CinemaBoxers Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Hi folks.. Just a post to share the art for a coin I designed thats coming up VERY soon! While its a little different than my usual style, and a slightly different 'genre' than I normally do, I wanted to do something a little fun and playful, that was a little retro and classy at the same time. I call her "Lady Luck" - and I think shes a beaut! Shes done in a 'Pinup girl' style. Who doesn't need a little luck on their side while caching? As you can see, shes ready for anything with her camo, GPS and boots! (Shes already found the cache - she just makes it look easy.) The coin will be in translucent imitation hard enamels - with levels under the enamel to detail her hair. Her skintone will be the only regular PMS color imitation hard enamel, and the metals planned are polished gold, and black nickel. The art is back, and shes headed off to mint! She will be available in 3 regular editions, and one VERY limited edition. (Purple and black is the LE) But - there should be a 'Lady Luck' to suit anyone! Only one back is pictured in the above art. (Haircolor will match the front on each coin.) The coin is 1.75" and is trackable with its own icons. She will be available soon at our own webstore - I will post the link when the coins are ready to go in the store. A BIG thanks to Castle Man for minting this coin! I think shes going to be a lot of fun. ~P Quote
+ArtieD Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 AH! You made me a redhead! I want all these ladies...oh yes...luck never hurts! Quote
+Nochipra Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Very nice, another coin to get on our list! Our poor pocket book and wallet! Quote
+Dr. Whoever Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 I'll take the one with the dark hair please WOOT! Quote
+mrjiffy Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Love these coins. Thought I was going to cut down on some of my coin purchases, but I have to get a set of these! Quote
+intolerable Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 <intolerable quickly covers mightyzinn's eyes!> Quote
CinemaBoxers Posted October 14, 2007 Author Posted October 14, 2007 <intolerable quickly covers mightyzinn's eyes!> Oh! No worries - shes a little naughty but awfully nice! Quote
+intolerable Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 <intolerable quickly covers mightyzinn's eyes!> Oh! No worries - shes a little naughty but awfully nice! :-) This will undoubtedly be the next coin he *really* wants... And my wife might get all sorts of new ideas as to why I want to go caching everyday! Seriously though, nice coin! Quote
+UncleJimbo Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Very nice! If I can remember to check on this set, it might be my first geocoin purchase. Thanks Quote
Team Coris Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Nice job on the coins. They look great. Quote
+ArtieD Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Sweet. Yet another fantastic design. I knew I liked the shaped coins. (These have quite a nice shape btw.) Naughty or nice... this smooth design is bound to be a hit. Oh, most definately. Quote
+dardevle Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 This is one very nice lookin coin. This may just be the first one that I've seen that I have to order one of each color. Well, ok, I will at least be ordering 2 coins forsure. One for myself and one for a good caching friend of mine. Again, very nice, I really like the pin-up design with the ammo box. Quote
+derschlings Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 A MOST attractive coin. Might want to consider shipping them in a silk pouch as they're liable to melt any other carrier. Quote
+nielsenc Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Maybe the WWC Worlds Worst Cacher could hook up with Lady Luck! Quote
+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Woohoo, great looking coins and a redhead included, nice one! Quote
+Pabloturtle Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Nice looking coin. Reminds me of the old Bomber Art from WWII. Quote
+slippery_1 Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 I love pin up art and this is another reason why I love collecting G/coins...Keep me in mind CB... Quote
TheNumber1Bop Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 This is a great coin design! I'll be buying these!! Quote
+Nochipra Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 These would be cool as a mystery coin sinc they have to deal with luck. Quote
+Solan109 Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Not exactly what I wear when I go caching (Nice coin though) Quote
+mousekakat Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 What a cute coin! LOVE how her leg peeks out temptingly on the back side of the coin, hehehe! Quote
CinemaBoxers Posted October 14, 2007 Author Posted October 14, 2007 Thanks for all the positive responses - these will look so much more amazing in person with the translucent enamels, textures, etc! We are 'safely' estimating a November 8th release date on these! Quote
+BBWolf+3Pigs Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 (edited) Save me a purple one! Oops...I guess I didn't realize the Purple was LE. I'll take a redhead, then. (edited based on my lack of reading) Edited October 14, 2007 by BBWolf+3Pigs Quote
gridlox Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Very Nice! You should do a whole series of these! Reminds me of some of the pin-up art of Alberto Vargas. Strangely enough, I got interested in his work when I found out he painted the album cover, Candy-0, for The Cars! Hot Chics & Rock & Roll! Who'd guessed!! Definately put me down for a set! (How does one get on the "special" list to get a Black & Purple?) D-man Quote
+keewee Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Hot coins Will have to be taking a good hard look at them to work out which ones I should get. Quote
+wsgaskins Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 That's one mighty big ammo can! I know that I've said I can't afford many new coins these days, but heck --- maybe I'll get lucky and be able to snag one or four of these. I'm with gridlox -- how do we get onto the LE list? Just have to be quick on the draw at the shopping page when they go live? -- Scott Quote
+UncleJimbo Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Yes, how can we get in on the LE coin? That one is my favorite. Quote
CinemaBoxers Posted October 15, 2007 Author Posted October 15, 2007 Im not sure yet - the purple was in essence my AE - But, Im undecided yet. Ill keep everyone posted well ahead of time! Quote
+fairyhoney Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 Aye, Aye, Aye! Got to get a couple of these., Don't you notify by e-mail? Quote
+cstjohn Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 These look great!! I'd love to get a couple of sets!! Quote
+UncleJimbo Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 Im not sure yet - the purple was in essence my AE - But, Im undecided yet. Ill keep everyone posted well ahead of time! What does "AE" mean? (Sorry, I am new to geocoinage.) Quote
+4BOWS Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 Im not sure yet - the purple was in essence my AE - But, Im undecided yet. Ill keep everyone posted well ahead of time! What does "AE" mean? (Sorry, I am new to geocoinage.) Usually means "artist's edition", specially made for the designer to do as they please. Quote
+Hr og Fru Danmark Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 UHHHHH Hot - I like them I like them. Quote
+SecretChief Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 Of course I'd like to get lucky. Is this the first geocoin that deserve a rating ? I'd say 16+ Quote
+joefrog Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Put me down for a redheaded one -- matches my girlfriend! Woo hoo! Quote
+Shop99er Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 I'll take the one with the dark hair please WOOT! They have hair??? I gotta have the whole set!! Quote
CinemaBoxers Posted October 18, 2007 Author Posted October 18, 2007 Aye, Aye, Aye! Got to get a couple of these., Don't you notify by e-mail?

CinemaBoxers Posted October 18, 2007 Author Posted October 18, 2007 (edited) double post Edited October 18, 2007 by CinemaBoxers Quote
+ArtieD Posted October 20, 2007 Posted October 20, 2007 So...who would I have to butter up to get one of the AE's? Quote
+Frozen Buns Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 That would be me. I have started spreading the butter so watch out, would hate to have you go sliding around... Man this design makes me want to change my caching handle. I actually put all the ladies from a calendar of this style on the walls of my dads apartment he has on my property in Texas. He sure gets a lot of ribbing when friends have to relieve themselves, somtimes 3-4 times per visit LOL Love this design... Quote
CinemaBoxers Posted October 21, 2007 Author Posted October 21, 2007 That would be me. I have started spreading the butter so watch out, would hate to have you go sliding around... Well.. you have an 'in' by association if nothing else.. it helps if one is closely associated with my favorite artist. I LOVE this style of art - and, frankly, those curvy ladies of the 40's were SO much more appealing than the stick figures they call 'bombshells' today. Thanks for all the kind words! Quote
+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 When, when, when? I gotta get one of those redheads! Quote
+Bolingbrook Joe Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Just what I need, more great looking coins to add to my list. I had heard about these but had been away from the forum for a while so didn't see the photos until now. I must say, they're better looking than I was told (and I'm sure they look even better in person). Quote
+dark_onyx1982 Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 I would also like a set of these coins including the purple one if possible. Purple is my fav color and really wanted her Quote
+007BigD Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 Hey Baby!...Ya need some help gettin that Big Ole Ammocan open there sweetheart? Oh wait!!! ...I mean, excuse me miss...Your sittin on an ammocan I need to get in to. Can ya please move yourself. Um how about just...Nice Can!
