DraftCalc 'Sketch Store' Launches Feb. 1
  • SmittySmitty

    What is it?
    It's a standalone product outside of content. It's a store full of Avatars, Banners, Custom Images... all original artwork/sketches of NFL players (none of which are copies of anything out there, like other's photos. These are are original. 

    Why create the Sketch Store?
    We all love our FF avatars, league banners , Facebook banners, Facebook post bragging, and league-based articles (where we brag about who we drafted).... 

    Examples?
    Here is a sketch of returning-to-college running back Melvin Gordon III:

    Here is a sketch of incoming rookie running back Carlos Hyde:
     

    What will be in the store?
    Well, in the store will be already-sketched images, like this one above, sketches of AP, Calvin, Shady McCoy, etc, but we will also have a product where you tell me what player you want sketched and what you want added (league name, or team name, or your name, your kid's name, etc). So, products will include:
    1) 'Already-Created' Sketches 
    2) 'Request-Your-Own' Sketch, a to-be-created product
    3) 'Draw My Line-Up' Sketch (most likely limited to 5-6 players, and excluding your DST :) )

    Pricing
    Pricing will be TBA, but already-created sketches will be very cheap and reasonable, I imagine in the $4.99 to $5.99 range. The custom stuff will be a reasonable step up in price to accommodate the time spent creating.

    Style
    The style is as you see above, so expect that type of product in return. Pencil-only style sketch can be done, or pencil-style with color like above. All work is drawn digitally.

    Nice Christmas present!
    Bold Predictions:

    Here is an order I received/completed by the commissioners of the Instant Classic's III League... a league banner where the winner gets to decide what players of his he wants to display for all to see all year long. It came out pretty sweet looking. 

    If anyone wants a custom banner ordered, the Sketch Store launches on Feb. 1! You can PM me early if you need something sooner.

    Thanks, man. Order one on Feb. 1 for your league, your facebook posts so you can brag, or buy the product where I can sketch your line-up (pick like 5-6 of your main guys). I can do an order early, but Feb. 1 the product will be up.
