September Art Challenge - Klaus

[Klaus]

Well, not untypically I'm approaching this from a little different perspective than the excellent stuff already posted... rather than a ship or military unit, this is a challenge coin for operatives of Section 31, which adds the wrinkle of it being a secret organization -- so this is for their cover company, Universal Exports [a reference I'm sure some of you will get lol]

Here's my first go:

 

[Klaus]

...making the coin spin is of course irresistable.

[Kaiser]

Very cool

 

[Klaus]

ty!

Here's some more greebling, w/a colored scalloped ring and some inset Earths...

 

[Buck Rogers]

[childofdarkness]

Neat! I wish I had the talent to do nifty stuff like that!

 

[Klaus]

ty very much all!

..here's a display case, only 500 credits from the Franklin Mint!

 

[Gecko of Gorn]

Nice work.

It'd make a great casino chip.

 

[Shikarnov]

That's a great coin.

How big is it meant to be? Are those globes supposed to be clearly visible, or are they the 23rd century equivalent of "micro-printing" to prevent counterfeiting?

ty! ..and that's right, it's regular coin-size.

 

[Klaus]

Since we have so many cool entries I thought I'd bump them to the front, also to remind everyone to send them in by tomorrow night to Ptrope!

 

[Klaus]

Here's my final, and sent it to the Grand Poohbah...

 

[BK613]

So, is the reference to Michael Moorcock's books intentional? Specifically, this? If so, that is very apropos.

 

[Klaus]

^^yes, it's supposed to be overtly a symbol of "universal" commerce but covertly the chaos symbol... longtime Moorcock fan here.
