TCG Fakes Reggie McGigas's Image-Based Fake Cards: Wailmer and Wailord

RE: Reggie McGigas's Fake Cards. New- Cranking up the heat and bringing the thunder!

I was just looking through the resource thread earlier and noticed that the fonts in the PA! link don't work on my computer either (they have a really weird file extension that I don't recognize). Have you tried downloading them from a different source? If not, try this link: (link removed)

Nevermind, don't use that link. It's password-protected and you have to do some weird survey thing to unlock it. Try searching "Gill Sans Font Family Free" on Google.

EDIT: Try this one: http://somethingdesign.net/2012/10/gill-sans-font-family/ (it doesn't require a password)
 
RE: Reggie McGigas's Fake Cards. New- Cranking up the heat and bringing the thunder!

Guys, I have the fonts in normal extensions (TTF and such) and can send them to you if you'd like.
 
RE: Reggie McGigas's Fake Cards. New- Cranking up the heat and bringing the thunder!

Here is my new card, Plasma N FA!

9237429_orig.jpeg


Here it is! It took me a while to make this card because of unusually horrid internet and school. This will be my last card until summer begins. For now I will leave you with a little tid-bit from unseen pressure. It is a new mechanic I made up.
The new mechanic is the Shadow Pokemon. It will debut in Unseen Pressure. Some shadow cards in the set include Reshiram and Zekrom EX as well as Shadow Onix,Shadow Steelix, and Shadow Unown. How will this mechanic work? Find out in the next update :)

EDIT: Edited FAQ.

Doubleedit: I would also like to say that I will not be updating the fonts on my cards. Wayyyyyyyyy to much hassle and time to do, and I would really prefer not too. Plus my cards are kinda unique with a different font, and with a new mechanic makes it look more unqiue.
 
RE: Reggie McGigas's Fake Cards. New- The N'd is near!

Dude, just make your new cards using the proper fonts.

That's a really good way to look at it and I encourage uniqueness in faking but if you're going to use official symbols, artwork and blanks then using anything other than the proper font(s) just looks off. I assume at least one of the two was tailored to go with the other. If you used some other form of symbol and or blank then I would agree with you.
 
RE: Reggie McGigas's Fake Cards. New- The N'd is near!

The end is near? I thought that happened last December. :p

The effect text of FA trainers shouldn't overlap the little red bars. Look at this card to get a better idea of how to align it. You probably want to duplicate the "stroke" layer as well, to make it less fuzzy.

I'm also not a big fan of the texture used on N. It looks really blurry for some reason and doesn't really flow with the artwork. Maybe it would have been better to use that one for the background and the current background texture for N himself. Speaking of the background, you need to erase those corners.

As far as the fonts go, to be completely honest, it will probably be more of a hassle NOT to update the fonts. Don't expect people to stop pestering you about those so easily.

Updated N. Thanks guys for the tips! Also I gotta agree with Nekoban, the textures look better now.

Also, my dang nab computer won't let me download the fonts, but by editing and messing around with some fonts I've made a good looking font. I will debut this font in the next set so the cards in this set don't look all whacked up with 20 with one font and 20 with another. I want all of them to have the same font.

Also I am up for requests.

Also an update on the shadow pokemon in unseen pressure:
The shadow pokemon are not a new type, but they are different. They are similar to crystal Pokemon. All shadow Pokemon have this ability: This Pokemon is dark, psychic, and an extra type all at once but only one type at a time. Their attacks require dark and psychic energy instead of the Pokemon's normal type.

I will post a shadow Pokemon card soon.

RE: Reggie McGigas's Fake Cards. New- N 2.0

You are right, but this is a promo. You can use it, but then again there are only 2 other Plasma cards I have made, and they don't affect him. If this was an actual card it would be overkill. I wanted to make this because it would seem like it was made from when N was in Team Plasma.

Introducing the shadow Pokemon! Set to debut in my next set.

EDIT: Just noticed this ends my streak of 4 full art cards made in a row (Zapdos, Zapdos 2, Moltres, N)
Remember, credits are on my site.
 
RE: Reggie McGigas's Fake Cards. New- Shadow Pokemon!?!!?!?

Nice preview, but I feel that these Shadow Pokémon look a bit plain. If you'd like, I could try to edit a blank for them.

That would be cool! If it is possible, maybe it could be a normal blank with dark purple blobs on it, and maybe a purple symbolsheet? Also (if possible) I need a logo for Unseen Pressure. If you can do it, the colors should be purple and red, and the name should be italicized.

Thanks so much. You are a real help to my sets.
 
RE: Reggie McGigas's Fake Cards. New- Shadow Pokemon!?!!?!?

I don't think a purple symbol sheet would look too hot. It's probably better to use regular symbols. Anyway, here's what I came up with:

shadow_b_zpsb32f3fa3.png

shadow_s1_zps203cad6e.png

shadow_s2_fix_zps5dd20207.png


Made by altering ShiningBill's BW Plasma PSD. I prefer the Evolution blanks over the Basic one. The colors look a little different for some reason.

These should be filled out just like regular BW-series Pokémon, but use white text for the name, HP, and description. If you want them to have different type symbols, you should be able to change those pretty easily. However, I figure all of them will be Dark-type, like Advance-era Rocket's Pokémon, then the "Shadowy Aura" Ability can list the other types.

Also, I may or may not make the logo. Depends if I feel like it and have the time.

EDIT: I noticed that the wording of the Ability is wrong. You say that it is all three types at once, but only one at a time. This statement is contradicting. Instead, it should say "This Pokémon is [P], [D], and [C] type, but only 1 type at a time (you choose the type when you play this card from your hand). You may change this card's type when you take a Prize card."

YESSSSS! Seriously, you are the man. I can't thank you enough!

Here is Shadow Sigiliph (Dang that name)

Special Thanks to Nekoban Ryo.
 
RE: Reggie McGigas's Fake Cards. New- Shadow Pokemon!?!!?!?

Missing a period at the end of the power effect and the alignment of the flavour text needs tweaked (and its should be it's), but looking good.

The first person who gets the 'Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites' reference gets to choose the next Mysterious Adventures card I make.

EDIT: Just noticed a dark blob in the upper-right hand corner, no rare sign, and no holosheet for Yveltal EX FA, will fix that in the next update.

Also I won't be making any more Unseen Pressure cards 'till I finish Mysterious Adventures.
Unseen Presure Update (FINALLY!)
Deoxys :eek:
 
RE: Reggie McGigas's Fake Cards. New- Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites

The art looks a bit low on the new Full-Arts (part of Celebi's face is even covered). Yveltal would probably work if you moved it up, rotated it right, and made it a bit bigger (unless this is the full size of the pic), but I don't really see that Celebi working out for a Full-Art. Also, though I know it's ridiculously time-consuming, try outlining them in gold. It really helps bring the cards together.

Didn't notice it earlier, but the Psychic symbol in Shadow Aura should be after the Darkness symbol (symbols are usually arranged alphabetically, with the exception of Colorless - which is always listed last - and the card's type - which is always listed in front, excluding Colorless).

EDIT: Also, try moving that flavour text up about 2 px and right about 4 px, the illustrator credit down about 3 px, and set number and rarity down about 1 px. ShiningBill's blanks are a little different from aschefield101's, so the placement isn't exactly the same.
 
RE: Reggie McGigas's Fake Cards. New- Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites

Those Full-Arts seem very dark to me, and don't seem to stand out much. I don't know how you could make them brighter in Gimp, but I'm sure you could figure it out somehow.

I love the Shadow Pokémon concept, it reminds me of my own Mutant Pokémon concept. I like the card mechanics for the Shadow Pokémon, and I'm looking forward to seeing more :)
 
RE: Reggie McGigas's Fake Cards. New- Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites

Big update incoming!

@Nekoban Ryo - Thanks for telling me this! I fixed Yveltal EX (except for the font placement- I didn't notice that till now) but I didn't have time to do the others due to a busy weekend. Thanks for the advice!

@Articwhite- Thanks! I brightened up Yveltal. I'm glad you like the Shadow Pokemon!

@Flys Gone 2071- Double Weaknesses is a GREAT idea! Maybe I should implement it....

Also Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites is in fact a song. It is a Skrillex Reference.

Card behold!
