When this guy's work first hit the scene, I was panning the crap out of it - it had a lot of amateur-level flaws to it.

He's improved DRAMATICALLY.  They're not the world's greatest, at least not to my own personal tastes, but I'm particular - I can see where these have a huge appeal potential and that there's a solid audience for this kind of work.  I'm not surprised that he hit his goal in a single day - I'm just surprised that he didn't set a higher goal for a better quality printer, because I think he could have had these made with Legends or Expert, no problem.  I have to give credit where it's due, and he's got a design with market savvy and a target audience that's squarely in his sights.  Pricing at $13 (I'm not certain, but it may include shipping!) is a decent price for this.

Bravo, Ember Waves - I applaud your work.  Congratulations on your present success and I hope to see more and better in the future!
