Need artwork for a custom beer stein
« on: March 15, 2011, 02:40:22 am »
Hello all,

So there are many places on the internet where one can order a beer stein with a custom image.  My wife has offered to get me one as a gift and I really would like to put a image related to Dwarf Fortress on it.  I was wondering if anyone else has done something like this? Did the image on the stein look good? What picture did you use? Etc?

The image size is 1662 by 600 pixels at 200dpi.  It is a white coloured stein.  Would anyone like to submit some artwork, perhaps?  8)

Cheers!

You've probably already looked here, but you might find something equally awesome here.

Think of it like Sim City, except with rival mayors that seek to destroy your citizens by arming legions of homeless people and sending them to attack you.

Haha. Well, if you're not going to mass produce them or anything, I'd be honored for my drawing to be on a stein.  8)

With spikes of bone/turtle shell?


Thanks for the ideas. The mug would be a one off, no mass production, probably using cafepress or something similar.  Kind of like what a kid would get his dad, with his dad's picture or some generic text saying "Best Dad". Except, of course, that instead of some generic text I would having magma flowing over an incoming siege of goblins, with elf corpses laying everywhere.  You know, something cheery.

Maybe I will put the design instructions behind the dwarven magma piston?

I really like this one and am considering having it on both sides of the stein;  Nice white background, has some in humour, and I think it would look great on a white mug.  I also saw your "Smiling Dwarf", very 'cute'. Rushmik, do you have any more?

Nothing else concerning dwarves or dwarf fortress, no - but I'd be happy to take a request if you can think of anything. I think it would be fun drawing a Death-Depot in action, or something equally as dwarfy. :)

Or, if you want to use the picture posted earlier, I can send you a more print-friendly version.

There is also the fan art thread.

Although if it was me, I'd be turning an Art Reward into mug form (or at least trying.)
