TCG Fakes Neo Redux: A Triumphant Return? (Image Based) // Gee, you're big.

RE: Neo Redux: 23 to go! UPDATE: Less than 5 per gen to go! Gracidea flower! (9/16/13)

^ Fraxureking has a very valid point regarding the number of cards he has to do, and the number of days there are left until the 12th October (Mathematically). ;)

Oh wow.. These are truly amazing. You have inspired me for faking. I have a little question that you might've been asked before. Here are my questions:

How did you "create" them into real life cards?
How did you do the HOLO pattern?
How did you do the packs? ( the material mostly )
Can i have the links to the blanks/holo patterns?
 
RE: Neo Redux: 21 to go! UPDATE: Less than 5 per gen to go! Gracidea flower! (9/16/13)

I can answer questions #1 and #3: those pictures were both created in Photoshop. As sexy as those packs and cards look, they don't exist like that in real life. CMP is a wily devil.

:O omg those look so real o-o; well thanks for answering and i already got the other 2 tackled. Thanks!
 
RE: Neo Redux: 18 to go! UPDATE: All but 4 cards done -- just need art! (9/17)

<3 DNA! Best spoiler maker/awesome guy/answering machine on the boards!

Thanks a lot, Robot_Fishy. In addition to the answers DNA gave, I can answer questions #2 and #4. The holo effect is done in Photoshop using what I like to call a "holonator"/holosheet and several different layer blending modes. The exact modes differ from card to card; I have a base setting that I alter individually (depending on background brightness and color). My techniques are constantly evolving; you can tell earlier cards apart based on the holosheet used. I finally decided to rip my own as the old one wasn't as accurate. For resources, we have a stickied resource thread (which I actually need to PM Ice Arceus about...sorry IA!), and you can find a collection of my blanks on my deviantART account.

Here's some new cards, guys!

Thanks to DNA for Giratina spoilers!

Great news...I've finished almost all of the cards! Just missing some art. There's about 4 more to go...Chansey, Slaking, Dusclops, and Sawsbuck.

You frogot Cryognal. Will you use my spoiler?
 
RE: Neo Redux: 18 to go! UPDATE: All but 4 cards done -- just need art! (9/17)

I didn't forget it...I only named the cards that aren't completed. :p The others are done and just waiting on art.

Ah... thanks for pointing that out. Also, I'm digging that Giratina. Very nice job there.

Thanks, Reggie!

RE: Neo Redux: 11 to go! UPDATE: Bye, bye Unova region!!! (9/17)

Wow! Only 11 to go?! Man, that is fantastic! All that's left to do now (should you decide to save the Eeveelutions for last) are Chansey, Dragonite, Silcoon and Cascoon.
 
RE: Neo Redux: 9 to go! UPDATE: Bye, bye Unova region!!! (9/18)

Final 9! Updates a plenty (Hoenn starters, Steelix, etc.), and Dragonite and Chansey!

As Kangaflora guessed, the Eeveelutions are last -- creating a nice bridge between my last cards of Neo Redux 1.0 and the first of Neo Redux 2.0, Sylveon!

Silcoon and Cascoon are a WIP. While the cards themselves are done, I'm still working on the artwork (which isn't going great).

Thanks to Alex for the Chansey artwork!

Egg Trotter:

"Flip a number of coins up to the number of Pokemon in play. This attack does 30 damage times the number of heads. Then, Chansey does 20 damage times the number of tails to itself."

RIP? Are you sure? What about FORMES, huh?
 
RE: Neo Redux: Done. Finished. Complete. 649 Pokémon+. RIP Neo Redux (For now...)!

Congratulations CMP! It's been a pleasure watching (in my opinion) the greatest faker ever finish the seemingly impossible goal.

Will you attempt to do all the formes before XY come out?
