"Outdoor Scenes" first custom set, BR Pro (2 Viewers)

[rnelsonee]

I wanted to put up my first custom set — BR Pro order of 1,000 chips. I kept small multiples as we play small stakes, and there's no way we'd use larger denoms if I did 1-5-25-100. My 1-2-5 chips handle LB's, BB's, and raises. It works great for up to 10 people at, say $20 buy-in, 20¢ BB. The 20 chips handle twenty rebuys. The 50 and 100 are if I do a small tourney, and I just wanted more art in there anyway.

Artwork done by an artist found online (in Ukraine, no less), featuring fun times spent outside with friends. I was all primed up for CPC, but after seeing the artwork, I knew I wanted a modern style. So as great as CPC is, it's a bit old-fashioned for that clean look. So off to a redesign with BR Pro, and I could get 1,000 chips at half the cost of 600 CPC's… and in <1 month. Cost was $830 (BR Pro) + $414 (art, including tip + fees).

Art is Maryland activities all the way - eating crabs, sailing in Baltimore, tailgating at U of MD games, playing kickball, renting beach houses, and running along the lakes of Columbia.

The cards hopefully cut down on the "How much are the blues worth again?". For those 10¢ games and such, I have a cheat sheet for each denomination (obverse) for the small blind value (reverse). Just a fun thing. I also have a pic with my old set of 2,200+ dice chips, with custom stickers.

Thanks to all who post advice and other pics! This was super fun to work on.

Nice to see more pics than last time you posted. I like the design. Kind of unique. At least I didn't see something like this here before on PCF. Ceramics was the way to go with the design. Can't visualize this on a CPC set. You wrote that you wanted a mordern style. But I think they have a classic touch too.

Haha, sorry, I legit forgot I posted this back when I first got the set; I thought I didn't have enough posts for my own thread to go through. Glad I could at least get better pics!

And yeah, ceramics let you do anything with the face, but I still like the idea of a big ring of color, and having both sides look the same, so there's some sense of a classic chip in there. The Tiki samples look fantastic, but that modern design makes me think of playthings vs poker chips.

My playgroup is similar. I just made my first post trying to get the design down and go through BR Pro. I like how yours turned out for sure.

Really enjoying the landscape scenes, especially the $2. The inlay ring and the minimal text makes for a very pleasant chip.

Which artist did you work with?

Great looking chips! I hope you are enjoying them.

From the photos it looks like base colors of the 2 and 50, and the 2 and the 100 have enough contrast to tell them apart fairly easily. Is that the case for you?
