Description
These things are addictive to make.After the success of my emote stressball cube i started to think up other designs to stick on a cube and i came up with the idea of the dA symbols. After thinking it over for a few hours, i decided to go and buy myself some more cubes to allow myself to experiment and then got too work.
Sadly i had a few issues with this cube as several pieces broke when being re-assembled. Luckily i bought a couple of cubes which allowed me to frankenstein one together, although it sadly means i have one less cube i can make in the end.
I decided to do 2 different symbols per face with a different shade of background colour to firstly allow for more symbols and secondly add more of a unique twist to the cube. That means there are actually 12 colours on this cube but its not as complicated to solve as long as you remember light blue goes with dark blue and so on.
The cube is again of really poor quality which is always a slight shame, but the only way i can afford to do this. But its still a fun and unique novelty cube and a nice addition to the collection
This cube probably took around 7 hours to complete which isn't too bad. I'm sure my next one will take even less. And if you have any suggestions for themes/images for another cube, let me know. I still have one spare to mess with
Size: 5.3cm3
Made: 2011
Base cube purchased from: gimmegizmos
Notes: Poor quality. Pieces cracked and damaged. No longer turns.

Wow these are cool~ They don't look hand drawn. Did you print the stickers?

Yup. All of my custom cubes have printed stickers. I don't have a steady enough hand to draw them myself xD

I was considering that, but wouldn't know which to pick xD

I really want that. It'd be fantastic if you could upload a tutorial or at least the template, I'm sure I could figure out how to make one.

Each tile is just a small square, 9 per side, 6 sides.
You get a rubiks cube, take the stickers off, and then glues these on in the relevant places. Not really anything to it.
There's not much point uploading the squares since they are scaled for the size of cube i use. Its smaller than an official/average cube and therefore wouldn't definitely work on any cube

Upload a vector and I'll scale it for me >_>;
Hell, upload it if it's a bitmap and I'll vectorize it. I'm that pimpin'

Perhaps a six-cube of different beer cans? XD Or maybe a more conservative Rubik's Cube dice? (though I can't speak for the ease of solving that one 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Since i don't drink alcohol it seems a bit silly to do beer cans, but the dice seams a fun idea xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
YEAH, totally shape the cube like a die!
And being the grammar Nazi I am I just have to say that the singular form is "die" not "dice". xD *is nerd*

i know that but it still sounds weird so i use dice more often

Ha, yeah, me too sometimes.
