This is pretty cool have to see if I can find those Posca pens here and give it a shot! Great!

I like that too Paul, appears a lashes above the eye and veining around the eyeball, random enhancement! Don't tell people it's a mistake but turned out just as planned and no one will be the wiser.

Yep. It's not a bug it's a feature. If somebody doesn't like it, look them in the eye and say "You don't like that! Really! It's the same technique all the big artist are using today. Dude Google it!" 

The best defense is a good offense.

Are you marketing billstein?

Seriously though, i have thought of a really cool effect for this.  Im thinking white enclosure, small black posca text for the knobs.  But for the name of the pedal, large black posca font.  Then tracing a small amount of artline / sharpie over that.  So the title of the text would have these waves spreading out from it.  Going to have to do that for a future build!

If the Poscas are water soluble, to get the efffect and be somewhat in control you might just mist on some water after doing the lettering, if it's not to your liking the first time wash off and try again.
