Degen Cardroom set ideas (feedback wanted) (1 Viewer)

[HeresyReznor]

Hi PCF'rs

Starting up a homegame that I'm hoping to turn into a card room one day. Since custom chips are a slow process, decided to buy cheap off the shelf chips for now and work on a custom set to be my "forever" chips for the game.

Looking at old ceramics (Jacks, Tiki) I always liked the concept but found them a bit blurry and ugly. The jacks have especially low res art with small off center denomination printing.

Working on some mockups with artists for the following them: Degenerate/Vices theme to match the "Degen" nature of the game.

These will be full art chips, as follows:

$1 White - Substance use/addiction
$5 Red - Lust/Hypersexuality
$25 Green - Greed/Money/Gambling
$100 Black - Paraphilia/fetish

I've put out the $5 chip to multiple artists to come up with a design and am picking the best one to make the whole set, including window vinyl/magnets etc.

Will post here when I get more updates, maybe put it up for a vote on which design you guys like most and help with revisions?

Sorry, unclear what feedback you are wanting? Who is going to make the custom chips? CPC, BR Pro Poker, Tina, or someone else?

How many tables do you need to cover in the home game startup phase? Cash, Tournament, or both?

Got in 2 different sketches from one artist on the $5 chip artwork. What do you think?

Cant get images to upload on here from my phone, is that normal? Here are imgur images:

Feedback on artwork, layout and coloring. I'm ok on denominations and ratios.

They're China flat face ceramics, the manufacturer who does "Tina" chips (and thus also Justins) was dismissive so went with samples from 3 other factories.

Here is one from the 2nd artist, she didnt just sketch but did the whole chip. Here are a couple revisions:

Interesting both artists went with the demon idea.
Definitely A for me. More originality.
B looks too AI. Plus the boobs are too small.

So a full print job is going to be ceramics, I would go with BRPro.

That said the printers are only so accurate, you might not get the accuracy you are looking for, your art is too detailed.

As far as theme feedback, you're not too far off from Hardcandy.

What size chip are you putting this design on? You may get a little more space with a 43mm over a 39mm. I also like the first design as it looks more original. Another vote for BRPro.

I'd prefer 39mm and using 43 for larger denominations/specialty buttons, but will get samples in both sizes.

I'm on a budget, not paying $1+ usd a chip. Most cardrooms are using milanos with stickers in the middle, think I'll survive.

Well ceramics are an open book and you are using that to test something well done!

I would say design number 2 has potential to be more gamified nice look of temptation than number 1, you are in uncharted water with this theme and it is most important is that you pick what you like the most.

The style is something you must choose, gameified vs anime/manga look are two different styles.
