Full custom ceramic - HypnoFox (2 Viewers)

[vulp]

Hi all!

I am working on my first full custom ceramic set, called HypnoFox. This is the first version.

I wanted a fox theme, standard colors, simplicity and some progression.

I am planning to order from pokershop.de.
Not sure if the edge spot spacing is perfect - can they make them align perfectly?

Will the contrast on the 25s and 500s be enough?
I guess I will get some sample prints before finalizing anything.

Any feedback is appreciated!

Thanks!

I don't like the contrast on the 500 but other than that, I like it, the spacing for the tail is likely fine

Think the progression with the border is a super neat choice

Added more contrast as suggested

I would personally go with a brighter purple or maybe a pink for the 500… depending on lighting the 100 and 500 could get dirty together. Maybe something like this?

Made the T500 lighter and added some scratchmarks so "more things are going on", especially on the T25
But I'm not 100% sure about the marks.

 

[chipinla]

I think that will work much better

Yes, I know that project and it's a big inspiration, along with The Ice Cardroom!
Thanks!

Just some other ideas:

For progression:
25 - one circle
100 - two circles
500 - bold outside circle, small inside circle
1000 - bold outside circle, small inside circle, add small dashes
5000 - bold the outside circle and everything else remains the same

5000 to have red eyes

I feel like the green side design should have shapes instead of 25 to match the theme of the others

Didn't like the name HypnoFox, so changed it to Mindgame and added some poker mindgame concepts to the chips.
Feels a bit cheesy, I will sleep on it - although I think it's ironic that the "limping chip" has Fundamentals on it

Faces:
I have dropped the scratches. The progression on each chip is now shown in white.

@mr11
I like that the T25 starts with 0 circles. My original goal was to keep it simple.
I have tried red eyes on T5000, feels like it breaks the "crazy empty anime villain eyes" of the theme
Love the small dashes on T1000, cool tip.

Edges:
Still not sure what I want, so I tried this "dirty stack text". Feels like it brings the individual concepts together.

The number of possibilities is getting overwhelming!!

Thanks for the feedback everyone, you guys are great!

No. Will not look good when they are sorted.

Doesn’t matter what you name them, they will be “those fox chips”

Honestly you will have people play like 5-6 games with them before they even realize there is a fox on them.

I think you’ll spend a lot of time lining up the dirty stack but biggest thing is for you to like it haha

For me, I'd be looking for more colour contrast within chips.

T1000 is great, blue on yellow
T5000 is great, red on white

but

T25 darker green on lighter green
T100 grey on black
T500 darker purple on lighter purple

doesn't work so well IMHO

Maybe try

T25 bright orange on lighter green
T100 white or light blue on black
T500 light brown on medium purple

or something like that
