RE: Some fakes...

Most of your fonts are ok , but I still advise you to download FC's font guide . I like the artwork on every card , and the attack seem to be alright . I give you a 7/10 because of the font guide and you use some DP symbols instead of HGSS symbols . Change that and this will be awesome ^^

EDIT: And that big © on the card should disappear .
 
RE: Some fakes...

10x for your feedback :) you're right about the fonts, I need to change them, and regarding the watermark, it's a bit of a habit I have from shcool as we keep being told to always protect our work haha
 
RE: Some fakes...

Of course we need to protect our work . Just use a CC license .
I've got the links to the font guide and the symbols right here ^^

Font Guide
Symbols

There's also a PNG version of the symbols but I prefer the PSD .
 
RE: Some fakes...

Love the artwork bro, Bill just explained most of the things. The symbol sheet link is a .psd so you will need Photoshop to open it. If you don't have it, try the .png version of it :).

Also, remember, that font guide doesn't apply to everything. There are different different blanks and they have different font placements and different wordings. So, if you wanna get to the top you'll have to get familiar with all :).
 
RE: Some fakes...

Your cards are really good :) As previously mentioned, some of the fonts are off. I also see a few lighting problems with the main card art. Poliwrath, for example, needs to have the light over it's face be more translucent, as the main part of the card should be well-visible.


Can't wait to see more :D
 
RE: Some fakes...

Nice work! I don't know too much about HGSS cards (I strictly Neo fake), but these do look good. What can be said has already been explained by more experienced HGSS-era fakers. And like Bill said, I don't think the copyright the whole card is necessary -- in my 10+ years faking, there's never been a problem of people stealing others' cards. If it's the art you want to protect, just put the symbol over that. :)
 
RE: Some fakes...

10x for all the suggestions and help. I'm working the outline of my drawings in Illustrator the doing the colouring in Photoshop. I'm still working on my skills to produce 3d effects on flat art. I might be better off doing art like Poliwrath's in 3d studio max, etc...
 
RE: Some fakes...

So it seems you have Photoshop. That'll make things a lot easier for you :). Also, if you are sticking to the official format, only shiny, Lv.X and LEGEND cards and the 3D popout.
Also, Poliwrath card's symbols are incorrect. You need the HGSS symbols which either be found on the card resource in Pokebeach (look for the stickied thread in the Fake Creations forum.)

If you're looking for a more versatile faking career you may want to download the all in one symbolsheet that would save your trouble from downloading 1 million symbolsheets out there ;).

All in One Symbolsheet
 
RE: Some fakes...

The arr for these look pretty sweet. I would love to an art trade with you, but that's discussion elsewhere. The problem is I can't say anything as everyone else has said it.
 
RE: Some fakes...

These cards are really sweet, Roderick!!!!!
Love the Poliwrath one!
The C was annoying, though....
 
RE: Some fakes...(Bellossom Update)

10x to everyone for the feedback especially ShinyBill and HeroesOfSinnoh for giving me links to helpful resources :)
 
RE: Some fakes...(Bellossom Update)

Now that Bellossom is just awesome. You did a great job a capturing Bellossom's cuteness ª-ª... A little overpowered though.
 
RE: New Dawn...(Larvitar Update)

Hadn't updated in a while...hopefully I'll post some more cards today :)
Thanks for the positive comments :)
 
RE: New Dawn...(Clefable Update)

Thanks :) Finally found some time to make another card, hope you all like it :)
 
RE: New Dawn...(Vulipx Update)

It's been a while since my last update, I've also been trying a new art style for my cards so I hope you'll like it...
