Devil opti

[Badbird_96]

As posted in another thread I did a quick sketch to get the ideas on paper. Not sold on this so looking for suggestions and ideas. Didn't forget about you guys lol.9852

[Badbird_96]

Here is another quick one I did that I thought y'all might enjoy. I do mean these are quick so be gentle.

[popo8]

Dude!!!! Those are AWESOME!!!!

Do my CAMARO NOW!!!!

(Yes... I purchased my 1st app TapaTalk)

[Badbird_96]

Lol I will do it tomorrow after work. I should get home earlier and can actually take some time and make it nice

[popo8]

SHYT... I think what you did above is TITS!!!

[Badbird_96]

Well thanks but trust me I can do much better. Those were literally couple minute sketches and the bird is really cartooney

[hotrod96z28]

Can't wait to see the finish. Then when iget some free time I'll start converting the drawing to make a mill program

[shadowbandit]

Dam I want mine on a shirt u could make some money

[zmm95]

That looks sick!! Id be down for a shirt too!

[popo8]

Seriously, some incredible talent... and mill programs files... wtf!!! lol...

[97firehawk]

Hahaha I'd like the devil opti on my throttle.body plate .

[hotrod96z28]

Yea that's what I do for a living. Make orthopedic surgical tools. Spare time I make stuff for fun. I love watching an idea written in a program develop in to something solid

[Tyler Wheat]

Awesome! That is some pretty serious talent, especially considering you don't have really any time into it. I can't even wrap my head around that. I can't draw to save my life. My hangman games even look like shit.

I want a devil optispark for a TB plate soooo bad now. I think its a killer idea. I'm sold anyway!

I guess before you even draw one up the final, we would need to know from Jacob what is best for his end of the deal?

I'm guessing it would have to be one that was 1D? Nothing 3D?

Badbird, I thought you didn't have a scanner :secret:

BTW, Jacob are you able to write up a program for anything you have a drawing for?

[sick70malibu]

Badbird those are some sweet drawings I can't wait to see what you can do with more time.

PS - I would want a devil opti for my TB as well :-)

Im hoping by as much as I have commented you can see how much I like this.....

I think I may even get a tat of that once its fine tuned..... I love it man.

Maybe it can even be incorporated into something, that will happen in the near future....

[Badbird_96]

Badbird, I thought you didn't have a scanner

That's actually a pic snapped with my phone lol

And thanks guys. I sent it too my dad only suggestions he made was to make the tail and arm a little bigger and maybe do plug wire boots at the base of them. I had considered that but wasnt sure how it would look. I will try to get another one done today after work in that form and post it up.

[hotrod96z28]

Yes I can write a program for just about anything. A plain line drawing will work just fine. I have a couple programs to convert them.

Is the base design style ok? Or is it too much?

This has AWESOME potential.

[hotrod96z28]

The one you have would work. If that's the final design

[94Blackbird]

Here are some 3D renderings that Badbird did for me last year of what I would like my car to eventually look like
986298639864

[Badbird_96]

Well I'm gonna do some suggestions my dad had added atleast for one more sketch then whichever one y'all like more I will do a cleaned up final version.

[Badbird_96]

I was waiting for you to chime in lol. Too bad my laptop died I had a z28 built as well. Larry's car would have been sweet in a 3d model.

I just got home from school lol

[Badbird_96]

It happens I just got off work when I get home imma start on the new one

[Fixxer99TA]

If you made some stickers out of the devil opti pic, Id buy a bunch... That is a great pic!

[Badbird_96]

Here is sketch number 2. I like this one although i don't like the wire boots. Sans those I'm happy with this one. If anybody has any other changes let me know if not I will do a good finished version of this one.9865

Edit - btw forgive the sloppiness on this one. The finished one will be much better. Oh and imma use the arm of the first one. Went for a sparkplug wire look on this one and don't like it lol.

[Fixxer99TA]

Even better!

[popo8]

Love em all.....!!!!

[Badbird_96]

Love em all.....!!!!

Btw was about to start on your car. It has a smooth cowl hood right?

[popo8]

Btw was about to start on your car. It has a smooth cowl hood right?

Whatcha mean smooth? its a regular 3"cowl if that helps

(Yes... I purchased my 1st app TapaTalk)

[Badbird_96]

I mean it doesn't have the ridge in the middle

[popo8]

No.. It does have a ridge.

[Badbird_96]

Ok couldn't tell in the other pic I looked at lol

[Badbird_96]

Hard to get the pic to turn out right without the paper shifting and distorting the car. Oh and Larry just so you know how hard it was to not color the corners of the lights in lol
9873
Edit - oh and pencil doesn't pic up as good either lol

[Tyler Wheat]

I like both, but I like the 2nd one better!

[firebird_1995]

Dude, they're both great. Pick what you want it to look like and go with it. Then go get it copywrited. Cause that shit is hot. I see hats, shirts, stickers, tb plates, mugs, and new logos in the future. You could make some cash on that little ditty....

[Badbird_96]

Meh I could but I'm more of a donate to my ltxtech brethren kind of guy. I've never made a penny off any of my art in the past so why start now

HOLY SHIT!!!! THATS FANTASTIC MAN!!!!!

THANK YOU....

You got talant my man!!!!

[Badbird_96]

HOLY SHIT!!!! THATS FANTASTIC MAN!!!!!

THANK YOU....

You got talant my man!!!!

Lol your welcome and thanks. It looks much better sitting in front of me because it kept distorting but I got one close enough and posted it lol. Btw can you believe I haven't drawn anything for three years before this week?

Edit - oh and on topic if anyone has any suggestions or ideas post up. If not I'm going to do the final version tomorrow after work.

[popo8]

No... I cant believe it. It looks like you draw everyday.. maybe even for a living....

[Mrs Popo8]

That looks awesome!!!!!! I love it!

[CamaroZGuy]

all the pics are awesome! you have some great skills!

[94Blackbird]

Lol your welcome and thanks. It looks much better sitting in front of me because it kept distorting but I got one close enough and posted it lol. Btw can you believe I haven't drawn anything for three years before this week?

I think you're forgetting the couple of drawings you did for me... We haven't known each other THAT long lol

[Badbird_96]

Lol your right I did forget about them. Well excluding Jim's drawings lmao. Time is so hard to keep track of.

[Badbird_96]

Ok here is the final version as far as I see it unless once again anyone has any changes. Can you clean up the lower left bolt hole I thought the ink was dry and my finger smudged it :banghead:

[Tyler Wheat]

Looks awesome man! I love it!

[popo8]

I like it.... alot. No more broken horn?

(Yes... I purchased my 1st app TapaTalk)

[Badbird_96]

Looks awesome man! I love it!
Thanks lol trying to make up for an earlier mustang comment.

I like it.... alot. No more broken horn?

(Yes... I purchased my 1st app TapaTalk)
I dropped that in the second sketch and no one seemed to notice so i figured it was an unneeded detail. I can put it back if you want.

[popo8]

I cant speak for tge majority... It just made me think of hell boy... Lol....


Not a biggie, maybe when THINGS change we can do a voting pole...

(Yes... I purchased my 1st app TapaTalk)

[hotrod96z28]

I like both horns being whole

[Badbird_96]

Good idea. As far as the rest like I say its basically done unless anyone votes for changes

[Fixxer99TA]

Like it dude, like I said before... you make these into stickers, and you got a buyer of a bunch right here..

[Tyler Wheat]

I like it without the broken horn, but that's just me

[Badbird_96]

Like it dude, like I said before... you make these into stickers, and you got a buyer of a bunch right here..

Not 100% on what all its going to be used for yet. They were wanting it for TB covers and actually stickers wouldn't be a bad idea at all. I especially like the shirts idea as well.

So far 2 for whole horns lol

[popo8]

....

So far 2 for whole horns lol

LOL... when the time is right, we will set up an official poll and make something happen (check your PMs).

[Fixxer99TA]

Id take a shirt or 5 also :D

[Badbird_96]

You guys know we can also do some ltx based stuff that's not devil opti related right? I just need ideas to put on paper.

[Fixxer99TA]

True, but the devil opti is such a great idea. I mean, what better thing to compare the opti to...

[Tyler Wheat]

Yeah but the devil opti is LT1 ownership wrapped up in a picture, haha.

[Badbird_96]

Its true lol. I mean the cars run like the DEVIL and the opti is finicky and goes out like its EVIL, plus its in a HELL of a spot to get to. It does have lt1 written all over it lmao

[popo8]

http://img.tapatalk.com/ae31b287-ac97-54b8.jpg

(Yes... I purchased my 1st app TapaTalk)

[Badbird_96]

So when are you gonna Photoshop it and give it color popo? Lol I see you have been playing already.

Seriously if anyone wants to take the time it would look good with the face, arm, and tail in red and dark grey/black around the edge. Kinda like a msd unit. I would do it but have no PC access right now. Imma have to get a laptop lol

[dawdaw]

dang badbird that looks goood! I would be 100% down to buy a t shirt with that on it and a throttle body plate..

[Badbird_96]

Thanks we are working all that out currently. I will keep everyone updated and am going to try and come up with some other stuff as well.

[Fastbird]

I gotta say, I liked the broken off horn better. It's awesome any way you look at it though.

[firebird_1995]

Broken off horn is something most lt1 guys will catch. I've had the coil lug break off of many a cap...

[Badbird_96]

Hmm food for thought. Maybe I will do a cleaned up version with a broken horn this weekend and make a new thread and have a vote

[popo8]

Agreed.....

[meissen]

The pic reminds me of a throttle body plate I saw where it was an evil looking Optispark. Only saw it once and never could figure out where they got it from... wish I could cause I'd love to have something like that for the throttle body plate.

[Badbird_96]

That's actually how this whole thing came about in another thread. Someone said it would make a cool TB plate and I drew it for them lol

[meissen]

Did they get it made into a TB plate? I wonder if it was the same person who I saw :laugh:

edit: D'oh - here it is!

[popo8]

Nothing has been done with the "NEW" EVIL OPTI design yet, however in the near future, we will try to make some things available.... A few hurdles remaining......

[Badbird_96]

I like that one although I like mine better but I am biased lmao.

It will get there Larry just gotta take it one step at a time. Remember with all that's going on don't overdue it and bite off too much. Gotta get you better and this job stuff situated first

[meissen]

Oh yeah, no doubts there dude - yours is effin sweet.

[Badbird_96]

Lol thanks I'm just glad everyone had seemed to like it. I'm always nervous about showing people my drawings

[popo8]

Thank You.

Thank You.

Gotta keep the important stuff in perspective. Health and family is always first. And as stated before we are all family here. That's what makes this site the best on the web. Its not ltxs or the info (although that stuff is a bonus) its the people. I go to work everyday and I'm just a number I don't mean anything but here.... here I am somebody and I'm appreciated. It makes my day to talk to you guys cause y'all care. It was proven with the stuff that Larry is going through and the stuff that Sean went through. I can think of a couple more threads but I would have to look them up to get who it was about but irregardless we care about each other. Sorry for the long message just saying ya know?

I remember a couple of years ago (something like that), one of the sponsors on "that other site" did a group purchase on those. They were just machined and then you could paint it when you got it.

The one here looks a ton better, IMO.

No disagreements there - this would be cool to see

[SMok3 Em A11]

Love the design it im down for a shirt, tb plate, and beer coozie!!!lol

Just a thought but how bout adding some sweat beads seeing water is probably #1 on the opti failure list.lol

And when the final touches are applied i have a vinyl cutter. I can upload the design and cut some stickers. Im new at it and can only do solid colors for now but if anyone is intrested abd with the right permissions id love to make stickers for who ever is intrested.

[zmm95]

Sticker, t shirt, tb plate, WHATEVER....IM DOWN!

Broken horn with sweat drops

Hope this is close your ideas about the sweat drops.

[SMok3 Em A11]

Im diggin the last one. My vote is broken horn with sweat beads.

[popo8]

shyt... i like em all... wish we could offer options...

[Badbird_96]

Well lol nobody ever really said you had to pick one lol

[Tyler Wheat]

I like the original best

[Fastbird]

Broken horn hell yes. Up in the air on the sweat drops. What would those signify is what I'm wondering? Oil leaking (better than burning it........just sayin').

I think the idea of the sweat drops came from a member who wanted to signify that water creates havoc on optis...

[SMok3 Em A11]

Correct that was my 2 cents on the sweat drops....just a thought from a terrible back2back opti experience i had last year involving bad rain storm causing one to go replaced it 10 miles later radiator hose blew and there went #2.lol

[Badbird_96]

Quick sketch of another idea I had. Not liking the eyes but I messed up on them so I colored them solid lmao. But its a rough sketch and conveys the idea anyways.

[Badbird_96]

Just playing with ideas. Thanks btw. Need to come up with some different stuff. Been thinking but no luck yet

[Tyler Wheat]

I like where that one is going, but I still like the original better. Something about the trident...

[CamaroZGuy]

<---- that is all.... ;)

I'm really glad you guys are speaking up now lol. I've been flying blind until here in the last couple of pages. I was thinking we could always have ls1 skewered on the pitchfork hehe

What's the status on this? Going to go anywhere?

[Badbird_96]

I'm can neither confirm nor deny the existence of plans to make this into shirts and stickers etc.

[Tyler Wheat]

And I can neither confirm nor deny my state of excitedness

[Badbird_96]

Lol just know this it hasn't been forgotten just gotta get all the pieces of the puzzle in place first

[Tyler Wheat]

Understood. Sounds great!

[popo8]

Currently have the one with full horns being turned from the sketch into whatever the vinyl guy needs it to be to make stickers.....

We can make changes later, but I just picked one to see how it comes out.....
