IOC KC Tribute Set (7 Viewers)

[Booshme]

Hey guys, I wanted to share my latest project. My plan is to get 43mm Web Mold Tinas, way more affordable than a Paulson set of IOC KCs, with the added benefit that I can customize my own 20, 25, and 100 chips. I never thought the 25 and 100 chips in the set matched the vibe, so I leaned hard into the tropical / jungle feel of the rest of the chips and came up with this.
The hundos were inspired by those bright and poisonous frogs, and I chose to design both 20 and 25 chips because clearly MOAR chips is the way to go. The label is mine, and when I'm ready I'll reach out to @Okku to see if he can help tighten things up and get them in the right file format. I chose the name Isla Bella today while listening to a song of the same name by Ricky Martin, it means beautiful island. I know there are some that say just copying a design exactly as is should not be done, but I'm happy enough with my work and my designs on the 20s - 100 to feel truly inspired, with a set that has cohesion and has, IMO, a more faithful adherence to the theme. What do you guys think? I'm really happy with them. I'd like to make the whites in the labels larger, to fill more space, and have the inlays be of different shapes, but that's not a big priority at all.

Yeah, you knocked it out the park with this one. The colorways are fantastic.

Beautiful.
Only one problem: shaped inlays.

I want them in different shapes tbh, but I could only do so much. I’ve got a trusted designer in Okku though who’s helped me already with last work. The biggest step has been accomplished!

Thank you guys. My dream set had the empress star 20s and 25s, but the colors just didn’t match as neatly as I’d like. The 20 especially was a huge inspiration and really caught my eye, and the rest of the set came together way more balanced than I expected. It might be a few months until it’s fully ready and I place the order, I’ll be so excited once I do, though

Nice job on the lineup overall

On the $25 chip, I’d like to see some contrasting edge spot colors that the other chips have—the varying shades of green might not print to your liking

Thank you very much! I will play with it some more

I like the smaller inlays, so long as you can get the color matching right between the edge of the label and the chip.

Agree on the $25, one contrasting edge spot might be the ticket.

I also love the IOC’s!

Thank you guys, do you think this is enough to help with the printing??

Try a shade of white or gray in place of the lightest green spot in the Chipmatic tool: that will hopefully differentiate it more from the $20 and the $100
