This inquiry is separate and distinct from the one below related to the ceramic currency based set. That set is still in its infancy stages, the issue I have below is a little more pressing.
I had placed an order for some solid clay chips with inlay from Classic Poker Chips, and if I am going to be part of the next rotation for the FDL mold they really need my artwork by this coming Wednesday. This is going to be a cash set, .25/$1/$5/$25 denominations. The colors I selected for the chips are Canary, light chocolate, black and gray. I do not desire the change the colors of the chips. I believe I want to use the largest labels that I can fit on the mold, but am open to suggestions. This is not my first set of chips from Classic Poker Chips.
The theme for my chips will be the dogs that we have (and had) in my home. We presently have three dogs: a Newfoundland (all Black); a rescued Australian cattle dog (see avatar, he doesn't leave my side, and is staring at me as I type this); and a Bassett Hound (tri-color; black blanket back). We recently had to put down a very loyal companion that was a rescued mixed breed, and I hope to honor him on the fourth chip of the set. Each time a new player comes to the home, they marvel at the number of dogs (and the size of the Newf). Photos of the dogs are attached below. Would like the name of my town included on the face of the chip, Statesville, NC.
Originally, I had planned on using actual photos of profiles of the dogs on the chips, but the more I nose around on here the more I am leaning away from photographic images and towards graphic representations of images. I have no artistic ability. I had a friend planning on doing some mock ups for me this weekend when he returned from vacation, but he just sent me an email telling me that he had concerns about his ability to put together what I was looking for in a timely manner. He is somewhat of a perfectionist, and I do not want to cause him unnecessary stress with an impending deadline if I can avoid it. If I can't make the Wednesday deadline, then I cant.
It was suggested in my other inquiry/thread that I might receive assistance with design from the forum I asked for it, so I am asking. Any guidance I can get would be very much appreciated.
Personal information if that would help with the design: Married for 25 years, 4 kids, 8 years in Marine Corps.(enlisted) a lifetime ago (90-98), BBQ enthusiast (have a team that does 4-5 competitions per year), big Carolina Panthers fan.
Thank you in advance for any assistance/advice/guidance that can be offered.
