Teapots and Three Pins
Added 2019-11-21 04:16:03 +0000 UTCDear Insane Children,
As our art/design team turn their attention to Hatter's Domain we'll start to explore elements of the story, visuals, and design you'll find there.
Joey sends over an illustration of Hatter's Domain *before* the explosion which blew it to bits. This provides a foundation for the area around his domain and his workshop - a mixture of Classic English Countryside with a strong dose of Hieronymus Bosch.
Also on the list of areas to explore in Hatter's Domain: The interior of Hatter's laboratory and observatory, a giant tea table, interior of Hatter's cottage/home, the interior of Hatter's workshop, and some of the surrounding "countryside" - all blown to bits, of course.
Look forward to seeing lots of beautiful new art!
Enamel Pins - Progress and Possibilities
Jen continues her efforts on pin designs...
We've generated a selection of designs based on The Jabberwock. Jen initially submitted Design 'C' and I suggested that we add the alchemy symbol for Fire (upright triangle). We also played around with spreading the triangle around the edge to create a hint of a Chaos symbol. And there's one which just plops a Chaos symbol right into the background...
Which do you prefer? Let us know in the comments below! (I quite like D and E).
She also sent over The Carpenter from AMR:
This started with the design you see on the left. I suggested we take the ship's wheel out of his ear. And then thought it would be nice to have the V turned into the alchemy symbol for water (upside-down triangle) which resulted in the final image you see on the right.
What do you think? Let us know in the comments below!
And last but not least...
Some of you may remember this Mock Turtle design from our previous exploration of pin/patch designs.
I still think he's cute but I don't know that he fits in with the overall dark/magic theme we're building towards with this set.
What do you think? Tu Turtle or Not Tu Turtle?
Still one more big post I'm working on for this week. It's making my brain hurt - in a good way - so I don't know if I can have it done before the weekend... but I am trying!

2019-11-24 04:14:35 +0000 UTCSince I'd rather blow the mock turtle up, I'm gonna give you a hard no on that one. Bastard kept drowning me. The test of the pins are gorgeous though
2019-11-23 15:04:31 +0000 UTCKeep mister mock turtle
2019-11-23 02:48:21 +0000 UTCSUGGESTION: Why don't we do the style of the Mock Turtle pin for set #2?
2019-11-23 01:15:44 +0000 UTCThe hatters domain image is amazing!! absolutely love it. Design B or E look nice. I think the turtle would be cute in a different collection.
2019-11-22 04:07:09 +0000 UTCPin B or Pin E. No turtle or a different version of the turtle. The version shown really doesn't seem to fit in with the collection style.
2019-11-22 02:38:58 +0000 UTCE for Jabberwock. Third design for Carpenter but add the wheel back. No turtle.
2019-11-22 01:34:55 +0000 UTCPins B or E. Beautiful paintingπ

2019-11-21 21:10:22 +0000 UTCI say tu turtle. I get we are all dark and crazy here but we are more than that for sure. Also I like E best for the pin.
2019-11-21 18:56:10 +0000 UTCLove the new hatter domain artwork, love all 3 pins mock turtle included, I'd say pins B and E for the jabberwocky design. Looking forward to all the new artwork coming!
2019-11-21 16:24:26 +0000 UTCOh and I like the Mock Turtle :)
2019-11-21 15:58:03 +0000 UTCJabberwock: E, The Carpenter: The farthest to the right!
2019-11-21 15:57:41 +0000 UTCPin B of the Jabberwock looks great! Not so sure about the Carpenter pin and Mock Turtle pin though... The painting loooks great, gives me a feel of the original books' of Alice in Wonderland artwork that I have in my bookshelf!
Definitely not Adam Driver
2019-11-21 14:06:41 +0000 UTCPin No. B

2019-11-21 13:30:26 +0000 UTCI really love the painting for the Hatterβs Domain! This feels very Alice-y to me. I would love to see more of this kind picture.

2019-11-21 12:55:45 +0000 UTCPersonally, I think C. Adding a background makes the image seem too busy. But if I had to pick a background I would say E. Also, the mock turtle is cute, but too cute No turtle. Lol
2019-11-21 12:21:58 +0000 UTCB. And Not Tu Turtle.
Erin Flower
2019-11-21 10:53:43 +0000 UTCMy preference is E for The Jabberwock
Martin Towell
2019-11-21 10:46:42 +0000 UTCIm drawn to B for the Jabberwock pin. Mock turtle doesn't seem to fit in with the chaos
2019-11-21 10:31:18 +0000 UTCJabberwock pins B or E preferable. Aside from perhaps tweaking his colors (As one of previous members said), is there a way his expression can truly look sad? Now he seems rather tired, than sad.
2019-11-21 07:36:07 +0000 UTCI love the hatters domain image but I'm not feeling the pins. I don't know if I missed a discussion about them but I feel they should be more main character focused or recognisable e.g Alice, vorpal blade, Cheshire cat, teapot cannon, hatter and his iconic hat etc. I dont know if it's just me but I feel having really minor characters on pins isn't the way to go and I'm a huge collector of pins.
2019-11-21 07:28:45 +0000 UTC1. The shape of the pin itself could be the triangle, rather than incorporating the triangles into another shape. 2. I'm really not liking the look of this Mock Turtle design.
