Scorpion Xbox

[freakzilla3333]

This forum is a follow up from the one called "MK poll". It is a more appropriate and better name for my Scorpion XBOX.

I have attached a photoshop design drawing of my SCORPION XBOX. I think it's good enough now, had loads of feedback from kimosabe mainly, but thanks to MKChampion, Su8zero and Dragonis.Lou as well.

Please post your opinions and edit the design drawing if you want to (post if you do).

Thsi is a heavily modded XBOX to be themed like the Ninja "Scorpion". It contains no copyright images or text from MK for legal reasons, yet still evokes his slightly evil ninja presence. Check out the real scorpion in resin, bottom right of the XBOX top casing. This creature lights up in yellow too! The LED's make the scorpion glow Gold! You can see his beady eyes.

On the Hard Drive are LOADS of Save Files and "custom soundtracks".
For rock people: the famous NIRVANA:Nevermind album, several Foo Fighters albums, and of course all of the Red Hot Chili Peppers albums .

Most of the custom soundtracks are rap. Including Dr.Dre, Snoop Dogg, Ludacris, Xzibit, Knoc'turn-al, Fat Joe, 50 Cent, G-Unit and many more of the best rap tracks ever. I have recently added the entire album LUDACRIS:The Red Light District.

With this XBOX you can easily switch fan modes: 6V Standard and 12V Turbo by the use of a sub-mini toggle switch.

You get a crystal controller with it and all leads/cables included.

I'm gonna put it for sale on ebay when it's done, starting at about £149.


So Opinions Please!

Here's a diagram so you can see what has been done and what's what.

You gotta love just how evil this thing is... It's so evil... you have to pronounce it as "Eveeel".

 

[MKChampion]

hey

the design looks excellent

are you planning on putting any designs around the square scorpion jewel?

 

[freakzilla3333]

Good point, it does look a bit bare around that scorpion block. Maybe a fantastic drawing of LOADS of skulls like Quan Chi's green skulls shield in the intro to MK Deception. Or have the spear rope coming from on the top of the XBOX and it could be like a border. Or I could make the aluminium "spines" of the scorpion resin block longer. What do you think? Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks for the feedback. I like that you think it looks so EEEVIL, dragonis.lou

Last night I was thinking that this xbox would look rubbish when I had to remove the 2 MKscorpion drawings. But now, it's MUCH,MUCH better! If I didn't have to remove those 2 drawings, this xbox would not have been as good.

I will probably post some design drawings soon for around that scorpion block, but any suggestions are welcome. Feedback has made this XBOX as good as it is. I will post a series of designs when it's made and finished to show the amazing transformations in the designs and to prove how the feedback worked so well.

i know you have alot of skulls in your design already but...

where the square scorpion jewel is, you do a half pose of scorpion with skull (for face) and with his mouth open and in one of his hands he's holding his mask, he'd be placed in a corner of where the square jewel is but still noticable with detail, and then the skullface of scorpion is breathing out fire towards and all around the jewel portraying scorpion's fatality...just a thought
ask any questions if you don't get what i'm talking about

 

[freakzilla3333]

Sounds good, but very easy to mess up. Also I'm trying to not include scorpion in this xbox because of the copyright thing. The drawing bottom left is a made up ninja that looks a bit like scorpion.

Thanks anyway, keep the ideas coming, we'll think of something.

 

[freakzilla3333]

I played the game MK Deception for a while with Scorpion last night, and I had an idea, what about having ninja throwing daggers and ninja throwing stars around the scorpion stuck into the XBOX case like they had been thrown into it. And I could paint a bit of red where they meet the XBOX case as though the XBOX is bleeding.

What do you think?

 

[freakzilla3333]

Like this.

 

[freakzilla3333]

I just changed the ninja drawing to something simpler and clearer that I think evokes Scorpions presence again, but cannot be copyright at all.

So now I can advertise this XBOX in GamesMaster magazine when it's done before I sell it.

Nothing copyright on it haha. This XBOX still makes you think of Scorpion right?

 

[Dragonis.Lou]

I like the ninja stars and daggers idea... but not too big a fan on the new ninja design in the bottom left. I think that there's just too many eyes on the box with that. You're going to have the eyes from the skulls and the eyes on the top, maybe... You could have a skeleton with his arms outstretched (or just one hand) manipulating a ball of fire?

It wouldn't be copyright infringement on anything because they're so many flamng skeletons anyways... if Midway tries to sue you for that, then you can say..."Oh yeah? well i'm gonna tell Marvel about similarites between Ghost Rider and Scorpion!"

 

[freakzilla3333]

Great Skeleton hand and flame idea. I think I'll do a skeleton hand wearing a ninja glove thing creating a ball of fire.

Thanks for the feedback.

 

[freakzilla3333]

Or maybe have the spear rope coming from the top left of the front of the XBOX, then it won't cover up the yellow scorpion silhouette that is on the right. Or have a chain attached to the front. Or another scorpion silhouette. Or spikes?

What do you think?

I'll post designs later.

 

[Dragonis.Lou]

On the bottom left have the skeleton facing out. With his left hand bent and palm up form a ball of fire... with his right arm stretched out, shoot the rope/spear towards the activity lights so the spear is 'pointing' to the lights on the far right.

 

[freakzilla3333]

Or maybe have the skeleton ninja hand with flame and it's under the XBOX text on the DVD Tray so I could paint the XB and half of the O with a thin layer of orange/red to make it look like it's glowing with the heat.

 

[freakzilla3333]

Like this: (see attachment).
Excuse the rubbish skeleton hand drawing, I will do a better one when I get my digital camera back (someone borrowed it). I will take a photo of my hand and paint over it with photoshop. Then for the real thing I will draw it with pencil and coloured pencils (if this is the chosen thing to do with that bottom left corner).

 

[Dragonis.Lou]

That looks pretty cool as well.

 

[freakzilla3333]

That should do it then. It took about 20 designs and alterations, but now the design for this Scorpion XBOX is 99.9% complete. I'll get making it 4th April. The final 0.1% is confirmation that this is as best as the design can be. Dragonis.Lou, Kimosabe, MKChampion... and anyone else's feedback is welcome.

Final feedback please.

 

[MKChampion]

the ninja stars and skull hand with flames on xbox name did it...it looks complete...ready to be brought to life...good luck with it...with the skills you've shown it'll probably turn out better than anyone expected

 

[freakzilla3333]

Thanks
