKE A DREAM SETUP!!!! SOOOOO COOOOOOLLL AAAAHHHH I WANT IT SO MUCH! You must be rich xD

I am NOT rich. It took me 3 years to build this setup, and most of the stuff I got were Christmas / birthday presents. PC? My Dad got it for 5€ (2 years old). Speakers? Found them in our basement (although they sound absolutely insane!). Keyboard / mouse? Christmas present. Desk? Included in the room makeover I got as a birthday present. LED Strip? My Dad had it lying around and didn’t need it. The only stuff I spent money on: Graphics Card - 40€, Chair: 50€, Monitors: 150€ each. And that was also Christmas / birthday money… So yeah, I’m definitely not rich, I just made the best of what I had or could get as presents… Glad you like it ;)

Here’s a pic :)

First of all , AWESOME ! Secondly , if you wanna submit it , you should put some small Cars and top-gear related things , like … a small Red Toyota Hilux on the desk etc… but this setup already deserve a 75-80.
