The price is indeed too high, it's usually ≈$25, with the 'good deals' at $20. I personally wouldn't pay $70 for a shipped deskmat, whatever the design.

I love myself deskmats, but seeing a 35$ price for a deskmat, especially a group buy one, is just too much in my opnion. I pay 20-25$ then pay whatever for shipping. If you could talk to the vendor, hopefully they can lower the price down to 25. glwic

The price is too high for a GB deskmat. Also, did you reach out to the designers of GMK Terror Below regarding this mat? They ran 3 deskmats that paired with their set already, I'm not sure they would be super happy about this mat...you should probably reach out to them about that

There’s no way that someone would be so concerned about possible IP theft to watermark every half inch of a picture and not previously have contacted the designer of a set about using their colors. Post that approval message here, please.

I don't own the colors of the set I designed, OP can run whatever he wants.

As afresh said, we do not own the colors. We also don't own Cthulhu. So as long as you aren't using my artwork what you do doesn't affect me.

 I like your design and I think they look nice, but 35 is too high for a deskmat.
