Thanks! :D

UPDATE:

Huh, I never did post the EstForor card here, did I? Well, here it is. Two others, auro luna and SilentBeckoning @GaiaOnline, helped me color him, since I can't do detailed work with this mouse of mine giving me problems. They each made colored versions and I blended them together, played around a bit with the lighting, and added some shiny effects and the background. I also made the card template. Let me know what you think about the set-up.

tcon_tcg_prototype__estforor_by_karite_kita_neko-d5qnwf6.png


Layout information:

The card's background color represents the creature's Terrain, where it can be played without penalty. These include green for the Forlands (forests), blue for the Qualands (bodies of water or ice), yellow for the Elands (electrically-charged lands), red for the Volands (lands of fire and magma), and grey for the Widlands (the sky).

The creature's name is on the card's upper left. The card's level (discussed later) determines how many creatures of the same name can be used in a deck.

Next to the name is the creature's Origin, from where or what it was born. This determines what kind of Power (discussed later) the creature is weak against.

Underneath that is the pretty artwork. :D

Below on the left is the card's Level. This can be Myth (lowest level), Mystic (middle level), or Legend (highest level). A player may not have more than 3 Myth-level creatures, 2 Mystic-level creatures, or 1 Legend-level creature(s) of the same name in their decks.

To the right is a set of three numbers. The first number represents the creatures offensive power (SRD), how much damage it can deal. The second number represents its defensive power (SLD), how much offensive power it can withstand. The last number represents the creatures speed (SPD), when it can move in for an attack.

Slightly below those in the middle is the card's Power, which determines what Origin it is strong against. For instance, a creature with a Flame Power would be strong against a creature of Forest Origin. It also determines if the creature gets a boost from being played on a certain Terrain. For instance, if a creature with an Insect Power is played in the Forlands, it may get +1 SRD.

Next is the creature's description or effect. If the creature has a certain requirement, there will be a lock icon with the requirements above it.

Then we have the art and copyright credit.

Also, on the subject of cards, I remade one of my cousins' old custom card game cards. He never really made a solid template for the game, since all of his cards were hand-drawn, so I tried to make one that looked more... real.

Kiss me, you fool!

And here's a picture I took this morning of ice on my bedroom window:

icy_down_by_karite_kita_neko-d5tk4lj.jpg


Kind'a looks like feathers, doesn't it? Maybe Articuno came to visit! No idea how I didn't hear that...

When life gives you snow, make the Loch Ness Monster!

snow_lapras_by_karite_kita_neko-d5tq9kl.jpg


I think this is the first decent snow we've had this winter, so I just had to go out and make something.

This may be the first time I've ever made a snow Pokémon. Surprising, right? I meant to make a snow Dunsparce last winter, but I ended up being too sick to get out and make anything. My sister made me one, though (I need to get her to upload the pics to her DA).

I knew I wanted to make an Ice-type Pokémon this time, but I wasn't sure which. I considered making my favorite Ice-type Pokémon, Froslass, but I had no idea how I would go about making it float... not that it would need to. Actually, its neck is so thin that the head probably wouldn't have stayed on. While browsing through my other options, I decided to make my sister's favorite Pokémon, Lapras.

I wasn't able to fine-tune the head as much as I wanted because the neck snapped and would've fell off if I tried. Three of the flippers are also a bit rough because I didn't do those until today and the snow isn't sticking together as well. I'm still pretty pleased with the result, though.

It's roughly 3 feet tall, 3 feet wide, and 4 feet long. I wanted to make it life-size, but I would've needed some help with that...

Nice stuff, Nekoban! c:

Excellent as usual.
 
RE: Neko's Art Showcase: Snow Lapras! Updated 02/03/13

Wow, I love your art! And that Snow Lapras is so cute!
 
RE: Neko's Art Showcase: Snow Lapras! Updated 02/03/13

Cool snow lapras! I started making a snow houndoom this year but I got to cold to finish it:( Great art as always Nekoban Ryo!!!

Pun not intended? XD

Houndoom would be tricky to make. I can imagine that the horns and tail would be a pain, but still unfortunate that you weren't able to finish it. I actually didn't get cold at all while I was making my Lapras. I was well-insulated (I actually got quite warm - and it was still snowing!). I wasn't wearing a snow hat or earmuffs, but my hair is currently thick enough to work as both. I only took a break in-between because I started getting tired and my legs ached for two days afterward.

Thanks! :D
 
RE: Neko's Art Showcase: An Ancient Elf and Alex's New Look [02/25/13]

UPDATE: Again, not much going on. I've had a few ideas, but I haven't managed to draw them yet.

Here's an Ancient Mew-style Azelf pic...
ancient_azelf_by_karite_kita_neko-d5vfmhs.png


Visit my fake cards thread to see how the card turned out!

Some Pokémon type tag graphics...
pokemon_type_tags_by_karite_kita_neko-d5v936a.png


I'm thinking about making Pokédex sheets for my Fakemon using these.

And a chibi drawing of my Gym Leader OC sporting a new attire...
chibi_alex_ace__small_version__by_karite_kita_neko-d5w5iyz.png


I'll try to draw a normal-style picture of him later. I can't quite draw much at the moment...

Also, DOESN'T HE LOOK ADORABLE WITH HIS NEW HAIR CLIP? *sparkly eyes*
 
RE: Neko's Art Showcase: An Ancient Elf and Alex's New Look [02/25/13]

Those are some nice graphics you have there. The Azelf is simple yet really nice to look at. Are you going to use it in a card?

The type headings are a great addition too, except that I don't think the gray gradient benefits some of the types. Like Grass or Electric.

You certainly caught the cutesy feel of the Gym Leader. The thick lines and the one line shading of the hair really make it adorable. Not to mention the two different coloured eyes.

Great work as usual!
 
RE: Neko's Art Showcase: An Ancient Elf and Alex's New Look [02/25/13]

Very cool stuff here! Reminding me of making a Pokédex again (NOT sprites...)

Thanks! I've already made a card with the Ancient Azelf pic. Check out my random cards thread in Fake Creations. :)

I agree with you on the type headings. The levels or contrast should probably be tweaked a bit more to get rid of the dull gray look. I'll make some changes to them whenever I get around to using them.

I'm glad you think my chibi is cute, too. Thanks! :D

Thanks! I have no idea when I'll get around to making mine. I've been thinking about working on my Fakemon project again and I've had a few recent ideas, but I can't quite draw them out yet.
 
RE: Neko's Art Showcase: I'm a fluffy hippo-otter [02/28/13]

UPDATE: I doodled myself as a fluffy Slowpoke with whiskers.

slow_sml_zpsa2b2fecb.png


I'm pretty laid back and I like taking my time, though I often put things off too long. I do not enjoy physical activity, but I like to stay occupied to some degree. I tend to live life at my own lazy pace, waiting for an opportunity to grab me by the tail.
 
RE: Neko's Art Showcase: I'm a fluffy hippo-otter [02/28/13]

Cool!! Love the fluffy look:)

Fluffy Slowpoke are the best! Thanks!

UPDATE: Fallen Angels Emblem/Logo...

fallen_angels_emblem_by_karite_kita_neko-d5x3eli.png


This is the emblem for the villains in my fan game project. The Fallen Angels are a group of power-hungry adults who once belonged to part of the Pokémon government, but were kicked out because they wanted to use Pokémon for war and global control.
 
RE: Neko's Art Showcase: Angels have fallen... 03/05/13

I wish I could make logos... I'm so bad at that kind of stuff. My logos are always over the top. Good job! It looks really cool, keep it up!

Thanks! I learned a lot about logos in the Corporate Design class I took 2 years ago. I really enjoyed that class and I like designing logos. :)

Maybe you could help me design some insignias for the story I've been working on... That would be pretty cool...
 
RE: Neko's Art Showcase: Updated 04/19/14

UPDATE: I'm sorry I've abandoned you for so long, art thread. T_T

This is my first update in a little over a year, so here's a fairly-large art dump...

At the time I made this, its name hadn't been revealed. That's why it says "Mewthree" instead of "Mega Mewtwo."

http://karite-kita-neko.deviantart.com/art/Potatoes-407541966

These were actually for a non-Pokémon project that died a while back, so I turned them into Fakemon.

I plan to eventually make the rest of this Digivolution line, but who knows when that will happen...

New "KKN Graphics" Logo (12/04/13):
another_kkn_logo__by_karite_kita_neko-d6wqav9.png

eevee_vector_by_karite_kita_neko-d70coat.png

http://karite-kita-neko.deviantart.com/art/Eevee-Vector-423854597

Not sure why I didn't give it a proper background on this original. It has one on the card I made with it, though (see my Fake Cards thread).

Updated "The Caper of Knaio" Symbols (03/24/14):

I changed my favorite Bug-type Pokémon (previously Joltik) to Mothim. Specifically, Dunsparce-colored Mothim.

http://karite-kita-neko.deviantart.com/art/Random-Kj-kun-Sketch-2-448382840

I haven't drawn traditionally in forever, so I thought I should try again.
 
RE: Neko's Art Showcase: Updated 04/19/14

What a glorious crate of goodies! I...honestly want prints of those Chansey, Mothim and Mewthree posters. They look really cool.
And what did do for those Glassy Kanto Badges? Just Photoshop magic?
