case design

[Dyrewolph]

okay i've decided this time to choose an existing case and just give it a personalised look... and i've taken a different approach than the last one... but enough babbling... on to design pics... (and before he asks... its done in paint... shop pro... :-P)

Image 2.jpg was the original...

Design.jpg is the updated case so far... still working on it (there's more to come)

I guess I should mention the original case is a CoolerMaster Stacker

I have more planned... I'll post pics and stuff as I get around to finishing them...

[handrail]

what are you going to use to create the designs? fiberglass, bond-o, metal???

[Dyrewolph]

aluminium... which i have already cut my foot on when i got into bed one evening... they now sit safely behind my bookcase-turned-dvd-rack

for some reason when i try and do a gradient as a brush colour on paint shop pro the program crashes... i'm yet to figure out why... i've had to resort to creating one in word and then pasting it into my image with a mask layer and then tweaking the colours...

[handrail]

i know the problem...you're spelling color with a U. it's confusing your computer.

[Dyrewolph]

x.x silly americans... dont know how to spell colour properly... can't even get the english language right even though they were once an english colony... silly americans...

[Brian]

No see. The English language was already mucked up. That's why we came to America and made our own version. It's improved. Australians unfortunately still have some wacky old English dialect...

[handrail]

yeah, i mean who spells "through" with an ough anymore...it's thru man!!

spelling am good.

[Brian]

heh... reminds me of Eddie Izzard (English comic):

"You (Americans) pronounce herb 'erb,' while we pronounce herb 'Herb' because there's a ****ing 'H' in it!"

[handrail]

"...and that's just cheating at Scrabble"

[blackjet]

"You (Americans) pronounce herb 'erb,' while we pronounce herb 'Herb' because there's a ****ing 'H' in it!"LOL :lol:

[Dyrewolph]

added a bit more detail to the front... still more to come

[Kurtis]

ur gonna end up designing some super-complex thing that you're never going to do :-P

[J2T]

Wait wait...you have time to do this and it doesn't show up in your ramblings? Slacker!!! So have you even purchased the Stacker yet?

[Dyrewolph]

ur gonna end up designing some super-complex thing that you're never going to do :-P

I'm deliberately keeping it simple whilst trying to make it look good...

and no... haven't purchased it yet... havent had a chance to go pick it up... dont own a car so... have to borrow my parents...

[Dyrewolph]

added text... font will probably change to something more dremel friendly

also shortened the amount of mesh

[Dyrewolph]

Eyes...
will be blue led-lit acrylic... left eye (looking at it) will be power... right eye will be reset...

[Dyrewolph]

someone in one of my chat groups suggested something in latin... so...
liquid dragon comes out as
"Liquidus Extraho"... opinions?

EDIT: Or i could just put 'Liquid Dragon' or 'Fluid Dragon'

[Kurtis]

if you put something in latin make it something cooler than liquid dragon :P

[Rich]

Urinating dragon???

[Dyrewolph]

Urinating dragon???

mmm that could almost work ^_^

[Dyrewolph]

okay so i was chatting with kurtis on msn (which is always scary) and we were throwing suggestions for the name off and I realised... I've been using a variation of a suitable name for the last 4 months as a screen name...

Leviathan... the mythical sea serpent from the bible... now anyone that really knows me knows that I'm not christian so the religious side of it has no meaning (even though it is kinda cool being the name of an anti-christ type beast)... but i think it suits the case well...

the reason i wanted to go with the water dragon was i intend to watercool the PC inside pretty severely... in fact i'll probably be spending almost as much on my watercooling set-up as i will on the CPU... well not quite but still...

So... I'll go ahead and name it Lehveyeahthahn... but I'm still open to other suggestions if anyone has any...

[the man]

You people are right the english lang is so messed up
