+Ryder3 & Better Half Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Hi everybody! Better Half has designed another coin,and we wanted some opinions. The front of the coin will be 3D, and the back of the coin shows what a cacher COULD run into. Ryder3 encountered a puma while hiking on Pike's Peak,so we figured it isn't entirely impossible to see something like what is on the back. (LOL!!) Since the front will be 3D,maybe an antique or satin finish? What do you think? We hope you like it! Quote Link to comment
+SeabeckTribe Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Pretty nice. I like wild cats. But this one looks like it has horns. Are those suppost to be brows? Could be a cool lookin coin. Quote Link to comment
+DresselDragons Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 That's one angry cat! We like it! Quote Link to comment
Team Macha Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 The places where the whiskers and horns go look kinda funny...otherwise its a neat idea! Quote Link to comment
+MommyFinder Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 The places where the whiskers and horns go look kinda funny...otherwise its a neat idea! I agree, especially from the back. Maybe turn the head a little, or something, to keep the whiskers inside the outline of the head. Otherwise, way cool. My 2 cents! Quote Link to comment
+fox-and-the-hound Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 (edited) I like the idea, but have a couple thoughts on the design. I understand the guide hairs on the brow ridges of the cat's head. My little one has guides that flatten down almost to her head when she puts her ears back. You might be able to add some simple curve to them to bring them down more along the smooth curve of the coin on the left and just change the right side to a more pronounced curl (ala Homer Simpson hair). Does that make sense? If you managed to smooth the edges of the shape a bit you could add more scenery to the rear of the coin and make it look more natural. I keep seeing great ideas on one side of a coin and "floating" images on the other side because the shapes don't blend well. This is one where the unusual shape could be really utilized to create a unique image for both sides. A good example of an odd shape used very, VERY well would be the mystery Christmas coin that was shaped like a wrapped box with ribbon on one side and a perfect ammobox with snow drifts on the other. That was just inspired I don't know who came up with the design, but this coin could be one of those really outstanding coins if the back were fleshed out a bit more. My favorite coins are the ones where I just can't decide which side to face up. So again, I really like the idea and with a little tweaking it would be the difference between a "maybe I'll get it coin" and an "I absolutely have to have this coin" type coin. edit 4 to lurn 2 spell Edited January 25, 2007 by fox-and-the-hound Quote Link to comment

+9Key Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I'm allergic to cats. Quote Link to comment
+Droo Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Antique finish for sure. I'd be in for bronze and silver. My kitties can fight over which one gets which. Quote Link to comment
+chancerider Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 That would probably be a "must have" for me. Just this last week we think we were visited by a big kitty as we found his "dinner" leftovers in our horse pasture . Luckily when they've been on the property before it was just to laze about in the sun! Count me in, please. Quote Link to comment
