Hey Chuck, no need to hurry: Haste makes waste... :unsure:

Autumn has not yet begun and Winter will last long enough... :rolleyes:

 

Btw: I guess Mucha hasn´t painted all his seasonal drawings, each within the according season... :)

 

So take it easy and be assured that Melanie and I will happily buy your Autumn coins, even if they came out in winter! :D

 

Kind regards,

Udo

Here's a first look at the Autumn design!

 

I went with a different style on the back devoting the centre to a 3d art nouveau moon in keeping with the harvest theme of the season. The leaf elements of the outer design could also make it look like a sunflower too.

Sometimes you have to be a little patient before coins arrive. They where send on august 25 and arrived today october 12, so they took almost 7 weeks to get here. Maybe I should get them myself next time :lol:

But it was worth waiting for. Thanks for the sevice Chuck, they look great.

The Czech Republic was just one day earlier. I have almost given up. Thanks for a very reasonable price declaration. It saved me a lot of money (for autumn and winter versions, of course).

That was quite a wait! Surface shipping to Europe is supposed to take 4 - 6 weeks, but that doesn't include time in customs if it gets held up. :(

I think they're the best ones yet in the series.

Me too, congratulations!

The presale starts at 1:00 PM, but can anyone tell me which time zone?

 

Thanks.

 

Now I know! The coins went on sale 12 minutes ago and I have placed my order. I'm looking forward to having these in hand.

Just a couple of days left on the Autumn pre-sale.

 

Thanks everyone for making this series so popular! This latest one has already eclipsed the previous two sales.

 

There are still a small number of full sets available, not to mention the LEs and REs.

I think it fits nicely to the winter-theme, but - to be honest - my first spontaneous impression was that the woman looks rather androgynous... well, hard to explain... she has something harsh... just give her a sword in the right hand and she would pass for a young knight. Would love to see her more feminine...

Posted

Wow! I love it!

 

This may be the best one yet, but I do agree that she looks a bit manly. I am not at all an expert on drawing humans, but my guess is that her jaw is too large. I think that there needs to be a line on the left side of her face (the viewer's right) showing her delicate jaw. Some of the main feature that distinguish a man from a woman are jaw, breasts, and hips. Hips are probably the most important, and breasts are the least in calling attention to femaleness. However, the jaw is also crucial.

 

In spite of this hopefully constructive criticism, it is a great design and I will be buying it (probably a set) whether it is modified or not.

I really hope you don't mind my input. I'll say it again, it is an awesome design and far better than I could do. I have looked at the female figure several more times and the hairline keeps coming to mind. I really have no idea how to draw hairlines, but it seems to me that it could come a little more forward, so that there is a little more hair around her forehead. Perhaps her hands could also be a tad bit thinner and more delicate.

Autumn coins are in and the first bunch have been mailed out. The rest are going out tomorrow!

 

I have few left over. They will be in the store on Sunday.

My autumn set made it across the ocean very quickly and the coins look great in hand. What is more, I survived without VAT and custom fees. Thanks a lot, Chuck. Hopefully, it will also be possible with Sliderule.
