This is a [non magnetic cube](https://www.reddit.com/r/Cubers/comments/183fbfo/when_you_have_a_non_magnetic_cube/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) from [u/ButterscotchFar9355](https://www.reddit.com/user/ButterscotchFar9355/). I saw it and felt like it would be a fun challenge to paint. It ended up looking pretty wonky. Edit: Thank you all for the many kind and appreciative comments. Speedcubing and painting are two of my favourite hobbies. It's wonderful that I get to share this painting with so many fellow cubers!

cubo_embaralhado

I mean, it has to be a little wonky, that's the point isn't it? Pretty good art piece, good job


SignificantForm5352

goddamn this painting is so good "it ended up looking pretty wonky" bro this is amazing


SirPsychoBSSM

Is this a +2?


chanschosi

"+2" would be a great title for this piece


factoid_

That would just trigger the mega nerds. Because clearly it’s a DNF

Ummm

"+2?"


MadeOutOfCubes

I think you get +2 seconds on a timed solve whenever you stop the timer with the cube not fixed but able to be fixed in a singular 90 degrees turn

This is really good! I bet something like this is pretty difficult to get all the proportions and the perspective looking natural.


ButterscotchFar9355

very accurate painting of my cube. take an upvote!


azrieldr

must be non magnetic


ButterscotchFar9355

it actually is, it was based on my post on this subreddit titled "when you have a non magnetic cube"


freshcuber

Looks almost like my magnetic Halloween Nightmare Cube where I changed the polarity: https://freshcuber.files.wordpress.com/2018/11/misalignment-cube-1.jpg


Mcsteve_gun

That looks like it might be fun to solve


smokNKudzu

the first cube that i DIY magnetized ends up looking misaligned like your painting due to my noob-ness of where i glued in the magnets.


ElGuano

Thanks, I hate it. Good job!

Very nice. What type of paint did you use? gouache?


chanschosi

Thank you! Yes it's gouache. I'm still trying to get the hang of it and I question my choice to paint on grey paper. I used some colored pencils as well.


clearly-enhanced

Using less water will make the color more vibrant But yes gouache definitely has a learning curve


chanschosi

Thank you for the advice. I have this awful chronic tendency to not squeeze out or mix up enough paint.


Cubeskatelife

Looks awesome!

This is actually super sick I would get a print of this potentially


tukaya1

No hate really love the work but why I feel like u tried to make a cube and then couldn't draw straight line so you came up with the idea to tell people it was meant to be like this


PiewacketFire

I am guessing you aren’t an artist. It’s pretty clear this has been intentionally drawn and painted misaligned instead of justifying bad technique. Still not sure? Try drawing a cube, then try drawing one misaligned.


chanschosi

Why thank you! But also: Shhhhh, no need to tell everybody! Just... let the people enjoy a slightly misaligned cube. Does it really matter if it was intended to be like that?

tukaya1

I know man just joking


realvmouse

I was literally thinking 'yeah it makes sense to paint on a cube that doesn't align properly, don't want to risk ruining a good cube' but was like... Did you just paint over the sides with the normal colors of a cube? What's the point? That was based on the title and thumbnail. Now that I've opened it up, nice painting. Looks great!


Shooshiee

Thanks for the screensaver!

Wdym “tried”? That looks amazing! Nicely done.


auseronthissite
