Hey everyone. So while I wait for my Batman design to get made, we are starting the second set that I wanted. It is going to be a tribute to some of the poker players that I have enjoyed watching over the years. Some celebrities as well. I’m having a hard time on a name for the set. I don’t want to call it hall of fame. Need something more fun.

And here is a little sample of one of the players that will be on there :)

Yes she is. Been working with her for the last 5 years. I needed myself done for my branding when I started my business and she did such an awesome job. I have referred her name many times. Soooooo of course I will be on one of the chips as well ;). This is me :)

There are 4 more characters still to reveal. Two are my top 2 and two are celebs/players

I am thinking we will have some chip designs shortly for everyone to check out and provide feedback :). I have no problem turning this into a group buy if a bunch of you want in. We can all make this an amazing set.

This guy has been in poker for like 30 years, and he wore the blue glasses for like a year or two. And he's since had the surgery and doesn't wear glasses anymore. So you might want to reconsider that specific design.
I'm not going to kid either of us and say that I'm likely to jump in on a group buy for these, but I love these drawings and I love these players, so anything is possible. Safe to assume that a set would be playable without the chip with your picture on it? No offense of course.

Hey. Thanks for the feedback. And yes you can play without me ;). We can figure that out if this turns into a group buy.

You've got a lot of your own sweat and blood in this. If I were you, I'd keep it personal, rather than a group buy. Definitely get extras and sell sample sets, but if I had put together something this personal, I wouldn't want others to have a full playable set.

Also, if you want Negreanu wearing the blue glasses, you should keep him that way. Don't let someone talk you out of it. It's YOUR set.

So it seems I also have an idea in the back of my head for a future set that has real people on it. I absolutely LOVE these caricatures. I may be contacting you to get your artist's name and contact one of these days.
 
Stu Unger ftw. Any player that Doyle gushes about makes the grade in my book. He makes for an iconic drawing, too.

If going with only well-known pros, I like "Hall of Famers". But "Legends of the Felt" presents very well.

Thanks for the feedback. I always liked his glasses.. I am going to have him drawn without and see how it looks. I don't mind sharing my work with the group here. I would just hope we could do a group buy to help get the prices down and help everyone out. Hey by all means, if you want to throw me a donation for the artwork, I'm not going to say no ;)

It's a lot of fun to create these and I am always open for feedback to make things better or steer me back in the right direction if I am falling off or anything.. I am new and still learning :)
