I want Dennis Anderson Polished/Emerald Irridium Juliets....

nice one pander, I used that technique for the other rubies I've made, then came across a method using Corel photopaint (its a preference thing but I prefer it to photoshop) I lay down an orange colour first in the lens shape then clone the shape and render it using a red light source with ambient purple (to get that subtle purpley/red play in the colour) then feather the edges so it fades out to the orange lens underneath to represent the colour gradients you get with the real thing, I'm working on perfecting it though

I use Photoshop to do all those things... I just select the entire lens and play a little with the contrast and the color adjustments and color balance (shadows, midtones and highlights) until I get the preferred color I want, that way the nosepads will stay there and also get the same color effects.

its a shame they cant make lenses THAT red its looks better than ruby imho and works especially well with the carbon frames, have a look on the thread for the romeo2's I made, they look nice with that shade red

It's more like Ruby Quartz...

aloha whores...something like this?

Close. But a darker red. Much darker.

how about this then?

Pretty nice! =)

ooooh thought I'd take my cue from panders excellent carbon romeo idea and this looks mean...my "black ops" pennys with some lens etching too for good measure

A pair of SI Penny's, sounds good to me!

lol sponsored by humvee, all credit to you Pander, I never even considered carbon for pennys before I saw the great job you did on the romeos

That gave me a idea:

SI X-Metal XX Carbon - G26 for shooting:

that gave me another idea...brace yourselves....









THE NIGHT-VISION PENNY
(now hows THAT for "tactical gear"?) lol

i believe they make that already saw a pair at the vault store last week. lol,

that'll be the ultimate way of wearing your O's at night and NOT be called a PW lol

There was a M-frame customised for use in operating rooms. Those were normal M-frames with a clear lens and a magnifying glass suspended on the nosebridge...

both frames are white chrome. with violet or emerald flames.

hope you like it, am just getting started,

Oh hot damn...I seriously want a pair of those Black Ops Penny!

light blue with differnet lens combos

H.I. Laser Toric



H.I. Clear

whoah those are nice Oliver! Especially the laser toric, I designed these to go with my "black ops" theme...





personally I prefer the urban camo one as you can see parts of the unpainted titanium underneath

and now Cyclops isnt the only marvel superhero to have his own custom pennys...

As horrendous as that would look in real life, I have to say I'm impressed, Dorian! ::LOL::

Funny how you guys are coming up with a gazillion ideas for a model that's not even in production anymore...

Perosnally, I love the Penny over any other model. And not just because it was my first pair. I think it embodies everything Oakley was, before the Lifestyle change.

- Unique, agressive design
- Innovative creation process
- High quality materials for both lens and frame
- Impressive price point despite high production cost
- Overall sense of "most badass sunglasses in the world"
