Question about Custom purchases... Got spare money?

I plan on buying a "custom purchase. (i.e. a Mug with SMAC stuff on it).

My question is, Is there an additional price for this?

(that's all)

That classic stein will do. All I have to do is send an email describing what I want? Also, do I send the email before or after I make the purchase?

How would you purchase a custom stein before emailing Markos?


Were I to buy another stein from the store, I would get my avatar put on it.
Come to think of it Markos, what is the size limit of the picture you can put on the stein?

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

SOLD!!!

I just gotta hunt for what I want on the stein and I'll be sending an email. Probably just gonna have the Human Hive symbol on front w/APOLYTON underneath it, and on the back have a quote by Chairman Yang in italics.

Does this sound do-able?

(Thanks MarkG for putting up with my constant n00b questions. )

Enter the AD-FREE zone

are you going to do the graphic yourself or do want me do it? if the later finding the initial hive logo in big resolution and being precise on what you would like would mean a much faster result

If you think this looks close enough (don't have SMAC myself, so I had to go by the Hive avatar), Frankychan/MarkG, I've got a bigger one where that came from.

Whoa, thanks for the replies guys. And thank you Mercatore Uno for that lovely Hive symbol.

Well, to be safe, I think the Hive symbol is good enough. I'm not having any luck finding a "good Hive symbol". The ones I find are either of poor resolution, or have those "game lines" in them. If it would be ok with you, can you do the symbol, MarkG?

But I would like to have 'Apolyton' underneath it in small lettering to indicated where I bought if from.....along with one of Yang's quotes.

Thanks for helping me out guys.

Increase Your PM Length

I have much bigger (705x705) bitmap and PSP7 vector (so any minor faults can be corrected quite easily) versions of that Hive symbol.

I'm sure MarkG is in a better position to add the Apolyton thing and whatnot...

Tired of ads?

Ah crap... PSP can't export to PSD vector files. The best I can do is put every shape in a separate layer, and possibly make the whole thing even larger (if you want).

You mean like this?

(if I understood the "drinkware template" correctly, I added a small crosshair at the centerpoint which should be exactly opposite the hive symbol on the stein)

This is the quote. If it is possible, can I get the actual quote in italics, but have "Chairman Sheng-ji Yang" and "Essays on Mind and Matter" in regular font?

(once again, thank you guys. I really appreciate it.)

Just reading the opening line, I started thinking that the stuff I'm going to be putting in the stein will be affecting my "flesh and bone" and will "warp the matrix through which I perceive the world".
