Like many of you, I keep a regular job. Like many jobs, my job generates material waste. However, unlike most jobs; part of my job involves hot foil stamping greeting cards.
I have been Stockpiling scrap unused foil (the press machine re-rolls the used foil, and i take it home when that spool gets full).
after fiddling around for a few months with a couple different image transfer and tracing techniques (that art degree may pay off yet) I finally worked out a process that achieves my desired results. Without further ado, I present the very first Hand-Drawn-custom-foil-stamp design from (studio name to be determined): Final Fantasy Seven's Midgar City on a bottom stamped star Mako.
It may or may not be finished yet, as I'm contemplating adding the Shinra company logo underneath in red and black foil.
Please note that I will begin accepting commissions on a single disc basic. Considering the work involved I am going to be charging, in addition to the actual cost of the disc (irrelevant if you mail your disc to me);
20$ per small design (around 2.5" in diameter)
30$ per medium design (~4" in diameter)
40$ per large designs (~5.5" in diameter)
50$ for full disc designs
*please note pricing is approximate, A large design with less line work would be cheaper than a very complex design of the same size. For reference, I would consider the "Midgar Mako" a medium design even though it's length spans 7.5," it's height is only 3." All orders will begin with a friendly email conversation and a free estimate.
Colors Currently available are:
Gold
Silver
Bronze
Red
Black
Ghost(clear white[I haven't tested this color on discs yet])
* feel free to suggest colors, if this service becomes popular I may be able to purchase some additional hues. Otherwise colors will added as my employer expands our print lab's product selection
And finally feel free to chime in with any and all feedback, suggestions, critiques, trollings, encouragement, or questions. For several months now I've been spending many night and weekend hours getting this project off the ground, I want to hear peoples reactions.
