Hello all!
I'm happy to offer sample sets of my custom CPC 'Suited Kingdom'. This will be my first custom set and therefore my first time offering samples so if any veteran members see anything off or have advice, please help me out!
This project has been in the works for a very long time. I went in the direction of a custom Chanman table first. I continued saving money but the USD to CAD is still cringe worthy. I spent countless nights just playing with the CPC colour sample set to find combinations that I liked. My Christmas bonus this year is pretty good so I decided to bite the bullet and get them.
So without further delay, here is the sample chips I'll be offering! @p5woody designed the inlays and my felt. He is great to work with and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him!
@Ray-Col was extremely helpful and kind enough to help me and created some renders to help me visualize my set. He even rendered my table with my custom felt!
When I got my felt, I knew I didn't want a red $5 chip. I spent some time leaning towards a charcoal base and followed the mantra of PCF members here, "it's your set, do whatever you want". I really wanted a charcoal base and almost went as far as to not care that my $20 had a black base and were very similar. I even had them together on my table and I sat in all my chairs, looking at them from different angles and tried to tell myself, "who cares if you can't quite tell them apart from across the table, the edge spots will make them stand out". Finally I talked to @Toby and talked about his Black Cat set. He had a charcoal and black based chips so he was kind enough to send me pictures and advice on the dirty stack potential. Seeing the pictures was enough to sway me away from the charcoal base.
Eventually I settled on the butterscotch colour and was confident in my choice. @Ray-Col rendered a splashed pot of just butterscotch chips because even though I felt good about my colour choice, having only one butterscotch chip on my felt left me feeling slightly uneasy. No more though and I feel like these will stand out and not get lost into the felt. The bright white spot really helps but I'm going with the 'slight impurity' edge spot without the premium.
Now I was feeling 95% confident about all my colour choices. The only request I had left for Rainer was a dirty stack render. I wanted to make sure if chips got mixed up, it'll be easy to identify. So here's that render.
I can see some concerns over the quarter and $20 being mixed but I think the dayglo colours stand out quite a bit on the quarter and $20 respectively.
So there it is! I'm finally happy about every chip in the lineup and I think they are cohesive together.
Now for offering samples, I haven't done this before so I hope I don't butcher this lol. The cost of the set will be $11 USD+ shipping. I do not know what shipping will be as they will be shipped from Canada. I will take payment for chips first and then shipping once I send off the samples. I will cut off sample offering on Dec 1 @ 12 pm MST. I will accept payment through PayPal F&F. Please only include your username in the comments. My email is Mashoo15@gmail.com
