I have been making deck boxes for myself a while, but recently a few of my friends have been telling me I should start selling them. However, they ARE my friends and obviously biased haha. So I figured this is a good place to get an honest opinion. Which of these boxes best suits you? What type would you like to see more of, and of course, would you pay your hard earned money for anything like this? Or are my friends too generous
The mouth and octopus are really cool looking. The dryad/zombie thing looks amaturish and the roots one is a bit too simple.
Can you line the interior of the boxes with felt or something? I'd worry about getting my sleeves scratched up.
If these can fit EDH decks, I'm sure you'd have a market.
I don't think you're quite at sellable. I agree with what zemogFC said: "The mouth and octopus are really cool looking. The dryad/zombie thing looks amaturish and the roots one is a bit too simple."
They could all use more polish, and the last 2 also need more design and pop.
How are you making these - i.e. is it easy for you to duplicate/reproduce?
Teeth, octopus, and roots are all molds. I made one of each out of clay and then when i wanted more I created a mold of them and used cold-cast resin. The paint jobs on them are very simple, even by hand and take only a few minutes (except the drying between coats).
As for the design, I mainly do computer aided graphics, so physical sculpting is not my forte'. However, I was thinking of using Shape-ways to make more complex boxes, then using the same mold and cast technique.
