My new game Mat

By macar, in X-Wing

I love the first side. I'm not totally crazy on the 2nd side but if you can keep the cost under $20 like you were originally thinking i will still buy one. :)

I think my complaint with the 2nd side is the planet needs color. So much of it being black against the background of space doesn't look great. Maybe switch it to a gas giant?

I love the rest of it and if it's in the $20 range I'm very interested

I like this boarder even more than the balck and yellow. Also like that you moved the logos. I think you have a winner here.

EDIT: Sorted out!

Macar, check your email again. I did not give you permission to post that artwork.

Awk-ward. :unsure:

Heh. It's cool. I don't think he meant to do any harm, and he hasn't.

I agree and couldn't quite figure out why I didn't like the image. Here is the new planet.

In theory its correct, two low temperature suns being the right distance would allow this tundra to take form. :D I Loved astrology last year.

just a little Star Wars humor. I figured you could handle it :-)

Move logo to staging area and I'm not a huge fan of the yellow/black border. It stands out alright but more so than some of the features of the map. I'll still probably take one if the price is right but was looking for something a little more immersive than this; the wild border just breaks it for me.

Here is a redo of the First side,

1) the image file was too large

2) I didn't really like the moon

this one is great!

agreed I will be working on a new border later this evening

Awwww i loved the picture with the moon :(

Reduce the size of the green planet and turn that into the moon! Green moon will go well with gas clouds. The white planet is ok. Like it better than the dual planet but still could use some detailing. Keep up the good work and let me know when you want my money!

I would love one with the 1st planet image on one side and the greeny gaseous one on the other (I didn't mind the moon but think the planet from the middle image would make a cooler "moon" (smaller).

I too am very interested in this and if the price is right with shipping would be very willing to buy one from ya......keep up the good work!

I like the idea for the map in post #35. Brilliant.
Put me down for one. :)

Here is a beta final image for side 1 (the players area are not finalized yet), Eclipse of Eternity

I would like to know, what is proffered more for Side 1, nebula with planet and sun, or just the nebula.

For side 2, I removed the red planets as they really didn't do much. I felt the final image looked fine as a simpler model.

The feedback I have gotten so far has been invaluable. I am happy to have the community input their responses and ideas in creating something we can all enjoy!

Are you using photo shop? If so I would add one more layer of curvature on the grey planets and then stick a contrast filter on it and darken it slightly.

I really do love the yellow/orange space dust. It looks fit!

Love the first one but it is less green than the original (which I liked). The white planet just doesn't quite do it for me. It takes up a bit too much of the space and doesn't have a lot going for it. The background could use a little something since the planet is already white/grey/black. Still interested no matter which route you choose but I would love an eclipse one and the original planet from the 1st post.

If I had to choose i would choose the the first one on post #43 with the medium sized planet and on the other side i would choose the very first one you posted you had printed on the vinyl already

LOVE the new first side, don't change a thing, but i think you should re-detail the 2nd images planet, possibly a more earth style planet? (Water, Land, Clouds ext.) ether way if this is in my budget i will totally order one for the first side alone.

Unfortunately unless I get permission from the artist I cannot print that original image to sell

The question in post 43 was: nebula with- or without planets, for me it would be without. I would not want both sides to portray planets. Alternatively you could do 3 different designs:

- one mat with starscapes (without any heavenly bodies) on both sides

- one mat with planets on both sides

- one mat with a side with planets and one side with just a starscape.

Is the mate just standard pvc banner matetial?

If so it does not scrunch up or slided during play?
