When ordering, might want to mention real specifically if you are expecting a full wrap or not. I think this new full wrap-photoshop movement might be a bit confusing.

Thanks for the heads up :)

I like them both. The second is very sensual but I really like the first one. She is beautiful.

I like them both too that is why I can't decide. Maybe the umbrella one in smaller size for stealth and the other in bigger size. (sorry don't have my chuck lingo down yet ;) )

Michelle...Both graphics are great...but I like the first one more!

Explain, please. Are most Chucks only painted on one side?

Michelle, most of the places that sell adapters indicate that the same one works for a 901 and an 808D. For example, here's Heaven Gift's adapter page.

Naw, just meant that a lot of times people (assuming) send Jeff a graphic they pulled from somewhere and say "Make it work and/or I want this body color" and Jeff does his thing and puts in on the Chuck... I imagine others just send him the graphic and say "Go with it"

So if he doesn't know you want a full body wrap, he may just put the graphic on at his discretion...as in the case of the Hummingbird chuck.

There's also this (and sorry, I'm going to have to slip into Graphic Artist mode for a moment): The Chuck has a very specific size, and the average graphic is not going to fit it exactly unless one designs it to do so. The Little Chuck requires an image that is almost a square, 2.8 x 3 inches, with the Chuck at 2.8 x 4.5 inches. So, as a for instance, here's how your image fits those dimensions:

The black borders show the dimensions to fit the Chucks. First one is the little Chuck. Without cropping or distorting the image, the image will not go all the way around. Second is a regular Chuck, and again, without cropping or distorting the image, it won't fit perfectly. It will go all the way around, but there would be a border at the top and bottom.

If you understand how your graphic will fit the dimensions of the Chuck, then you can decide how to handle any potential problems that might cause disappointment otherwise.

I would just shoot him a PM or a message, if he hasn't built it already.

I'm sure he hasn't started. I just ordered.

Thanks for the info Waffle. I PM'd Jeff and asked if he could widen or lengthen the image to make it fully wrap. I would prefer it that way.
If he couldn't, I would take it with whatever body was exposed in Granny Smith Metallic.

I'm going with a Little Chuck. I tried a distortion to 2.8x3 the other day and it looks almost identical. Just out of curiosity, I also distorted it to Big Chuck dimensions and the creature in the center got much too skinny.

I'll send him a reproportioned version.

When he puts the design on, does it go just to the edge of the end caps on top or is a smidge underneath that? (I want to figure out how much to crop off the dark stuff on the original.)

I just ordered my first one, so it will be a few weeks before I can answer that. :) Hopefully someone else can.
