Customizing a Rubik's Cube

Hi it's me and today I'm doing something that is a result of bullying once again no I'm just kidding okay this will require a bit of backstory so bear with me quite a while ago there was a group of people. who decided they wanted me to do the specific video idea called fixing the unfixable, were copying and pasting this comment demanding that I do it over and over again bombarding my comment sections with the same comment until I finally did it and as soon as I post that video, someone else comes up with the next idea, once again people were copying and pasting the same comment to try to get me to do the next idea that some brilliant person had and so what am I going to do this time?

I guess I'm here to do it again. I don't know how much longer this is going to continue. On the other side, there are a lot of people who are super upset with this and who are complaining about people who copy and paste comments and tell them. Please stop harassing me and stop telling me what to do. I appreciate the passion on both sides. Alright. I don't feel harassed to the point of getting angry, so don't worry about me. I am very excited about this idea. Um, we'll see, I'm willing to do it for you now that we've got that out of the way.

What the mafia wants this time is for you to paint each square of a Rubik's

cube

with a different character. I'll be honest when I first read this idea. I felt funny. I'm never going to do that. I won't do it. Have you seen a Rubik's

cube

? Each square is smaller than my fingernail and I have to paint each square with a Guys, intricate characters, that's not going to happen, but then I thought about it some more because I had to because I saw this comment over and over again for several weeks, You know, maybe there's a way to do this without going completely. crazy, you see what I have in mind, let's get into this incredibly wonderful process.

Here is my Rubik's cube. I actually have an old one of these from high school, but I wanted to keep it for sentimental reasons, so I bought this new one. one to do this people do asmr with these they should if you don't know what a

rubik

's cube is it's a puzzle so you're supposed to mix it all up and then try to get each side the same color which i I won't do a demo because I never really had the patience to figure out how to fully solve one. There's the second layer, but I'm having trouble solving the last one.

I'm not quite sure how to do it, but for our purposes it's a collection of small canvases, this thing has one, two, three, four, five, six sides, each with nine squares, giving us a total of 54 squares. , so you guys wanted me to do 54 micro paintings in one video, too bad, this is going to take some planning, so I got my sketchbook and it looks like I filled every page with messy nonsense. This one is already dead. New sketchbook. Welcome. How cool! I'm going to start by drawing all the squares and separating them into groups for each side and then Plan which characters I specifically want to use by drawing each of them.

Just doing this part seemed to take forever. I was really scared of what I had gotten myself into. Why did I accept this? Here's my full plan and I don't do it. Don't forget page two, oh don't look, it was actually a sketch I did around the same time for my shoes that I painted into a video, so that gives you an idea of ​​how long I've been working on these sketches. They're a little sad especially towards the end, but I know what they are now. Here's the twist. I'm going to do this digitally, not with real paint.

I can hear the moans and complaints. Nobody is happy. Is it exactly what you asked for? No. It makes the thumbnail a little misleading, yes, but you might still like it, give it a try. I'm going to use Procreate and to set up my document correctly I need to do some quick measurements and I'm entering precisely the dimension of one. individual square and now we're ready to start, we'll start with the purple section, boom, purple, I think it makes sense to start by drawing my most classic character, Pickle the dinosaur, so I'm drawing him. I want to do a good job, but it's better to keep it simple, the image will eventually be so small that small details are definitely out of the question, you won't even be able to see them, so I want to stick to very thick outlines and keep the design very bold and exaggerated to making sure you can still see everything very clearly even when it's small and yes one less 53 more to move on to the next character this will be the derp cousin and oof this is the even more derp version of derp probably also one of the Only times you'll see him without food, which I know is very difficult for him, sorry, when you live inside a one by one centimeter square, there's just no room for your cheeseburger, okay little one, you're done . next is pickle again, I'm actually going to reuse this pickle file and just change the colors because I want to create a pickle pink.

You get it like pickled rose but pickled, who my mom actually created. He likes to crochet and has invented crochet patterns. Modeled after some of my characters, if you know how to knit, she actually has her patterns for sale at her store, but the pickle pink was her idea. Word on the street is that she's Pickle's girlfriend, but that's just a rumor, you didn't hear it from me. Now we move on to another classic and my favorite Georgie and this is Georgie with the big lips. I ended up coming back to this several days later and doing those lips, but in the meantime, enjoy Georgie with Botox now everyone.

Who's disappointed that she's not actually painting the designs directly on the Rubik's Cube? Sorry, I definitely wouldn't have even tried this idea with real paint. Some people enjoy small paintings. For me personally, painting in a super small cube. scale to be incredibly frustrating and I would have hated every second of it and I love you guys but ah let's compromise I'm just going to change it and modify it a little bit so it doesn't want to die all the time obviously doing this digitally I have a lot more room to work with As I go, I'm crossing off each character I've finished to stay organized, we have a lot to do, I need to pick up the pace, I'm a little confused about how this idea spread who paints on a

rubik

's cube that's not a thing like that where in the world did this come from oh there is bert bored as always well done with the following clearly with a rubik's cube the squares on each side have to have something in common otherwise you won't be able to solve it so even though I'm putting a different character on each square, I keep each side with the same background color this way it's technically still functional.

The Rubik's Cube You Can Solve Now is a funny story that's actually not that funny and is kind of a minor tragedy. The original comment bomb read: make a Rubik's Cube with a different character in each square, but eventually the comment was reposted. and rewritten so many times it's like the most chaotic game of telephone that never ends, so it ended up mutating to paint a rubik's cube with a different character on each side, but of course when they changed the demand, I already started all the drawings, if I had made a different character on each side, it's only six different characters instead of 54, it could have saved me a lot of time, but whatever, and oh boy, it's my current obsession, it's Cupey, she's the human cupcake, Please, shut up.

I always want to sing about her for some reason. Also let me take the time to reiterate this because you guys are starting to scare me just because you bombard my comment sections with a demand that doesn't mean I'm just going to follow through. By doing so, I make it clear after this video. I'm going to need to take a 40 hour nap because this was a lot of work. Give me a break for a second. This is the last member of the purple team. he's the classic angry pig in a bunny costume whose original design doesn't actually look that angry, but we know he has the attitude problem, so I'll redesign him and go with that, okay, the purple side is complete. oh we have a long road ahead of us step by step we will move to the pink side and you know what I think I just want to get a little more comfortable just adjusting my tail there I am in my derp. monkey, I'm in slippers and I'm going to sit on the couch for the next batch, okay, I'm just reading a little fast, here we go to the pink side.

Now I'm working at Fred, the plant with the most personality then. We have the grateful monkey with the biggest bow ever. We have grumpy Cherry Berry who is kind of a pain in the ass and oh the hair is coming out be free and here comes the polar bear family. Watch how dad Alfred transforms into mom. marlowe and then at baby nat we have the classic squishy ghost coming towards us yes he's back and one of my most precious babies I'm sorry you couldn't bring your popsicle and oh we're on the orange side it's happening we're moving faster now when I say this was so time consuming you don't even understand, I had spent days on this and I felt like it was okay, I was almost done, now I counted and I had only done 25.

I thought about quitting many times, but I thought no, ya I've spent a lot of time on this. I have to finish it. Okay, let's buckle up, that's right, get out your blanket and we'll move to the yellow section. The experience made me appreciate how many characters I have created over the years. I thought it was going to be hard to come up with 54 characters, but actually there were a lot that I wanted to include and I couldn't do it and obviously I couldn't. I worked on these drawings for a lot longer than I was sitting on that couch, so I have this drawing material that goes on forever, so if you're new here you've probably already gathered it, but yeah, these are all completely original characters of mine .

I have created throughout my videos, many of them come from soft designs, many drawings and you know other various art projects that I have done. If you recognize all of these, you either have an incredibly good memory or you're a really interested viewer. many days weeks years okay, not years, but a long time later I finally finished all the designs I need for this project and I'm not going to lie, I was sitting here enjoying this right now because it was a really good feeling. To do all this, I finally realized that the cute duck and not Georgie looked alike and they are both in the green section, just like the biscuit narwhal and the cow dog here in the orange section, so I made a quick little change . of the background colors just to solve that little problem and there we have to magically transport them off the ipad bippity boppity whatever and boom, they printed and I printed them all on sticker paper, which brought them to this point. where they were all formatted and ready to be printed this way was not a test in itself, but I won't bore you with that.

The reason I printed them all separately in columns on the side like this is because this contact paper is incredibly hard to peel off from the corner it's very annoying the only way I could figure out how to peel off the backing was by creating a big messy tear and then using the rough edges to separate the layers now you see sticky sticky first I'm going to apply a strip of packing tape over the entire column to give them a nice protective layer. Smooth down, taking out my cutting mat. I'm going to cut the entire left edge and then use scissors to cut each square like a little fringe and then make my big, nasty tear down the middle that way I can peel off the backing easily and just cut out each little square sticker, bring it back Rubik's cube.

Hello, it's been a while and I glued the first square into place. oh, it's a moment and it's magical, so of course I had to repeat the whole process of taping, cutting, cutting, tearing and trimming over and over again until I felt like I was losing brain cells, but let's focus on the interesting part that It was actually sticking. the stickers in place, just assembling this thing took almost a full day, but it was actually pretty satisfying to do. I had already gotten used to the idea that this video required a huge time commitment, so it was a huge relief to see it. this finally came together and was on the last step, all my hard work was finally finished and put to use.

I wasn't sure if I was ever going to finish this and it's okay I just threw my cube at the camera good job so here is the final result it was a very crazy idea and took a lot of work but I actually feel very happy and fulfilled at the end of it all, it's somehow very satisfying to have so many characters in my hands, I feel like I have the power of all of them, of course this isn't as practical because it's definitely harder to see which square goes where, but I think it's okay, technically it can still be solved and I think it's more of a novelty item anyway, I wanted to mix it up and see what it looked like but I still can't solve it so I'm thinking I need to learn how to do it.

If I could go back, I wouldn't because I wouldn't want to go through that again, but if I had to go. back I would change that purple and pinkThey are very similar in color I think the purple needs to be much darker so it stands out more than the pink, but I won't be too picky because you know what I really love. I think it looks amazing. I know it's not exactly what you expected, but I hope you're happy with it anyway. Thanks so much for looking. and see you next week and no more comment bombs at least for a couple of weeks, give me a break, bye.
