New player tribute design in the works. Need some help with a name. Please :) (2 Viewers)

[Dezmond]

Hey everyone. So while I wait for my Batman design to get made, we are starting the second set that I wanted. It is going to be a tribute to some of the poker players that I have enjoyed watching over the years. Some celebrities as well. I’m having a hard time on a name for the set. I don’t want to call it hall of fame. Need something more fun.

And here is a little sample of one of the players that will be on there

"The Apex Predators" In honour of the image Phil has of himself

Yes she is. Been working with her for the last 5 years. I needed myself done for my branding when I started my business and she did such an awesome job. I have referred her name many times. Soooooo of course I will be on one of the chips as well . This is me

There are 4 more characters still to reveal. Two are my top 2 and two are celebs/players

Very impressive art. What program do you use for this?

Very impressive art. What program do you use for this?

Combination of both photoshop and illustrator and a graphics tablet.

So there is this funny guy that likes to play with the poker stars and he once bluffed Negreanu and was soooooooo excited that he did that...

Not sure where to use him yet.. A denom or maybe a bounty or all in???

 

[svickn]

Love all of these designs, can't wait to see them on chips!

 

[Dezmond]

Anyone know who this fellow is?????


GET ON YOUR BIKE!

He was the hardest to draw. More to come as well as first round of chip design

Hahahahhahahaha. Ya that was an amazing game

 

[Dezmond]

A fun lady to watch against some of the stars.



Not intimidated at all.

 

[svickn]

The more I see the more I hope this becomes a group buy of some sort!

 

[Dezmond]

Me too

If it does get enough interest, I will plan to offer a custom chip for each person that would like to have their character done instead of mine if they wish. At the cost of the design work .

 

[Dezmond]

Ok ok I can’t wait any longer. Here is my fav. Been around for a long time and pretty awesome (and Canadian)!!!!!!

I am thinking we will have some chip designs shortly for everyone to check out and provide feedback . I have no problem turning this into a group buy if a bunch of you want in. We can all make this an amazing set.

This guy has been in poker for like 30 years, and he wore the blue glasses for like a year or two. And he's since had the surgery and doesn't wear glasses anymore. So you might want to reconsider that specific design.
I'm not going to kid either of us and say that I'm likely to jump in on a group buy for these, but I love these drawings and I love these players, so anything is possible. Safe to assume that a set would be playable without the chip with your picture on it? No offense of course.

Hey. Thanks for the feedback. And yes you can play without me . We can figure that out if this turns into a group buy.

 

[aych]

Please tell me Scotty Nguyen is next!

You've got a lot of your own sweat and blood in this. If I were you, I'd keep it personal, rather than a group buy. Definitely get extras and sell sample sets, but if I had put together something this personal, I wouldn't want others to have a full playable set.

Also, if you want Negreanu wearing the blue glasses, you should keep him that way. Don't let someone talk you out of it. It's YOUR set.

So it seems I also have an idea in the back of my head for a future set that has real people on it. I absolutely LOVE these caricatures. I may be contacting you to get your artist's name and contact one of these days.

 

[nauseant]

Based on the players drawn so far I'm going to predict the next one is either Phil laak, Antonio esfandiari or Mike Matusow

 

[BGinGA]

Stu Unger ftw. Any player that Doyle gushes about makes the grade in my book. He makes for an iconic drawing, too.

If going with only well-known pros, I like "Hall of Famers". But "Legends of the Felt" presents very well.

Thanks for the feedback. I always liked his glasses.. I am going to have him drawn without and see how it looks. I don't mind sharing my work with the group here. I would just hope we could do a group buy to help get the prices down and help everyone out. Hey by all means, if you want to throw me a donation for the artwork, I'm not going to say no

It's a lot of fun to create these and I am always open for feedback to make things better or steer me back in the right direction if I am falling off or anything.. I am new and still learning
