Early yesterday, the guys over at
tinycartridge.com published a post about a trio of
Animal Crossing: New Leaf designs that, after being applied to the cushions that can be purchased within this addicting 3DS title, allow players to plop adorable Mega Drives, Super Famicoms and even PlayStations in front of their retro TVs (or, if they're like me, their
modern/mixed-wood TVs).
As much as I liked those designs, I couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed that the person responsible for them didn't create
Dreamcast and
PC Engine ones, too--especially since both of those systems actually were square-shaped, unlike their aforementioned 16-bit and 32-bit counterparts.
So, what did I do? I whipped up a few of my own designs. Four, in fact: a white Dreamcast, a properly gray Dreamcast, a PC Engine and a PC Engine
Core Grafx II.
Here's what my first PC Engine design looked like after Re-Tail's Cyrus got through with it:
I've since changed it up ever so slightly, although I'm guessing most folks won't notice the alterations.
Here's a closer look at the design, by the way, as well as its associated QR code:
And here's the Core Grafx II design I came up with, as well as its QR code:
Like I said earlier, I ended up making two Dreamcast designs--one of which is gray, and one of which is white.
I know the Dreamcast's actually a light gray, but for whatever reason I prefer the white design to the gray one. (Maybe because a cushion bearing it is sitting beside a PC Engine cushion in my male New Leaf character's "man room," and I've always had a thing for symmetry.)
I'm pretty sure most hard-core Sega fans are going to want their Dreamcasts to be gray, though, so I made a design to please them, too.
Anyway, here's the gray Dreamcast design:
And here's the white one:
Finally, here's a screencap of the Dreamcast and PC Engine designs--affixed to cushions courtesy of Cyrus, of course--sitting in my above-mentioned man cave.
Should I make any other console-inspired designs? If you think so, feel free to let me know which ones in the comments section below.
Note: just in case anyone's wondering, I realize the lid on the Dreamcast design is a bit smaller than it should be. It was the proper size in my original design, but it looked all sorts of wrong when applied to a cushion. So, I shrunk it a bit, as my intention was to make a cushion design. If anyone would like me to make and share another Dreamcast design--one that features a properly sized lid (so you can hang it on your walls or something)--let me know in the comments section below.
