I've been thinking of decorating my Wii. How do go about doing it is the problem. First off, I apologize for the pun. Second, a story:
After browsing the web (
a while ago), I came across the article of a kid with a pretty cool X-Box 360. He went to various shows and places and got signatures of various employees and artists from the Halo universe.... on his console.
Now, as I viewed this I looked over at my white, normal Wii and thought it'd be cool to have something on mine as well. Unfortunately, I don't away from Pittsburgh and home much so I doubt I'd ever get anything special from Nintendo staff or the like. So, I thought 'Hell, I'm in an
Art School.... why don't I draw something on it... make a Nintendo collage or something... but then I run into problems... what do I use? what will I draw? what if I mess up?
I then turn to Google and their almighty image search in hopes of finding other Wiis that people maybe decorated... I found two that used paint... I suck at paint...
So, with painting out of the question, I turn back to the 360 and see what looks to be Sharpie. I LOVE Sharpies and have damn near every color so it'd be nice... but will Sharpie work on the shiny exterior of the Wii?
I Ask You Destructoid for help in my quest for a unique Wii. If you have any suggestions, comments, or tips please comment or email me (Leonheart515@yahoo.com)
If I do decide something, I'll keep you updated....
Thanks for the help. (Credit to whoever owns those pictures and props to the artists)

As for Sharpie on the console, I wouldn't put too much money on it. If you did use it, you'd have to let it sit out for a long time and still then I want to say no. Kind of seems like the Wii is a ghetto Whiteboard....easily erased at anytime.
I'm not sure if using a Sharpie on the Wii would be a good idea. Like Blindside said, it'll most likely rub off easily.
If you go to a car graphics place, they could give you a decent price estimate for their work. At that point all you'd need to do is make sure you get them the art at the right resolution. The end result is that you'll have something that looks just as nice as something painted, but is completely removeable for whatever reason.
"the Wii is a ghetto Whiteboard..."
That sentence may have made my day/week/month.

Removable is good. Vinyl is an interesting suggestion. I'll have to look into it while I'm at home... actually... I wonder if someone in my school has such an option...
