Custom D'toid Faceplate
Banj \| 2:15 AM on 08.28.2007	16 comments

As some of you may know, Free_Touch is an artist. As some of you may also know, Free_Touch has been painting up XBOX 360 faceplates for people.

I commissioned his talents for myself and received his masterpiece a few days ago so for those who haven't seen it in the forum, here you go.

Sorry for the shit pictures but I had to use my mobile phone, I'll replace them with 'proper' pics off my digicam if I can ever find the fucker.

Also, anyone interested in getting your own custom number, I can't recommend Free_Touch enough. The quality of the faceplate he did for me is immense.

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

Approx. how much $$$ was this commissioned art masterpiece?

The pics on the forum are also pretty sw33t. Free_Touch is talented.

How much you want?

liam2015

do want. problem is, no 360.

Banj

Bare in mind that I live in the UK and he shipped it to me from The Land Of The Free (Touch), it cost �20 all in. I was more than happy with that cos the shipping would be about half of that and those shitty faceplates you can buy are at least �10.

I think you colonials more or less double everything to get dollars.

Free_Touch is awesome, check his blogs or the forums for the other stuff he's done for Dtoiders.

Morrius

Do want!

You could always get one of these and have a crack at your own, though I expect the results would be pretty mixed.

Sounds like a good idea for a competition in fact - Designing a DToid faceplate?

Lulz, free_touch just finished up doing a faceplate for me. I've seen a crappy picture of it but it looks fucking kickass. It's not Dtoid themed but it's still sw33t. He's gonna take a better picture of it and post another blog later today. It shall be epic.

Wow, thanks a lot guise! Banj, I'm glad you dig the plate so much, it actually does look really sweet plastered on your 360.

Love it man. Saw the pic you sent me on XBL. I definately got to get him to make me one, maybe with hot boothbabe on teh front hanging all over the robot.

That is really awesome. Makes me angry that I can't think of anything worth commissioning.

Virtualgirl

I love it! I think I need one now!

atheistium

about me

My name is Banj and I'm into chicks in a Michael Douglas way.

I live and work in the East Riding Of Yorkshire in a one-horse frontier town called Goole. If you imagine the river Humber as the arsehole of England, Goole is 25 miles up it. I'm 32 years old yet I'm still firmly on the cutting edge of all things, finger on the pulse, back to the wall and balls to the floor.

I work in harmony with the 'po po' in a crime fighting capacity, keeping the streets of Goole clean one dealer at a time. The inherant irony being that I used to have a massive drug problem but "takes a cunt to catch a cunt" as Jesus once said.

Oh yeah, did I mention that I fucking love videogames? I would say that a good 50% of my awake time is spend playing, reading about or talking about games. I'm currently totally and utterly addicted to my XBOX 360 and the whole Live community thing. It's truely the next step in gaming, not that fucking magic wand bollocks Nintendo are touting.

Lastly, I'm a huge fan of the 'Toid. I love it's general sense of humour, I love it's strong community but most of all I love the excellent forum and the members who post there. You cats are my bread and butter.

Now, sit back, relax and let me take you on a hugely irrelevant and pointless journey.
