+Jackalgirl Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Sneak Peek Just a teaser. It's all initial art, meaning the mint hasn't had a chance to weigh in (and the art will undoubtedly change somewhat). But I thought I'd share. Muah hah hah hah! Quote
+scificollector Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 That's just evil! Shame on you! Quote
+Jackalgirl Posted January 29, 2012 Author Posted January 29, 2012 Well, you know, I have to fulfill my destiny as an evil overlord and all. ; ) Quote
+scificollector Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Does that mean we might have another plundering voyage later this year O Evil Overlord? Quote
+Jackalgirl Posted January 29, 2012 Author Posted January 29, 2012 Quite probably. High-seas piracy is too fun to pass up. : ) Quote
+Crowesfeat30 Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Ya tease. I see four sections that do not match up. CF30 Quote
+sweetlife Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Very Colorful for sure yes a tease too:) Thanks for making us smile. Quote
+AtwellFamily Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 She did the same thing to me yesterday. I have been working on the art and will send you some later to look at. With nothing attached. Quote
+keewee Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 You are very cunning! I see pieces rotated through 180deg. (My mind is working on it like a jigsaw puzzle - we just spent the last week of camping doing a challenging wasgij puzzle and my mind is still spinning from it! ) Quote
+Jackalgirl Posted January 30, 2012 Author Posted January 30, 2012 Actually, none of the pieces are rotated from the original art; they're all ordinary, right-side-up selections -- but from both the front & back of the art. Heh, heh, Mike -- I just wanted to make sure you knew I hadn't forgotten you, since the deadline was upon me! At that very point in time, I didn't have anything worth showing. : ) Quote
+Crowesfeat30 Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 Ok, so THIS is obviously a dragonfly soooooooooooooo........Hmmmmmmmmmmm...... CF30 Quote
GregsonVaux Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 Based on what I see so far, I'm pretty sure that I will be buying one or several. There have been a lot of Egypt themed coins and it makes me wonder why we all like Egyptian art so much. There is something about it that has a grip on us, which is larger than other art styles and themes. Is it the idea that animals lead us to something spiritual? Do we like the unapologetic formality of it? Do we like its severe sense of order? I really don't quite understand how and why it taps into our psyches. Quote
+longtomsilver Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 Wow, you are making me very nosy I would like to see more. Quote
+Jackalgirl Posted February 6, 2012 Author Posted February 6, 2012 I sent a newsletter out to my newsletter subscribers regarding this coin -- if you are a newsletter subscriber and did NOT just recently get a message, please log into the store and check your email address. I got five bounces and one "mailbox full" indication -- if you check your email and it isn't correct, you may need to resubscribe -- just look at your account settings and make sure the email is correct and you're subscribed (if you want to be). Cheers! Quote
+Crowesfeat30 Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Gorgeous! Can't wait to see samples. CF30 Quote
+scificollector Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Very nice! Got a current trade list, Kat? I would love to have an AE version. (mmmmm........glow colors!) Quote
+kini_ont Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Yes this is going to be a very special coin and like others the "Evil Overlord" has taken my heart, body and I'd give up my soul Quote
+keewee Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Changed my account preferences so that I DO get the newsletters. (Thought I already had that turned on, but obviously not) Can you send me a copy of the newsletter please? Quote

+GoldBugGirl Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Oh my, that is outstanding! Pavlovian response here--gotta have one of each--hope I'll have a coin you'll deem worthy to accept in exchange for the AE. Quote
+geoquino Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 They look fantastic. What is their planned diameter? Quote
+Jackalgirl Posted February 6, 2012 Author Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) They'll be 1.75" in diameter (at least, that's the current plan). Thanks! : ) Edited to add: I probably will be open to some trades, but I don't know yet. I don't want to make any promises when we haven't heard back from the mint yet. Edited February 6, 2012 by Jackalgirl Quote
+keewee Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 You might want to get the thread title changed to reflect the coin... ? Quote
+Jackalgirl Posted February 6, 2012 Author Posted February 6, 2012 But it's only you newsletter subscribers who even know what it's called yet. Muah hah hah hah hah! In a few more days or so (maybe after we get a response from the mint) I'll post the original artwork here and reveal the coin to everyone. Quote
+keewee Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 LMAO - Oh, you are so evil my overlord! he he he Quote
+Ruud4d Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 WOW! Enough said 'bout the coin. P.S. Thank you for the personal note, Kat. On order #1 Quote
+EyeD10T Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 I got my newsletter today and all I have to say is wow - very nice. I really love how you mixed the deep __________ with the swirling _____________. The _________-side of the coin is going to be so beautiful - exactly what shade of ____________ and ____________ are those colors? Quote
+fox-and-the-hound Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Color me curious as well Looks pretty sweet from the teasers though! Quote
