Title: Monster 696/1100 color therapy skins with red frame.
Post by: Scissors on March 23, 2010, 02:20:08 PM
UPDATE!  I've taken the time to create better-quality versions of the non-metallics.  See my post below for the updated pics.

I've posted this on other forums...

So I noticed that I can barely find any up-close, good quality pictures of the current Monster in "color therapy" garb.  Worse yet, I can't find any with a red frame, except for the stock red and the neutrals (black, silver, and white).  So I decided to create my own.

The following are "eh"-quality chops I did with a free paint utility, since I'm temporarily in Brazil and don't have anything better loaded on my netbook (like photoshop).  As such, I did the best I could with what I have to faithfully duplicate the actual "color therapy" colors on an 1100 with the red frame.  The non-metallics (dark blue and lavender) will, unfortunately, look metallic because the original picture that I chopped was metallic silver.  But this should give people a good idea of how well, or how bad, the various colors would look on a red-framed monster.

However, if anyone has any actual pictures of non-neutral color therapy skins with the red frame then, by all means, please post them up.

Once I'm home again, I'll work on better-quality chops.

I like the blues and reds, and the yellow and red. It's definitely different.  The orange and red looks like Virginia Tech colors, lol - hokie monster.

That scheme isn't as bad as some of the others. Paint a star on the tank and you've got Captain America. OMG...I'm such nerd.

It just doesn`t look right to me with the red frame. Its definately the black sub frame throwing it off IMO. What would it look like with the sub fram powdered red to match?

IMHO all these colours look great on a black frame, especially the orange.... but on a red frame?....Meh...
