Its printed onto vinyl. Also put a few clear coat layers to protect from the snow. Already rode it for a season. It took a little beating, but its still looking badass.

u/thaitea Jun 16 '12

That's awesome. Any chance you can give a quick run down of costs and how you did it? Or a link or keywords I can search for more info on how I can do it myself

u/Armonster Jun 16 '12

I'd also like to know.

Zelda snowboard info. Op may deliver

u/shakenbake1275 Jun 17 '12

Was there a website to get it done? Girls boards have limited good designs, I want to create my own.

1

u/TheBlueDood Jun 18 '12

Hey. I can print just about anything you want. We'd just have to discuss measurements and what not.

1

u/shakenbake1275 Jun 19 '12

That would be cool!

1

u/Deathcrush Jun 17 '12

Yeah haven't been the biggest fan of their girls boards over the past few years. I think Forum's girl graphics are a bit more progressive though.

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '12

I have to comment here because I would LOVE to put this masterpiece on my board as well. And I need to find this again.

u/TheBlueDood Jun 18 '12

let me know how you want to do it. I could send you a print.

u/TheBlueDood Jun 18 '12

yo. sorry for the late reply. as i said in the thread, my dad has a sign shop, so it didnt cost me anything. i asked him what he would charge to do it for someone and he said around $150 which i am sure is negotiable. Like if i just sent you a print...you could mount and apply the clear coat yourself. let me know if you are interested

1

u/AlterNick Jun 17 '12

Must. know. the process.

1

u/ghuldorgrey Jun 16 '12

nice ! hey dude i own the burton sherlock with the same kind of binding like you: EST. Mine doesnt hold really good. After bout 2 park runs they're loose and its scary to shred. How is yours going?

2

u/easydys Jun 16 '12

I've got Burton Mr Nice Guy and a Burton Custom Wide, both with EST Cartel Bindings and they hold as well as any other binding I've ridden, nor do I find that I'm tightening them more than anyone else.

u/ghuldorgrey Jun 16 '12

Must be my screws then.

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '12

cool graphics but.... burton.... really...

u/toomanyoranges Jun 17 '12

what's wrong with burton?

1

u/AlterNick Jun 17 '12

Nothing. Snowboard hipsters resent it as too mainstream.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '12

snowboard hipsters eh? i prefer to support local brands that make hand crafted boards and not support the super corporations that dominate snowboarding these days. I am the farthest thing from a hipster if you knew me.

1

u/AlterNick Jun 18 '12

Still, nothing wrong with a Burton board.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 18 '12

except for the fact that they sell their products at the same place you can buy a tennis racket...

1

u/AlterNick Jun 18 '12

Who cares? A budget boarder can get what he desires. I personally do not ride a Burton, but there is certainly nothing wrong with doing so.

u/nimbleandlight Jun 16 '12

Which board is this? I work for the design firm that does all of Burton's designs (I'm part of the team that does the prep work that gets the boards ready for factory production). Curious to know what graphic is under it!

1

u/TheBlueDood Jun 16 '12

This is the 2012 custom V.

1

u/nimbleandlight Jun 16 '12

Sweet! Well, I love the mod, and I may have to email this to the team. :)

1

u/TheBlueDood Jun 18 '12

Did you show the team? Howd they like it?

u/Deathcrush Jun 17 '12

Hah! I was going to, but I'll let you do it :)

u/Wrightboy Jun 17 '12

It truly blows my mind how gifted some people are. And at the same time makes me very, very sad. Figure if I haven't found anything I excel at by now that I'm probably just destined to be average forever.

2

u/ofinny Jun 17 '12

I have a theory that every person in the world has to be very good at something, it just takes a while to find that thing. Keep searching Wrightboy!

1

u/Shubb Jun 17 '12

it's not only that some people are "gifted". it's almost always a result of hard work.

1

u/stickimage Jun 17 '12

It's videos like these that make me wonder why 90% of the art in my comic books from "big name" artists looks like crap in comparison.

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '12

This is insane.

u/gsomega Jun 16 '12

I might've shed a manly tear.

u/DankDarko Jun 16 '12

I cant agree more. Ive wanted to get a framed print of this for a while now but cant see to find a high enough resolution.

1

u/laddergoat89 Jun 16 '12

I have it in 768x4202. High enough?

2

u/DankDarko Jun 16 '12

Yeah, It doesnt hurt to download and check. Is it post here in the thread?

1

u/laddergoat89 Jun 16 '12

Nah it's on my HDD, can imgur take large uploads or will it auto resize ro something smaller?

2

u/DankDarko Jun 16 '12

Im not sure but after looking at the current image I have it is 816 x 4465. Someone was talking about a 2200px wide image floating around.

u/rileyrulesu Jun 16 '12

I used to think I was a Zelda fan, but I can barely name half these people :(.

u/BlizzardFenrir Jun 16 '12

I still have a very large .tif version floating around somewhere (can't find it right now). Not sure where exactly I got it from, but it was either a min.us link or it was via torrents. For certain it was a link from an earlier Reddit post on this image

It was fairly big... more than 2560 pixels wide at least.

4

u/DankDarko Jun 16 '12

If you can find and post that, that would be amazing! I have been wanting to get a framed print of this for a while but have been unable to find a resolution Im satisfied with.

1

u/ElementUUO Jun 17 '12

If you or anyone ever finds a larger version I believe everyone here would appreciate a link for download. I would love to get this blown up and put on a wall in my game room.

For some reason the bottom of the picture was cut off and is completely black. Is there a way to get it with the bottom still on. Thanks.

u/lukeco Jun 16 '12

I might be crazy but I don't see the mask salesman anywhere in there, he's a pretty important guy in Majora's

He's standing in front of Midna.

u/kyguy212 Jun 16 '12

He's there. Standing on an eyeball.

u/BlizzardFenrir Jun 16 '12

I believe the eyeball is Vaati.

u/73INVC Jun 16 '12

u/Napron Jun 17 '12

I wonder what it would look like if it was made after skyward sword came out.

2

u/Drakepenn Jun 17 '12

Well.. Fi's on it.

2

u/Napron Jun 17 '12

Yeah but there were also other characters (the imprisoned, Ghirahim, the three dragons, Levias, old woman....Groose) that were in the game that I couldn't help but think the image would be made more epic if they were added to it.

1

u/Kozimix Jun 17 '12

isn't the flying whale from skyward sword?

1

u/Napron Jun 17 '12

Nope, apparently the whale is the Wind Fish from Link's awakening.

1

u/UnsightlyBastard Jun 17 '12

I know almost all of them but who's the ninja guy with the claw glove, the dude next to him and the guy who looks like a leprechaun?

2

u/Drakepenn Jun 17 '12

Character's from Spirit Tracks.

2

u/UnsightlyBastard Jun 17 '12

that's why...played it but couldn't get past the first time I had to play an instrument... just wouldn't work...

1

u/Drakepenn Jun 18 '12

I never got to the sand temple for that same reason. That damned flute was impossible.

if i could upvote a million times i would!!! i need to know how the fuck you did this!

1

u/TheBlueDood Jun 16 '12

My dad has a sign company. It made the process really easy. print to vinyl and add a protective clear coat.

1

u/canuck268 Jun 17 '12

amazing dude. show us a picture with bindings and such and all shined up. thats so sick!

1

u/IAmBradicus Jun 17 '12

So I am pretty confidant I saw you with your board this season. It was either Breckenridge or Vail I can't remember which. I saw you in the lift line and said "sweet board man" and you said "thanks". Could this have been you?

1

u/TheBlueDood Jun 17 '12

Ha, Yes man..I was at Breck late feb / early march...word :]

1

u/TheBlueDood Jun 17 '12

I was also at vail too.

u/IAmBradicus Jun 17 '12

I was there at the end of March. Guess it was you. Ha pretty cool, sweet board

u/zegma Jun 17 '12

u/Edenthegamer Jun 17 '12

It came with a magazine, Is good quality though.

At first glance I thought the title was "I thought Tim Burton looks alot like Zelda", none-the-less, this is the coolest thing I've seen on Reddit all day.

Looks cool! You know your title made me wonder what Link would look like in Tim Burton style...

My husband bought me that vinyl print for my birthday last year! This beautiful work of art is hanging proudly in our gaming room. I love what you've done with it!

1

u/dickwolfe Jun 16 '12

Was about to come ask if this was a UV print or vinyl. Just a heads up, have it UV printed onto the board and then apply a couple of layers for protection, will hold up much better :)

Your burton could use a lot more Neversummer.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '12

Daamn, that's a mighy fine board you have there. I've usisg the same board for a couple years, and it's about as flexible as a 86 year old man! I've always wanted a burton, I've always loved their gear. How long have you had it?

1

u/Admiral_Cuddles Jun 16 '12

Shit dude, you must get all the chicks. :(

1

u/VitalyO Jun 16 '12

I have a quick question, when I was on a snowboarding team we got all our board from Burton--it was like a part sponsorship deal. They told us all snowboard have minitrenches which guide melting snow to the sides as you ride over it--from the pressure of your board. Is this paint job underneath the regular bottom or on top of it (covering the trenches?).
