    Hi people:
    Well i've seen lot's of stickers and skins and laptop mods around here, so i decided to go on and do a personal design to skin my vostro 1700 plain black notebook, because im a graphic designer.
    Here is the first sketch of it... some parts are missing, like down in the left corner, there goes a sort of pacman "part".
    The thing is, im going to print the sticker tomorrow, i 've already vectorized the whole artwork, so i'll be posting the finished work when its done. The weird thing about it... is that it goes all in negative but with filled colors, the strokes are white with black background. :D i accept all kinds of comments!

    You say it's a sketch - does that mean it's gonna be coloured in?
    It's pretty nice, I'd love to see a more refined one.

    Well... i have some trouble today i couldn't print, cause i have to do some arrengments in the drawing, but here it is the original vector art. Im going to modifiy it this weekend and printing on monday :D

    Pd: in the middle goes the dell logo, but im going to cut that part of the sticker, so the original "dell plate" stays in the middle of the drawing.

    A little bit busy for my test, but it looks good.

    Will you be using many colors or just a few?

    Dude that looks awesome. You could probably print off a few copies and sell that thing off.
