RE: Reggie McGigas's Fake Cards. New- UNSEEN PRESSURE!!!!!

Why thank you!

That probably is it, are you going to be using the same border as your shiny venusaur? (I think its you)

My Shiny Venusaur? Don't you mean Blui's?

(I will use his blanks for my shiny cards)

EDIT: Yeah I did firey punch on purpose. It sounded cool-ish, so I put it in.

Well, here you go.

I did say I'd make 2 promos, but I only made 1 because I will enter the second in the CAC if it is a steel type CAC.

The next update will most likely have electric types.

Your fonts are looking better. They're still not perfect, but they're better than last time (or maybe my memory is dying). Pokemon name could be a little thinner, HP is pretty much perfect, attack name looks iffy but I think its right (oh, by the way, I don't think abilities should be pink), damage is aligned wrong (I see that it's aligned right, do align left, or manually shift it, but aligning it is faster in the long run), Specs could be shifted up a few pixels, and you're the wrong font for flavour text (only fix I can think of is downloading the right font (sanvito pro)).

I'm making these with the font guides, so nearly everything is are correct. Times New Roman looks better then Sanvito pro in my opinion, and ability color is correct.

I've been lurking in this thread for a while, and I must say, your cards have definitely improved overtime. And this new batch looks really great! I must say, very well done. The Genesect is probably my favorites. I also like the Salamance.

A side note: The real Lugia EX's HP is 180, not 170.

Who's fontguides?

I reckon he's still using mine, as I don't know of any other GIMP guides. Even the correct fonts will look off, since GIMP doesn't render text as accurately as Photoshop and you can't edit font width.

The damage alignment is kind of my fault. However, I purposely aligned it left because aligning it right cuts off a pixel or two of the last character for some reason. It's up to the faker to manually move the text box left when using three digits (though I should have thought to make a placeholder for that, which I think I did do for HP). Nevermind. I just looked back at the guide and I do have placeholders for three-digit damage.

The specs are downa bit too far because the guide was made for ShinyBill's blanks, not asche's. Actually, I did make one for asche's blanks later, so I'm not sure what happened there. As for the Ability color, I think I sampled it from a scan of a Musharna card or something. I think it looks different on other textures.

I don't know why the fonts are getting messed up like this, I'll take a look at it soon. I am using Nekoban Ryo's Font Guides.

Progress for the next update
Rotom: 100%
Tynamo: 100%
Elektrik: 100%
Elektross: 0%

The artwork this time is eh. The genesect is great, but lugia looks.... different.

Yeah, sometimes you can't find artwork that fits a card. I was considering using the col pack art lugia, but Blui just made a lugia ex not that long ago with the same art and I didn't feel like making a card with the same artwork. I also considered using Xous' newer Lugia, but I didn't like the post. Sometimes you can't find quality art that you think you look good with the card, so you have to make the art yourself. That's why my Rotom that I am making has my own artwork.

Plus, you don't want to use the same artist's artwork over and over.

So you drew this yourself, huh? Not bad drawing skills.

?

Not the lugia artwork, no. That was Xous

RE: Reggie McGigas's Fake Cards. New- an EX FA, a promo, and a fix!

Yeah, I know I already used 'Bringing the thunder' as a title. It was so nice I used it twice!

I won't be making cards as I'm on vacation for a while. When I get back, prepare for more fakes!

 

[Salamencetrainer34]

RE: Reggie McGigas's Fake Cards. New- an EX FA, a promo, and a fix!

Ugh! no more fakes for a while! Dang! Those are as usual, top notch. Excited to see more from you.

RE: Reggie McGigas's Fake Cards. New- Bringing The Thunder

Not bad! Somewhat disappointing to see the same background used for both Rotom and Tynamo, though. I've also never caught this before, but it looks like you let the background through the outer edges of the blanks...I'd try deleting them to take advantage of the PNG blanks!

Whoops,I just noticed that I used the same background for both cards. Obviously that will be fixed by the next update. Also I might delete the backgrounds at the edges from now on.

These are very nice cards indeed, but a small thing: you misspelt Eelektrik

Wow, too many errors.


Also...

I actually made this a while ago, so there will probally be errors.

 

[Reggie McGigas]

RE: Reggie McGigas's Fake Cards. New- Bringing The Thunder (featuring Genesect)

Finally, at long last, more cards! The biggest reason why these were so late is because my computer is unusually slow. Here they are! 8 new cards!

Spoiler

I can honestly say I'm not sure when the next update is, I'm going to be pretty busy and my computer is very slow all of a sudden.

Oh and special shout out to salamancetrainer34 for the name.

RE: Reggie McGigas's Fake Cards. New- Back in full bloom! (Big Update)

Thanks for shout-out! And the pineco is probably my favorite!
