Limited Run Dishonored Coin of 10

[The Schlitzie]

Alright, I've been working with a few coin makers (ones that communicate) and it looks like I will have to sell these at $20 each with the face sculpted which is the best way to go. Also I will have to get ones interested in around 35 coins total before I pull the trigger and front the funds to have these made.

Bear in mind that these are expensive to have made the right way as solid metal coins with an antiqued gold and silver finish and 3d sculpting.

If ones are still interested, let me know how many you would be interested in at that price point.

I should have an example of exactly what the coin will look like with the face sculpted in the next few days (We've had a couple revisions, I want them as close as possible to the in game model and artwork).

So, you need more people / more coins.

 

[The Schlitzie]

Yeah basically. I have to wait for more interested till I front my funds to the coin maker, otherwise I might lose my butt.

So, you need more people / more coins.

If you can get a sample in that might attract more buyers, though most people on this board haven't experienced the awesomeness of this game and its world so maybe you can set up an interest list on other forums to get the numbers. Thats what I did with my Blade Runner card run. Maybe try a gaming collectibles forum etc. I might be in for one or two more.

Hmm, I'll have to ask around and see what some good forums are for this sort of thing. I agree, a sample would be nice.

EDIT: Here's the latest proof of the coin from a challenge coin maker

Looks Great.

 

[Mike J.]

New mock-up looks real nice.

 

[The Schlitzie]

Thanks Mike. I wish the minimum order on things like this were lower though, hehe.

Oh well, I'll give it some time and search around for some other forums so that I can get others aware that this is going on.

New mock-up looks real nice.

Good luck

Looks good, though there are a few areas of the sculpted bust that may need tweaking to make more sense. I'll work up an edit tonight of the image to show what I mean.

 

[The Schlitzie]

Sounds good! :thumbsup

Here's one I edited. The shapes are much more simplified and looking more like his collar. Also the bottom left corner was actually a scratch that got worked in to the bust, so I took that out. The initial image looked more drawn then sculpted. I think for this to look right the bust needs to be sculpted in 3d and not from a line drawn file. Just my 2 cents

 

[The Schlitzie]

That looks great!

Yeah, I would have liked to start from scratch sculpting it, but everyone I pitched it to wanted a line drawn file to sculpt on :unsure. Do you mind if I show them that? I also noticed that the border around the silver edge isn't on the actual coin. I'm not sure if they need that for the dual plating to work or not. If not I'll get it removed.

Sure use it as you like Actually the black border around the head bust is probably too thick also. So are they going to make an actual 3d sculpt based on the line?

 

[The Schlitzie]

Cool, we'll see what it looks like with the revisions. Yes they will be making the bust a 3d sculpt. I just think It would look cheesy if it wasn't. The rest will just be raised/ recessed etc.

Sign me up for five if that helps bring up your numbers
I'll also ask some fellow Dishonored addicts if they are interested. Like someone else said some people have never experienced the utter level of awesome of this game.... but those who have seem to be utterly obsessed!

 

[The Schlitzie]

Awesome!

I emailed them last night about possibly me paying the mold fees etc. and then just a half order. If they'll go for it i'll place my order right away. I will just break even on costs, but it was never about making a buck I just reallllly wanted to get these made and have a few to display and give others a chance to have some as well.

I also received my new mock-up and it looks almost identical to BeastMaster's one. woohoo!

Cool! Look forward to seeing it all come together

You can bring my order up to 7 Two friends want in but they aren't RPF users so I'll add them into my order if you're cool with that.

 

[The Schlitzie]

Oh me too, hehe!

I got half the spots filled for the order as of today so, when I get home from work today, I will place my order and get the ball rolling! Exciting! :cool
