New Design: Area 51 (1 Viewer)

[BigGrizz]

So I'm moving on to my second project. Area 51 seems like an obvious design. I'm starting with the inlay first and foremost this time. So please, tell me what you think.

The denominations would go on the alien's forehead. Any feedback is welcome. This set wont be complete for a while so there is a ton of time for revision. I also thought of maybe changing the alien's eyes to different colors based on denomination.

As for spots, I have thought about only a little. I've only thought of something more futuristic than typical paulson spots or combining preexisting spots to kind of mimic a UFO theme. Like the 6x1/8 spots on AS tournament combined with a large single edgespot on bottom. That would symbolize flashing lights and a beam coming down from a UFO. Open to suggestions of course.

Love the idea and design!
My only thoughts were that the Area 51 type may be a bit small, and that the space needed for a denom might not be enough, especially when reduced down to label size. I had a thought, that the entire head may not be needed. Changing the sizing and cropping will increase the space to make the Area 51 type and denom larger. It also makes it spookier?

Yes! That's an awesome idea! How do you do that so rapidly? Are you like an adobe illustrator wizard or something? Do you do this professionally?

Just a combo of Illustrator and Photoshop. I've been using Photoshop since 1.0
