Yea we could do them as Polycarb doubleshots, but like i said, for them the be doubleshots we need to simplify the designs.
This was SP's take at the pot leaf:

Funny you should mention that; the thought crossed my mind but I wrote it off because I figured there wouldn't be many LSD fans here on GH (or anywhere for that matter, ****'s hard to find these days if you aren't savvy with Tor).
That and I couldn't think of an elegant way to do an LSD blotter silhouette. If you have any suggestions on how to transfer an LSD blotter to a silhouette I'd love to give it a try.

Dice - http://techkeys.us/collections/keys/products/vegas-dice-set
Women - http://i.imgur.com/rDJSa.jpg
But a set could be cool if done right. Those images would only work as a dye sub unless they were simplified.

Yes some of these individual themes have been done, but never together as a set (as far as I know).
Those keys don't match or look good near each other. Those would work if you wanted to pick one vice for your escape key or something, but I would like to proudly display all my vices together in a tasteful way. The CC pot leaf is $200 on ebay, that woman key is tacky, the beer and dice keys are cool on their own but don't jive with the rest.
Are doubleshots considered superior to dye sub? If so would you recommend simplifying the designs to go doubleshot or stick with it and go dye sub?
i3oilermaker:
Doubleshots have cleaner lines and more contrast. All dyesubs are not created equal...in my opinion SP makes the best dyesubs, but they are expensive, and colors can only be printed on white keys.
See http://imgur.com/a/kgX1n for reference...FYI that dysub is not a SP dyesub.

Yeah I've seen this and I'm not a fan. The pot leaf looks far too rounded. Not big on the green on green either.

I wonder how much detail we'd have to sacrifice to make it suitable for doubleshot...
YoungMichael88:
What about a big fat Cuban cigar for a 6th? Like I said in the other thread I'm in for a set.
