Did you read the other thread? That list is awefully familiar... lolI’ve been working on several new chip design concepts over the last couple of nights, and they’ll be available soon for the community.
Sets include:
• Pirate’s Crest
• Excalibur
• Isle of Fire
• Eye of the Nile
• Rick’s Café Américain

Wow! These look great!! A lot of people order 5K and 25K in their tourney sets if you have somehting for thoseThis is the first design in a series I’ve been working on, and I’m calling this one Eye of the Nile. The artwork is built with Tina’s hybrid ceramic mold in mind, but it can also be ordered as standard no-mold ceramics if that’s your preference.
Right now, this is the start of a tournament lineup, but I can easily add more denominations if anyone wants to expand it into a full set.
If anyone is interested in using this design, feel free to reach out — I’m more than happy to help customize it for your needs. I’m also planning on sending the artwork to @justincarothers so it can be available in a future group buy for anyone who wants to jump in once production opens.
More to come soon — this is just the beginning of the series.

Really cool design, but this symmetrical eye of horus looks a bit odd to me. The eyebrow in particular is disturbing and looks more like a roof to me.This is the first design in a series I’ve been working on, and I’m calling this one Eye of the Nile.

I kind of feel like the eye of Ra should be the centerpiece since the set is Eye of the Nile and have the scarabs as ornaments. My 2 cents.This is the first design in a series I’ve been working on, and I’m calling this one Eye of the Nile.

Both good feedback! Like I said, not fully complete but I’ll work on it more tonight and over the weekend and will more than likely have a finalized version then.I kind of feel like the eye of Ra should be the centerpiece since the set is Eye of the Nile and have the scarabs as ornaments.

Excalibur – Design Notes
This one actually came from a list that BigGrizz put together, and once I saw “Excalibur” on there I just went full force with it. I wanted something that felt medieval without drifting into cartoon territory, so the sword + crown + laurel wreath combo ended up being the sweet spot. The wreath gives it that knightly “honor and valor” feel, the crown ties in the royal theme, and the sword anchors the whole Arthurian identity.
The color choices follow that classic medieval palette — deep reds, royal purples, stone grays, golds — all meant to hit clean and bold on hybrid ceramics. It’s simple, strong, and instantly readable on a table.

Isle of Fire – Design Notes
Another one from the list that BigGrizz tossed out there, and the second I started doodling volcano shapes it basically designed itself. I really wanted this one to feel warm, explosive, and atmospheric without going overboard, so the inlay leans into that glowing eruption at sunset — clouds, ash, lava, all blending into a warm gradient.
Chip colors were chosen straight from volcanic island elements: molten orange, cooled basalt, deep ocean blues, volcanic soil browns, ash grays, and that bright glow that pops right before the lava breaks through. It all works super well on hybrid ceramic chips, which let the artwork keep the texture and depth.

And yes… there are more from that list that I’m working on.![]()
Are you taking new work still?I'm not sure how many of you guys know that I'm a graphic designer. I've been working at Spinettis for close to 7 years now, 3-4 of those now as our Graphic Designer. On top of that I just recently graduated with my bachelor's from UNLV with a degree in Graphic Design and Media.
I've help quite a few people on here with some designs before, but more so over the last few weeks a bit more.
I know that CPC just announced some major news which I'm seeing a ton of people getting ready to order sets, some new and some re-orders. With that in mind, I'm ready to help you guys out if you need help with inlays designs, designing a whole lineup of chips or whatever it may be. I've done plenty of Tina orders in the last year too so I'm very familiar with that as well.
If you guys would like to work with me, please PM me with information regarding your design and anything else that would help me out!!
I'll post some previous designs below here later tonight when I get home and I'm able to pull some files.
Look forward to working with you!

Always!Are you taking new work still?
Can’t figure out how to DM you…Always!
