You can actually try putting a white board marker against a spinning yoyo and that creates a topyo-swirl-ish kinda look. You can just draw on yoyos to modify colors 
Swirls
Splashes
Fades
Etc.
You can even put a marker against the rims so that the yoyo would look like a bimetal
Square Wheels was the first thing that came to my mind too, and the Rebel Macrocosm, which was a really wild thing with the unicorn skull and everything…
That looks remarkably the same as the famous raincorn swirl.
Sort of but it is interesting the swirl is only on the inner side of the cups…
I would suggest that the praise for swirls really belongs to the anodisers. It is evidently not as easy as making a brush stroke.
The anodiser who did the previous G2 swirls was an incredible ano artist.
Absolutely. But but constructive feedback to improve a technique specific for yo-yos and colorway choices play a role in a nice final project.
ooh that blue/purple rim dip looks nice!
What are some examples of yoyos YopYo copied?
I thought he was talking about color ways.
The silver one is also very interesting. They must have masked off a galaxy because that black “stripe” isn’t just dark… it’s full galaxy in the stripe bits!
top left is a very… interesting color combination
I can’t say either of those is doing much for me as far as color combinations, either… the Selenes were more to my taste.
I dig the 2 on the right
Yeah apparently GBA offered it to them because Jake doesn’t use GBA anymore (from what I understand - could be wrong)
This one was even earlier. Posted to Flicker in January of 2010 so it was done in 2009. If you go to the link you’ll see “For Dave”. That’s me. I asked Justin (Vendetta to anodize this for me).

Still have it in my collection and treasure it.
Not sure if Justin invented this, but I haven’t seen anything that predates this yet.
