DrunkleWade
High Hand
Long before Bobby Moynihan's drunk uncle showed up on SNL, I was working hard to rep the persona at the family holiday gatherings. So much so that my nieces and nephews would look forward to the point where Wade ended and Drunkle started.
It became a family tradition, as regular as the Christmas ham or the Australia Day BBQ. Drunkle Wade would eventually come out after a few too many and would sprout all manner of worldly advice and slightly inappropriate jokes. And so the name stuck, and even my work mates call on him when we are all away for work. He's just me, but way more uninhibited and willing to dive into the swimming pool fully clothed.
And so, for my first custom set, I think "The Drunk Uncle" will be appropriate. I started out thinking the inlay would be British Pub style design like the ones below;
But, I'm not much of an artist so I've mocked up a simple design. I'm half decent with Photoshop but ultimately, I will employ one of the quality artists in the PCF community to do a better job. The set will be a CPC purchase so bear with me as I/we workshop the colours and edge spot pattern/progression.
Feel free to critique and/or roast these.
It will be a cash set (covering micro and small stakes games) so to be totally honest the 500 and 1k chips probably won't ever be used. But, I thought I'd design them anyway, just in case I splurge on a larger set. Mold design is not fixed at the moment so I was just playing around with those. Also, I know I can mix up the spot combinations but my need for uniformity took over.
Darker colours...
Or lighter...
Looking forward to making this set a reality. Cheers.
