RE: Momaster12's Fake Card Showcase

These cards aren't half bad although the some of the images are stretched unevenly. There are also many basic grammar and spelling errors (Fennekin: "Defendin", Pikachu: "iself") including not finishing sentences will periods. Most of the wording seems fine though, to my knowledge. Talonflame's attack however I believe should read:

Flip a coin. If tails, Talonflame does 30 damage to itself.

Other problems I also see are various positioning errors. But you should get those right as you continue making and researching cards.

RE: Momaster12's Fake Card Showcase

Thanks so much for the feedback!

Every card seen here will go through an awesome change soon so stay tuned!
Tomorrow, (as little nudge to my birthday... which is tomorrow...) I will be adding a birthday themed card, the logo of the set, and maybe the pack design.

Also, I've been working on a card and I was wonder how to word this:

Spoiler

As long as this Pokémon is in play, any damage done to your Active and Benched Pokémon from your opponent’s Pokémon’s attack is reduced by ___. Additionally, any damage done to your opponent’s active and benched Pokémon does ___ more damage (after applying weakness and resistance for active and benched Pokémon).

What era are you needing it for? Assuming that you're sticking with the E-era, I think it should be something like this:

As long as _______ is in play, reduce all damage done to your Pokémon by __. Any damage done to your opponent's Pokémon does __ more damage (after applying Weakness and Resistance). Apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.

I'll wait for the "awesome change" before I comment on your cards.

I'm actually going to be using BW era.

So like I said, I have a special card I would like to show off:

Spoiler

With that, I will be changing the blanks and probably the artwork for the already shown off cards. This being the 'change' I spoke of before. All of the cards will be updated by Friday afternoon (hopefully).

I will also be revealing a new type of card in the coming days. Hopefully, I will be done by the end of this weekend.

RE: Momaster12's Fake Card Showcase

Happy Birthday!

Really cute card. Also love the blank you chose. I don't really have any changes to suggest except maybe putting "happy birthday" in the attack effect inside quotation marks.

As for the wording on the effect you were asking about, I'm not entirely sure, since I don't really do BW fakes much. If no one else replies, the best you can do is look through scans and try to find cards with similar effects and bend them to work for yours.

RE: Momaster12's Fake Card Showcase

Thanks!

I've decided to post everything at once this Monday. It just seems easier this way for me.

 

[Momaster12]

RE: Momaster12's Fake Card Showcase

I greatly apologize that I didn't get everything updated. I have been super busy with other matters and with some features with this set. I'll try my best to get these finished by the end of next week. I have finished all but one of the cards already uploaded (Chespin). Here's the rest:

Spoiler

I've also finished another addition to the set, Noivern. I have two versions of the card with different artwork. One of which was very early fan art so the wings aren't exactly accurate, however I prefer this art. Tell me what you think!

Spoiler

I have prepared one more thing. Here it is:

Spoiler

One more thing, I would like to use BW-era wording but I think that some of the wording above isn't correct. If you know a better way to write that stuff, please feel free to make suggestions.

RE: Momaster12's Fake Card Showcase

All of them are good, but Talonflame should be a Stage 1 Pokémon as it's the evolved form of Fletchling. Otherwise, job well done.

Some very decent looking blanks there Momaster, nicely done

RE: Momaster12's Fake Card Showcase

/\ They're made by Metagross101. I keep telling him to join the forums!

Also, nice cards Momaster! Just take care to keep proportions when resizing artwork.

RE: Momaster12's Fake Card Showcase

Momaster12 can you edit your Pikachu card so that you have the original creators credit included?
The original creator is robert sanchez since the artwork was ripped in this.

@CMP: So it is. Thanks.

REAL nice blanks by the way. They look much smoother than the official ones.

Actually, Delta, I believe the original artist is coken.

RE: Momaster12's Fake Card Showcase

Thanks for the feedback!
So which Noivern would you suggest to use? And what would you like to see next, Mewtwo, Clauncher, or Vivillon?

Also, I looked for a while and couldn't find the original artist of the Pikachu so thanks a whole lot!

 

[CMP]

RE: Momaster12's Fake Card Showcase

Not a problem! If you ever find art and you're unsure of the artist, let me know and I can try to help out.

As for the Noivern, I'd absolutely go with the first. Not only does it look more professional (and by professional I mean it looks more like something that would be printed on card), but the glow effect is awesome.

RE: Momaster12's Fake Card Showcase

I don't have much of an idea about how modern faking is going but looking at what I am seeing here, these are pretty darn good.
Keep it up!

RE: Momaster12's Fake Card Showcase

These are great! And, man, you're getting help from some of the best pokebeach fakers! You should be proud! As CMP said, the first Noivern is better. Anyway to remove that line on the card?

I've been trying to persuade TheAlphaRanger of Deviantart to do the exact same thing. Otherwise, Talonflame looks tons better with the correction. Job well done, Momaster.

 

[Momaster12]

RE: Momaster12's Fake Card Showcase

I really appreciate all the feedback, it really means a lot to me. Thanks!
I'll be using the first Noivern and will update by tomorrow.

What line are you referring to? The separating bar?
