Bobby Buggs Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Still trying to get my custom top sheet ready for the new Coiler Metal All Mtn. This is the latest one, Comments please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimo Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 I like both the skull and the reaper. However, I don't think the two of them go well together because of the different art styles. I would lose the skull and maybe develop the reaper theme on the nose as well. Definitely keep the flames. Is the skull your logo? Maybe you could get that die cut on the base...

dshack Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 I find the skull cartoony, and the reaper artsy. Both are badass, but I feel like sticking to one art style might make the board look a little classier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastskiguy Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 The reaper is cool, maybe you could make the logo the same style and put it on the nose and remove the skull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Buggs Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Thanks for the input, its exactly what I was looking for. When you work on something like this for a long time you lose objectivity. Here is what we came up with for a final, Please comment http://www.evilsports.com/gallery/d/1763-1/evil_snowboard_redo16.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastskiguy Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 oooo, yeah, that's scary! 2nd to scantily clad women, that's the coolest out there. Is this gonna be something available to other people? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Buggs Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Once I finalize it I dont think it would be a problem if people from here wanted to use it. Evil Sports is a registered mark of mine so Im the only one who will have anything to say about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furi Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 I like the redo version alot! That skull is much nicer and fit better with the reaper on the tail. Thumbs up on the design! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chubz Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Bobby Echoing what some others have said, go with one version or the other. Cartoony or artsy. I prefer the reaper style. In seeing this work I will be contacting him for some of my skatedeck builds. Just an idea, I would put a magnified head/hood shot on the nose. Make the hood open just a bit that minimal amount of light creates a faint image of the reapers face (skull) with a little smirk on it. The smirk can be interpretted as many things, but I would interpret as the reaper loving what he does for a living. What better gig than being the Angel of Death. Or put the reaper on the nose and place a scrolled document on the tail that has the words "Contract of Soul" with some scribblings and your faint signature at the bottom. I would also move your logo between the feet, but not where it would be obstructed by a stomp pad. Just an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimo Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Much better. I do like Chubz idea about dressing up the new skull with a hood looking treatment. It would unify the theme of the board. Other than that... I guess the only thing this design is missing is war kittens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pebu Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 The contract idea would be pretty cool, you could even put the specs on it somehow. And I agree with the hooded skull idea. Somehow the skull and the grim reaper just never really tied together with me. It's kinda like you're trying to get too many good ideas in on one board. I can understand your excitement about the individual components of the topsheet, but a little bit says alot, especially with the images you've got goin.

Bobby Buggs Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Well I liked the board so this is the final.

How abou this, maybe the skull IS whats under the hood :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
