You just said his name is ROY!!!! NOW it's Lyle???? Man, I can only imagine the screwy childhood involved with growing up with a dad who changes your name every few minutes!!!

While I see where you're coming from, the term "boomstick" I think (never seen the movies) refers to guns, not explosions. The blood could be controversal but censoring things is a slippery slope.

Ideally Jeff should do whatever he feels comfortable with but I'd prefer that one persons idea of what is/isn't exceptable doesn't come into play. It's his company and product so it's totally his call but I'd rather he not censor images and if he's uncomfortable with some, then don't post them on p0rn or his site. They're still made, just not "advertised" or publicly posted?

Just my half $.01

Oh I totally agree and am not a fan of censorship at all...and I totally understand the reference to the term boomstick...I'm just saying that given the recent climate and the hyper sensitivity of some...I'd check with Jeff on that one before getting my heart 100% set on it...ya know...not that I'd lump Jeff in the overly sensitive category at all..
Hell I'd probably come up with something like that myself just for the sheer smart-arsed irony..
But you never know these days..

AMEN Brother! (Oh, and mom wants you to call her!)

Censorship??? Me?? Surely you jest....

Awesome...just wanted to make sure given the recent goings on...and all the people in a tizzy...I find it funny...like someone smacked a beehive with a stick and people freaking out...but ya never know..well now we do because you weighed in on it...

The problem with blood (and most liquids) is their inherent transparency. To look real (as most people perceive it) it's deep red (boardering on purplish tones) with almost black in the thicker areas. On a black background it gets lost, especially considering the Chuck print process seems to have a certain amount of transparency in the printing. Punch up the red to make it appropriately visible on black and it starts to look more like red acrylic paint.

Here's a quickie of the same splatters on a white background:

Ignore the button on this image (forgot to turn the damn layer off!)

The white makes the blood POP more.

This more like what you had in mind?

These are my choices! Thanks for the last one the bleeding button > full on splatter! Awesome stuff! Thank you so much!

OK, here's the image to give to Jeff when you order. Also send him the mock-up images to show the image's relationship to the button and the background & endcap colors. You also might want to mention to him that you can get him the Photoshop file if he wants it. If he does just let me know (it's a BIG file so not worth sending unless he needs it to change something).

Just let me know if there's anything else I can help with.
