Famicom and NES designs for your Animal Crossing: New Leaf flat

Don't worry, those of you who aren't as obsessed with New Leaf as I currently am, this blog isn't transitioning into an Animal Crossing QR code blog, despite these last three posts.

In fact, this will be the last QR code-focused post for a number of days--although I can't promise that another won't be published on, say, Friday or Saturday.

As for this particular QR code-filled post: as I'm sure you surmised from the header above, the focus today is on Famicom and NES designs.

In the screencap below, Aino, the Fabulously Coifed Mayor of Animachi, shows off a couple of cushions that have been affixed with my most recent designs:



I know the NES cushion is a bit wonky, but the actual design is pretty nice (if I do say so myself):



Oh, and here's the Famicom design (and corresponding QR code, for those of you who want to plop a cushy Famicom in front of one of the many TVs that are surely sitting in your New Leaf pad):



You don't have to have these designs etched onto a cushion (by Re-Tail's Cyrus), of course. Another option is to hang them on your walls, like art--and like Bryan demonstrates in the following screenshot.



Or you could sit them out on easels, for an even more artsy interior design element.

Next up: a handful of handheld designs--assuming they look decent enough after being plastered onto cushions.

I am starting to want these pillows for my real life home.

Ha! Thanks, Reggie :)

Ah, now there's an idea, Michael! Make it happen :)

michaelstearns said...

No I am just the idea guy on this one. :) I looked to Etsy but nothing came up! (I was actually a little surprised!)

Well, there's that graphic designer who's selling cushions with the faces of AC characters on them--and he was inspired by this sort of thing, I think.


As for me turning your idea into reality: it isn't really something that's within my abilities, I'm sorry to say. I'd love it if someone figured out how I could make it happen, though :)

Ah, I didn't mean to suggest you would do it, more like the general kind of "wouldn't that be nice" musing that doesn't accomplish anything. ;)

I understand. I do the same thing all the time :)
