Dead Hobby

1 min read
Hey all. I would to start by apologizing and thanking you all. Why apologize? Because I didn't manage correctly my free time during the holidays and forgot this awesome hobby, and I really enjoy doing what I do and all your support! Now, school's started and I actually got a very awesome schedule, just morning classes. That means that I'll have time to fix this sloppiness and start working on Fake TCG again! I hope all of you are as happy as I am for this, got some pretty cool ideas already!

Again, I wanna thank this awesome community for every love I get, you're truly awesome!

Preprints

1 min read
Hey guys, I was wondering if someone had seen or even has saved on their computer Pokémon Preprinted cards up to the HGSS-era (that includes ex, DPPt, Neo and pretty much anything else). I know there are some BW-era preprints, I have about 8 or so, and I was curious whether there were or not available online.

Thanks. (:

Do you hate trolls? What a coincidence, I hate them too :D well, accordingly to our budy here, :iconsuggest:, "99% of the pokemon card is the art and other 1% is the font and color of the border whitch no one gives a shit about". I don't really think this guy as much idea what really is behind all the fake cards, especially if you make the blanks, which was my case. So let's see, a card=art, border and text? So, no textures, no symbols, no funky bars? Sorry, but no, we have the borders, the texture, and all the funky techy bars in our blank. Then, we put in the text, and not some crazy font "whitch no one gives a shit about", they are selected with patience, until it looks realistic. After that, we get our symbols, which by the way are all free to use, never saw symbols which I couldn't use, and finally, we have the art. Yeah, "the art is most difficult part", it depends, just go on google, type in the name of your pokémon and you'll see lots of OFFICIAL Pokémon wallpapers which are free to use, or you can go to deviantART, or other websites, and if you like the art, ask permission to use it! Unless you see a Creative Commons License, which I use in all my cards, and that means, you can use it if you want to, just credit me, never forget this part, credit. Some say that that is the most difficult part, I say, the attacks are the most difficult part, as I sometimes like to come up with attacks on my own. Now tell me, if you don't look at the art of a fake card, or even a official card, would you say it is just 1% of the total card? I thought that too (:

SB out, 1502!

:iconflamingclaw:

At first, the card is great. Pretty much accurate and with the right fonts. The wording seems correct, and I can't seem to find one mistake, just that Colour, in Colour Storm, altough FlameClaw's from England, the TCG uses american-english, should be Color. One more thing that I noticed was that he didn't use the 'POWER alligment rule'. And by that I mean if there is a Poké-POWER then every attack shiftes to the same pixel (width) as the Poké-POWER. Overall nice card, he made a very good choice in the background and on the Lugia itself.

I give him 91 out of 100

:iconheroofsinnoh:

I won't evaluate the blank altough I'll take it in mind when writing this. The wording could be a bit better and he forgot some commas. He used the 'POWER alligment rule' correctly. I think that Hyperdrive is a bit overpowered, I mean 70 total damage done? I know I said that I wouldn't critique the blank but still, I think that the sprite in the evo-box is a bad choise. About the art there isn't much to say, Machamp doens't really blend in with the background and the holo is a bit dummy.

I give him 86 out of 100

:iconlatios101:

A rather simple card by Latios101, I think it is pretty much good. But as being simple, I does take away the chances of making a mistake, but then again, he made the blank, which looks pretty much official and the artwork too. Simple, yet effective. The retreat cost symbols are a bit pixelated on the border because of the circles in the blanks.

I give him 89 out of 100

:iconicycatelf:

Karite made this LEGEND card back when we didn't know Reshiram's and Zekrom's so I won't blame him for not doing the dual blanks. I think that Perpetuity is a bit overpowered, he could have put in something like 'You can't use this more than twice a game.' Another thing is that Alex used, and still does, the old HGSS symbols. I think that when he made this LEGEND we already had some HQ symbols. Finally, the artwork. I think that the artwork is somewhat bad, mainly because the card is JPG'd

I give him 87 out of 100



So I guess we have our winner. FlamingClaw, congrats :D I kinda have a problem because IDK what's the prize, I mean my imagination failed on me :c So someone who can remember a good prize, let me know, please :b
