Hey everyone,
The urge to make up custom chips has finally gotten the best of me, so I've started thinking about what I would like for an inlay. I have always loved the Dunes chips as they were my first experience in a casino. It turns out that they are one of the sexiest chips around to this day. I believe that the mold has alot to do with it (along with my memories) so I decided to rip it off....errr, see what a full set of denominations might look like based off the actual Dunes design, only with different images on each chip.
After playing around with it for a few minutes, I noticed that "Dunes" could easily be turned into "Mikes" and that the art was very simple and stylized. I've had a difficult time keeping things simple,but i've managed a few different inlays and wanted to post them here for feedback.
I'm not fully convinced that I should go ahead with a non-original design, but there is something about them that makes me actually want to dump money into customs.
The original one is the $100 dollar chip, which is pretty much a replica of the authentic inlay, only with the name change and a mirrored, semi-transparent "reflection" onto the bottom of the chip. I'm thinking I might not want to use that one at all and just use it for inspiration.
One thing that I really want to add to them is a counterpart to the flagpole on each chip. I was thinking a windmill, a sailboat....a kite? Something centered on each sun that would break it up just like the flag does on the original..
Anyways, enough babbling..look forward to hearing some comments.
