Hi everyone :)

I started a little button-making business today and wanted to show some love for TF2.

The best way to get decent button makers is from online. I got mine off Ebay, but I know that many people buy them off button supply websites. A decent one usually goes for ~$100-$200, depending on the brand and how convenient you want the process to be.

>>8542
Thanks! Yeah, I was surprised to have never seen the logos on buttons.

>>8543
I'm selling them for $1.50 each + shipping. E-mail me at vickinatorsales @ gmail.com if interested. :)

I'm posting my Heavy buttons as well. The text is meh, but it's hard to fit a lot on a 1 1/4' button. I'm going to mess around with the font some more.

I've secretly loved you my entire life.

God, these are the best team-based so far too. It has text and adorable animation-things! I love how pissed Heavy looks~
>> No. 8564
Oh my god these are amazing! Looking forward to seeing more designs

I love your heavy pins!

Just a heads-up, though: Jadie already makes class buttons (see picture), so I'd make sure you don't stylistically step on her toes. Stick to your own unique style so people don't accuse you of copying her.
>> No. 8583
i have a button make of my own and i was wondering what sized buttons you used?

Mine are, I think, 1&1/2".

Also where should i go to get better prints. My home printer doesn't make then high quality enough and I get colors that have likes between tones.
>> No. 8585
>>8563
Thanks! :) Yes, the Heavy has a sparkly bald head.

>>8582
Thanks for the heads up!
She really has no need to worry - I have my own style of art and would never simply copy someone else's unique ideas for buttons. Her style is very unique, so I do not see a problem occurring in the future. :)
If I do make all the classes, I'd probably just make the emblems or teeny full bodies. I'm having a difficult time already with creating a chibi Scout head by itself :P

>>8583
1 1/4', same as yours.
I have no idea about printing... I just used my own home printer to print mine.

>> note to everyone
I'm accepting custom orders/requests for other things you'd like to see for TF2 buttons, so just let me know if you would desire something specific (nothing too complex ^^')
>> No. 8586
>>8583
D'oh, I thought you said you had 1 1/4' ^^; Sorry about that. Mine are smaller.

Wrench and Sapper buttons

Would also like to see Sandman / Regular bat and Sandvich.

Basically, some of the weapons since nobody has done them to my knowledge.

I probably won't be able to buy any if you don't ship to the UK, or if it's obscenely expensive without buying 10 at a time, hah. :(

I'll try making wrench and sapper buttons later today. I've already made a sandvich button, too!

I ship worldwide from New York. Shipping for 5 buttons or less (worldwide) is $2.50, 5+ buttons to 10 is $3.50, so on and so forth...
Shipping domestic starts at $2

E-mail me at vickinatorsales @ gmail.com for any further questions or if anyone would like to order

Forgot to post these as well.
Each class emblem has either a RED/BLU version available.
>> No. 9332

I thought Spy's emblem was a balaclava? At least it is on the tab screen (Dunno what else to call it, heh)

>>9307

That is a very good looking sandvich!
>> No. 9337

oh god...I really want some pyro and medic buttons now...
>> No. 9344

According to http://tf2wiki.net/wiki/Spy, the emblem is as is. The emblems are represented on their arms as patches, not necessarily what's represented on the tab screen. At least that's how I understand it, heh.

Thanks! :)

>>9337
I'll be selling buttons for awhile so you're free to contact me whenever you're ready to order.
>> No. 9410
>>9344

Technically the spy doesn't have a patch on him anymore, so I'm not sure where the wiki got that picture for his emblem. If anything, it should be a balisong/butterfly knife, but that's just my opinion. :\

Otherwise, these are great. Good luck with them! :D
>> No. 9438
>>9410
With some investigative work, I figured out why the tf2 wiki has that as the spy emblem: http://www.teamfortress.com/sniper_vs_spy/day05_english.htm

it's faded in the background behind "meet the spy"
I can make an unofficial butterfly knife version for you later

also, I noticed I vectored the handle a little differently and it's bothering me so I'll fix that later as well
>> No. 9439
>>9438
Assuming that IS the butterfly knife already (in the official emblem), I mean I'll make the handle more obvious in an unofficial version. :)
