Here's an update with Serperior, Emboar, Samurott, and the first Item: Cherish Ball!
Not as good as Tropius, I think, but not bad, either. Here's Reshiram-EX!
Thanks, Reggie! I think the symbols are only weird because they go over the flames, though, which I will try to fix. I'm not too experienced with Photoshop flames, so consider this a rough draft. I'll practice more with it, and post a revised card when I feel it's done. In the meantime, could you possibly whip up a render, almost exactly like the one I'm using, but with the face close-up and the rest foreshortened, and the mouth open? Thanks if you can, and if you can't, I can probably figure something else out.
I'm losing track of how many times I've said this, but thanks, Reggie! I think the biggest problem I have with regular arts is getting the effect things to look right. I completely forgot about Photoshop's Liquify tool until I made that card, though. Anyway, it's much easier to not have to do that with full arts.Great job! The full art is your best fake so far and the regular art looks a lot better. I will be glad to make more renders for you when my computer is fixed!
