color suggestions please

[workinforwood]

I need to make a pen with a molar tooth on it. That's no problem at all, a molar is pretty simple and it is white. Some suggestions on what color I should make the background sure would be nice though. It's for a dentist. Keep in mind too, that if I pour a backdrop with several colors, then the tooth will get lost in the color chaos. At the same time...a white tooth in a plain black background seems a little blah.

A dark maroon or burgundy might work. Even a Royal Blue.

I'd love to see the finished product. Sounds interesting...

That sounds nice Mark...one or the other with just a splash of the second choice. Probably the Burgandy with a light splash of deep blue would be cool.

for some reason I was really struggling coming up with a color choice.

Male or female dentist?

Will it be a 'serious' pen or a 'fun' pen?

Pink and white swirl( gums ) with bright red 'blood drops':tongue:

For a dentist why not try to match the color of healthy gums?

If they were from around here the proper color would be Meth head purple.

You guys/gals are some real sicko's! :biggrin:

I'm going to stick with something non-gender specific...like what Mark says..although my wife says Burgandy and blue don't go together, but burgandy with green or gold will work well.

Thanks..you freaks! :wink:

There, I did it. It's kinda like a Burgandy although tough to tell in the photo, with just a splash of gold and green. Much less that might appear in the photo's, but should give the blank just a bit of character. I actually like it, although I don't like dentists...er well, I don't like dentists when they are working on me.

I am not making a pen, I just had someone that wanted a blank with a molar tooth in it is all, and hopefully he'll like one of these. Can't imagine it to be a popular item, but this guy likes his Dentist, to each his own.

Hey Jeff is the tooth an infill with resin or are you doing that like an inlay. ??? Thanks

 

[hewunch]

Those blanks have some real bite to them :biggrin:

They look cool too.
