What Kind Of Painted Pandoras Would You Like To See?

[gruso]

Trevsweb's post here made me realise that I'd much rather be discussing art than CPUs or queues. So here's a start.

I'm not nominating artists or anything, just showcasing the kind of things that have appeared over the course of the project. And this is just the tip of the iceberg! The aim is to provide a bit of inspiration, and hopefully get people talking about what kind of paint job they'd pay an extra few quid for.

WHAT THIS THREAD IS NOT:
- A place to discuss overclocking
- A place to air your thoughts on whether or not the limited 100 are a good idea
- Anything else unrelated to art

Let's keep it nice, and keep it on topic.

I'd love to see something pixellated-looking - like some sort of retro game or sprite inspired design. I know that's pretty vague, but I can't immediately think of anything to show as an example. (But, to try to give an example: Take a sprite of your favourite character, or a screenshot from a favourite old game, and zoom it in a bit - then crop it to show only an interesting or iconic looking portion of that - that's close to the gist of what's in my mind. )

I like Prometheus idea.
Perhaps after a year or two you could create something out of two graphically stunning Pandora games, one sprite based the other 3d.
If we were painting a gp2x then we could paint something like scenes form Wind and Water on one side and Payback on the other side.
But what to paint for now?

I like to see something like these laptop mods that riff off the Apple logo.

I'm not sure what you could do with the box logo, but I'm sure a clever artist could think of lots of things.

I'm thinking Spectrum go faster stripes would go down well, as would anything Sinclair related. Other than that, loading screens would be great too, faintly....

 

[RoboShmup]

I'd love to own a Pandora with one of Asmo's designs! (probably a Speccy one)

And this seems like an appropriate thread to show off some of my work

(Warning: Massive pictures)

85 inches x 6 inches in Sharpie (I wish photobucket wouldn't make it so small )

Just a little something I put together with some of the backdrops from one of my animations.

(Warning: Not-so-massive pictures)

Not that I would want a fish painted on my Pandora

Not that I would want an icky hand painted on my Pandora

And a few links to some of my animations

That Atari one is awesome........I'd love to know how much these would cost though.

[elwing]

I'dd get TJ's...

[torpor]

I'm just going to laser-engrave some of my own artwork on my Pandoras when they arrive ..

 

[rum runner]

i like the one pissed panda and the pandora girl her visor thing is cool and since i'm buying a headplay unit for when i just feel like the screen is to small and think i need my own personal 52 inch screen when i playing quake 2 or any thing else from my list of super nintendo roms it just seems fitting

 

[Polossatik]

I would like a surrealist /magritte themed "Ceci n'est pas un pandora" style case...

I really like the zx one i saw on another thred so would love to see that ! if theres five designs we could have mabe 4 different system ones and a custom pandora themed one ?

I am really for a custom art Pandora.

 

[Wootson]

As long as they don't paint any tribal nonsense on these things it's all going to be fine.

It's a nice way for OpenPandora to score some extra money, but I'm pretty satisfied with my plain black version of the console.

They seem more like backdrops. (although I do like!)
What about those mocked up, pimped out Pandora pics that was being posted? Like, spectrum, c64, cpc464 and electron designs?
Not sure if you remember what I'm on about.

Whoops, missed that button, that's what happens when scrolling in small window at work. :lol:
Well, yea, there the ones I like h34r:

I'd love to have my pandora painted in metallic red and gold. I really liked my limited edition GBA micro in famicom colours, in was a tad 'iron man' but it looked sexay.

And the Nupfi bikini edition

The Asmo ones are really nice. I'm not much for wallpaper type pictures on these sort of devices.
