New player tribute design in the works. Need some help with a name. Please :) (2 Viewers)

You've seen my earlier comments, so you know I LOVE this concept. But I have to say, I think the Rousso art needs a little work. Honestly, it looks more like a man with long hair. She's definitely more attractive than she's shown in that drawing. I don't really know her that well, and I know caricatures are supposed to be exaggerations. But after reviewing a few pics on Google, I think I would have the chin and nose tweaked. Her's are nowhere near that bad. Just my 2 cents.
For sure.. Let me see what I can do :)

Looks like this may have been the photo she was working off of.

If you make these and offer samples I need a set or at least one of those Hellmuth 100's for one of my players who thinks he is Hellmuth. :LOL: :laugh:

I agree that vanessa is gorgeous and that caricature is not. But fair's fair - if he has to stick with danny in the blue glasses, he has to stick with a manly Vanessa.

Going to try some changes for Vanessa... See if we can sweeten things up a bit ;) Daniels Blue glasses were the best.... I am having him done without them as well. See what looks best....
 
I'm just needling the other guy. Go with what you like - these are cool.
I love all the input and help here and I would like to give back wherever I can.. This set being designed really needs to be shared with anyone that would like some. I will probably have 10 players done up and we can then pick and choose who would want who and qtys for a nice big group buy :) I know I will be getting my own full set done for sure and will love playing with them and all my friends :) I love the feedback and want to get this right the first time ;)

Thanks again
 
Couple of small updates. A few fixes on two of the characters and a small peak at one of the 4 new ones coming aboard (still in rough stage). The new ones are looking awesome and should be done by the end of the weekend. We are working on colours, denoms, and finalizing layout of the chips. Getting closer, looking awesome.

Things are coming along great. We are starting to get the colors and layout down. I’m wanting bright colors if possible and these are doing just that :). Should have the remainder characters ready this weekend and then we can start to add them in as well. As always your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Any particular reason you've gone for the 50K rather than a 100K?
 
Oh man, this will instantly be among the best of all time chip designs! I totally overwhelmed and in love with the idea and espacialy the quality of the scetches..

Negreanu, Ivey, Hellmuth, Nguyen and Doyle I would think should be 100% in this set up... Talking about Legends: I aint read every post, but what about Stu Unger??? And maybe Sam Farha and Gus Hanson are worthy as well when talking about Legends. .

As someone recommend "not to offer a goup buy"... I aint sure about it .. I understand the "personal" idea, but on the other site this set will be so above and beyond that it would be a pity if no one else couldn't appreciate the perfection by being able to buy it...

That was me, and I wasn't understanding the whole purpose at first. I thought he was doing a personal set on CPC and I think part of why I thought that was because he had a chip of his own caricature. Also he liked using certain players and others were criticizing some of his choices, so I said make the set your own and not to worry what others think.

Now that I understand what he is doing, I agree completely with the group buy.
 
I see ... :) and its really not an easy decission... I mean, there should also be some thoughts about the Personal rights of the Legends themselves when using their faces for such a Set... :p
 
I am one that likes to share. Always have been :). I want to make this something that everyone can enjoy. The plan is to finish up the characters that I have picked and then everyone can decide as to what denom and character they would want and we can make a “set” to your liking :). Make sense? I am sure everyone does not want me on a chip for their set ;) (by all means though please do). So I am trying to make it as customizable as possible with trying to keep it kinda similar???

Should be a good plan. Are you thinking that some denominations will have two options for which face is on them? I'm sure most will want some of the biggies, so shouldn't be necessary to have options for every denom. Looking forward to seeing the final lineup!

Thinking here are the designed chips with denoms on them and you will be able to pick what character you would like to put on it (from what has been designed)

Just putting this out there. You can obviously do this however you want to, but allowing participants total freedom to put any denomination on any character is going to be a major PITA to you, and to the maker of the chips. More power to you if you are okay with tackling that, but as someone who has run a couple of large GBs myself, it sounds like a recipe for disaster to me. I'll be genuinely impressed if everything gets ordered, made and delivered correctly...

No no. Not that. We will have say 8 Chips done and they will have the denom and colours already finished. All you can do is put the character of your choice in the centre. Maybe someone wants Hellmuth on 100 instead of the 500.

I think somewhere along the line I missed who was producing these chips. I was thinking they were going to be printed ceramics. So these chips will have a recessed center and a sticker label in the center? So who is producing them?
