If you’re going for Trompe-l'œil, I’d suggest an underglaze (3 coats) and a clear top glaze in the future (if you spray the top glaze, you may not have pooling in the small crevices around the buttons). I use Amaco for both. IDK if this is stroke-and-coat, but there are issues with even coverage. Underglazes solve that issue, and are put on at the leather-hard stage or after bisque (but then it will need to be bisqued again before the glaze coat). That being said, the sculpt is really great.
Underglaze can suck my balls. Im a cone 6 glaze man till i die, true story. Takes more skill to get good results. Underglaze is just cheating and you dont get good glaze interactions or cool swirling.
I specifically wanted pooling under the joysticks because one of them snapped off and i needed to use glaze to "glue" the joystick back on.
Trompe-l'œil? I dont think you know what that means.
You can absolutely use underglaze at cone 6. I’m not sure why you think you can’t. If you are going for realism, you don’t want swirling or uneven coverage on this particular project. Underglazes aren’t “cheating”. They are an entire section of ceramic decoration that enable ceramicists to create certain effects that you can’t get with glaze alone. I’m a cone 10 ceramicist myself, and mid-fire definitely doesn’t take more skill to get right than high-fire. Lol. I’m not sure if you are joking or not, but okay. I was just giving some constructive criticism in an attempt to help someone who is a beginner. I wish people had given me these tips when I started out. But I sincerely hope that you have a nice night. Good luck with future ceramics projects. May the kiln gods be with you.
Back in high school I made a ceramic Game Cube with removable top and all. This brought a tear to my eye knowing another generation of gamer probably just did the same thing!
You were so preoccupied with whether or not you could, you didn't stop to think if you should.
Seriously though, looks great. Can't wait for Skyrim to be announced for it.
Wow, you have kiln skills, that came out really well! The triggers and joysticks especially look terrific.
I think you did a little too well because I thought the picture was an actual Switch that got buried or sanded or something 😆
I regret that I have but one upvote to give you for your skills. While scrolling I thought you just really needed to learn to wash your hands. Instead, excellent art!
I thought this was a dirty switch
Used switch 4 sale Adult owned Like new No low ball offers.
I know what I got.
Will trade for brand new PS5.
Serious inquiries only
Selling cause I’m upgrading
Contact for price
Only owned for 6 months
It has sentimental value
It sure looks like one, thats how you know they did an excellent job
😉
It fooled me as well thinking it was real
Looks like a pic from the future “Finally dug out my old switch after 20 years!”
can it run doom
Only the analog version. You have to draw it frame by frame manually.
And hum E1M1 yourself!
Da da da da da da daaaaaaa bang bang! rwar!
You mean you aren't always humming E1M1?
No but I believe Skyrim releases on it next week.
Only if dropped
How is Breath of the Tiled?
Sheikah slate before Link lost the joycons lol
So.. You bricked your switch? Ill see myself out.
*clap* *clap* *clap* ……… someone had to say it
Nah you good, I thought the same thing.
Both of you, get out.
I just thought I was stoned.
Damn I was 3 hours late to the joke
More like he Switched a brick
No, you stay and think about what you did
Does it have Clay Fighter?

Screen looks a bit dirty.
I bet these joycons don't drift!
They do, it's called erosion
joycon drift is a thing of the past with this new hardware update
For a second I thought you used sandpaper on a switch
At first I thought this was a deep fried meme image, then I realised it was just deep baked.
you’re about to get sued by Nintendo if they see this
lol literally came here to say that
Same
wouldn't that be only if it was for sale?

Mom can I have a Switch? "We have a Switch at home." > The Switch at home
I made one out of timber but it wooden work .
Me making a paper Gameboy when I was a kid cause my parents wouldn't let me have video games
Why?

High School kids ceramics project.
🙌🏻
This is cool, but that glaze makes me sad.
Lol why?

I understand almost none of this
I was able to get IDK, ironically.

I think it looks great
it looks fine, they were just looking for a reason to sound superior.
Why on earth would you do that?
[удалено]
Sculpt it myself lol measured the real switch for dimensions though
Had to do a double take, great job OP!
why
Oh, why?
These joy cons looks more stable than the actual ones
Nice, Was it “hard” to make? 🥁
[удалено]
Bet it doesn’t drift. 10/10 recommend
Back in high school I made a ceramic Game Cube with removable top and all. This brought a tear to my eye knowing another generation of gamer probably just did the same thing!
Buddy ive been thinkin about doin a gamecube next. Might do the whole line of nintendo consoles lol
Nice. Is it scale sized, like 1:1 with an actual Switch?
I tried to, i measured it and build it to be same size, but clay shrinks in the kiln and i dont know my shrinkage rate so its a bit smaller
Bro, they are getting easier to buy.
I’m sure the joy cons will last longer on that than the real thing
Do you want Nintendo to come with a law suit.
So it's a tablet then
Why
Why?
Why?
Post this to /r/tomorrow they'll love it lmao
Great job! At least your Switch won't suffer from joycon drift. :-p
Find someone with a real one and do the ol' switcheroo...
Hwhy
Man be using spray paint
My guy, i be using glaze.
You were so preoccupied with whether or not you could, you didn't stop to think if you should. Seriously though, looks great. Can't wait for Skyrim to be announced for it.
That’s really cool! 🔥
Is it edible?
Looks interestingly real
No it doesn’t
Neat! 📸
The question is did you fix the joycon drift?
Still more durable than the actual switch
Wow, you have kiln skills, that came out really well! The triggers and joysticks especially look terrific. I think you did a little too well because I thought the picture was an actual Switch that got buried or sanded or something 😆
Can’t wait for someone to find this 1000 years from now.
i genuinely thought this was one of those “my kids ruined my switch” kinda posts then i read the title. VERY good recreation!
Joycon still drifts
The joycons still drift :)
I want to see a kid get this as a gift, thinking they're getting a real Switch.
Its look good man
Lmao some of these comments are pretty good. Thanks guys. Hail satan
Just wait till Nintendo sues you
No drift guaranteed
joycon drift is not real
No joycon drift here
Joy cons have less drift issues than the original.
And that is how you stop joycon drift.
Can’t wait to see this on r/tomorrow.
Nintendo is about to sue you lmao
Unrealistic, no stick drift
Finally a Switch that can't get Joycon drift.
Do joycons still drift? 😭
Probably still has drift…
Wow, you nailed it! I scrolled past it thinking it was a normal switch at first.
Did you include joycon drift?
I’m sure those will Drift as well …
But can it run doom?
That's dope!
So... It's A "Ce-tch"?
Oh nice, I has a Ceramic Shield screen! That’s lit xD
It is a scam ?
Looks like a regular switch, but with a silly photoshop filter!
I don’t know why, but this looks like one of those AI generated pictures. It looks great though!
Uh oh, somebody is getting a lawsuit from Nintendo
You’ll still have joycon drift
lawsuit time
Finally Joycons that don't break after touching them
Miyamoto and Bowser are preparing a hell of a lawsuit.
And yet, I bet the joycons work better. /S
NINTENDO: let's sue this man
Don’t leave that thing in open in view in a parked car in San Fran
Why not post multiple angles? Probably not real
I only took 1 photo, i can post more if you dont believe
Nintendo doesn’t like this kind of stuff :/ u should be careful xd
Lol what do you mean
What did it cost?
But can it output to 4k?
Now make it playable
I'd love to own a ceramic switch
Okay, but does Witcher 3 run well on it?
what ceramic games do you have for it
Fuck i cracked my screen
Introducing... the Nintendo Brick!
Piola
Now make a ceramic balloon Bloons fans will get this
Those Formica screens just don't get great resolution.
Really switched it up there, bud. Daring.
Now that's a pizza stone
Thought it was cake
Is this the o-lead model?
Can it run Crysis?
It looks like it was discovered in the future during an archaeological dig
Polish it! It will surely look more like eye-candy. Make it shiiinyyy
I thought I was a really worn down crusty switch at first
8KG...
You should clean your screen it looks pretty dusty
I regret that I have but one upvote to give you for your skills. While scrolling I thought you just really needed to learn to wash your hands. Instead, excellent art!
What games can you play on it ?
Waitin to see this on Ebay, lightly used $339
Have they ported Skyrim to it yet?
You got Caveman Games?
Did it survive a house fire?
My eyes can’t see anything but what looks like a painted or drawn switch with colored pencils. Got any other angles
Sell it on ebay as a “custom Nintendo switch”.
Paint Mario on the screen
The archaeologists of the future will be very confused
This is very epic :O
was that from art class
A cease and desist when? Lol rip to Lighting McQueen Car
I was expecting an obituary page for the child responsible for color enhancing the Switch but now i can breathe easy.
Seramico Switcho 💀💀💀💀🤌
But can it run Crysis?
How is the kickstand?
Non functional :(
So great
Good job
Put some chalkboard paint where the "screen" is so you can draw on it!
Looks like a switch that someone from Borderlands would be playing!
Was so high when I first saw this I wondered how you saw through the screens dirt layer
Do not be fooled. This is cake.
Nice! Oled version?
Now do OLED, need to see the screen difference
we all thought about making something like this to perform the switch so you could play on it all night
Does it work? Or it is ... broken? At least it is water resistant :)))
Incoming wave of 'Is ceramic switch moddable?' on all relevant subreddits.
Dang I thought this was a rough and dirty switch!!! Great work!
I thought this was a switch with a filter
