i absolutely agree.

That video is outstanding.

Not that it has a lot to do with our print, but I just read an interesting bit of trivia. Apparently Bradley Cooper partially based Rocket's voice on Joe Pesci's performance in Goodfellas.

And this is why I shouldn't avoid the forum for a few months, would've loved to get in on this.

Congratz though guys

Maybe we can avoid a crimson red, but what about maroon?

I don't think it should be the primary color of the print (maybe some sort of blue?), but I think maroon or a similar color should be present. Thoughts?

I agree...maroon should be present but I don't want it to be the primary color. I'm leaning toward a bluish purple but I'm sure Alex has some great ideas.

Thanks for putting that vid together. You know, some artists amaze me. While doing an amazing job, these artists are continually setting the bar for my commissioning standards. I'm in a number of groups where, if this much work was ever put into it, they would've been done ages ago. Even just regular commissions are sometimes very grueling. So happy we have an artist that's serious about his trade!

After reading your comment, I think you indirectly bring up a fun idea: perhaps the things you listed could be the only elements that have the red color, allowing for it to act as an accent color to the overall piece.

Thoughts?

Baby Groot was cute, but give him the boot

Thanks for the updates Alex

If that is what the majority wants, despite being a huge Baby Groot booster, I am cool with leaving him out. Perhaps he can cameo as a hidden/concealed image in the bark textures of the regular Groot

That could work. I like red, crimson et al.
