designfail = designs that are quite bad, but which people might be amused by seeing anyway!

That looks pretty good to me! I like the way there reminders in bat wings on the collars and shoulders.

I don’t get it. Why is this a design fail?

Well, that’s largely subjective, I guess. I do like the ragged batlike cloak and the mother-of-pearl skull. But I think the wood veneer doesn’t integrate well, and the “wound” on the bottom doesn’t make much sense. (That said, the real materials would probably look better; this is a paper mockup.)

You are smart to do a paper mockup before you invest time and expensive materials in the real cut. I like the cloak, skull and hat. Maybe leather instead of wood veneer and you can easily delete the “wound” at the bottom if you don’t like it.

I think it looks pretty cool still

I think it’s terrifying–which means you did a good job. It’s great in whatever materials you choose. Like @rappee25407 said, leather may work better than veneer.

Post it on the discord contest! As of now I’m not sure there are any entries, easy win!

Edit: 1 entry, still great odds :slight_smile:

Well, thanks to everyone’s encouragement :heart:, I cleaned up the design and made one. I’ll post it over on Free Laser Designs.
