<p>[QUOTE="wiggam007, post: 1480747, member: 18436"]Well, here is my attempt. Not amazing, in particular the lettering and the face are pretty awful lol. The other issue that I wanted to address that I didn't have time to is the larger problem that I feel is creating bad coins. It isn't the images on the coin but the fact that these are being drawn or done on a photoshop style graphics engine. Whereas the classic American coins are all done by sculptors who have a sense of the 3d nature of coins, modern day coins lack that sense of dimension that cannot be expressed in just a drawing. I actually wanted to try and sculpt this, but ran out of time and lost my clay <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> so you have to settle for this lol. Be gentle I'm definitely not an artist <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]187340.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH]187341.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe I will sculpt it later if I can find the clay lol[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
