Minimalist Tina no mold design drafts (1 Viewer)

[dylanthepiguy2]

Started drafting up some gemstone and some plain chip ideas I had

I think I'll end up tweaking the gemstone colours, but what I'm stumped with what to do with the edge spots? Currently, there basically solid and I'm out of ideas. White sparkle marks or something?

What do people think of these plain ones? Too boring? Edge spots too pink?

 

[NotRealNameNoSir]

I think the beauty of ceramics is how customizable and creative we can be, I don't think solids are a good use of the platform. Plus no-molds have a much higher chance of becoming spinners and not stacking well. Whatever makes you happy is what you should buy but I'd advise against these.

The edges all look pretty similar to me.

Looks interesting on a screen but not in reality.

How do you know this?

 

[allforcharity]

Ceramics allow unprecedented custom full face printing. Use it.

How do you know this?

I obviosly dont know. I can only imagine based on very simple design/ ceramic solids that I saw and I didnt like.
How ever its all personal preference.

 

[dylanthepiguy2]

Well i got inspired by world top hat and cane 1, and I decided to make it EVEN MORE DIFFERENT ON A SCREEN
man i need paulsons to make custom chips

[dylanthepiguy2]

okay, after many more design iterations i've come up with these guys. i liked the minimalist designs with edge spots, but didnt have enough detail on the face. i liked the crystals but couldn't figure out a sensible way of including edge spots

havent done the edge strips yet as it takes a long time to measure everything and calculate the segment lengths,

not sure what to call it though. ive got some ideas here (i'm not using the lighter blue anymore but thats what i was using for the name brainstorm), but open to ideas here. and i feel like i need to refine whatever idea i pick

Are you just sharing your stuff or looking for opinions?

 

[dylanthepiguy2]

Both!

I don’t think the fidelity of the printing on Tina’s chips will show the slight variations of color on those chips. The final printed chip will likely look all one color, or one of the lighter geometric sections will print much lighter than the surrounding colors.
I just think getting a smooth gradation of colors values may be difficult with Tina chips.

I like where this is going and how you incorporated some of the egdespots, but Colquhoun might be right that the colorvariation of the base color might be too little of a difference to see it IRL. You could try to increase or decrease the brilliance of the facecolors to have a bigger change and variation (like pictured below on the outer rim of the gemstones. The inner octagon is IMO too translucent)

This. It looks really nice on screen but will likely not print well enough for you to even tell the colors apart.

 

[BadCardHaver]

I can't speak to how the color gradients will actually look printed, but I like the revised design. Unique, clean and classy.

oh yeah, there's no question about it, I love the design overall, very unique.

For some reason this reminds me of Neon Nights

hmm okay so i found this pic on tina's alibaba page (i think?).

HOLY FK THEY CAN DO GRADIENTS, WHAT :O :O :O

maybe my designs are gonna be okay after all.
not sure if the gradients still look good between two highish saturated colours tho,

Look at posts 1 and 55 in this thread:

Shows the color wheels as designed and produced, to give you a sense of what to expect.

 

[Okku]

Honestly when it comes to making custom ceramic chips, you can basically do whatever you see on screen.

This is something that I made the other week just messing around and doing some testing.

I was about to say.. you‘re in awe that they can print gradients? Wait until you find out that they‘ll print butt cheeks on those chips if you design them that way haha

 

[dylanthepiguy2]

From the sounds of the other feedback in this thread I was assuming gradients were going to look “stepped” rather than smooth

 

[Cratty]

Gradients will always look relatively fine if spanning a large range of shades and/or colors, but Tina absolutely does struggle with printing certain colors and shade ranges vs others. Too difficult to predict if or where your chips may or may not be challenged, but I would expect that some of your shades will look too close to each other and others will look more separated than you intended. But only way to really know is to try!

The chips look fun. Good luck!

In for a sample

Any design and printer worth its salt can produce smooth gradients. I got a ceramic set made by BR Pro back in 2013 with very nice gradient printing.

Just coming back to working on these
i'm struggling on a name - anyone got any preferences here ?

icon might have to change depending on name

ive also gotta reduce the neon-ness of the purple as its outside cmyk, but anyways...

The Emerald Kingdom looks and sounds the best to me, but emeralds are green...

Hearts and Diamonds Casino could be another name but its quite long

I love your original concept, it's a fantastic way of creativity using the ceramic chip options. Do you need a name? I personally don't like the 'my fake card room ' thing and I don't think it suits your design. Maybe the demons could be expressed as words as well, if you want text?

this design must belong to @Marhault
I like it - great ceramic design

I’m open to ideas. It has been hard to make a name look great and sound great.
Thanks, I’ll try it around with number text and see what I get!

thanks! And nope
