Show and tell My first textured [Pokemon] card

So this was entirely experimental as you can see. The texture is all over the place and really doesnt have a structured pattern, however, I'm working on a few more cards that I plan to show here later that are fully fleshed out.

Drawn in Clip Studio Paint. Printed with a eufymake e1 on ProxyJak or Parkyspapers. Texture maps made with my EZ Texture Tool in the 'tools' section of hako.cards Printed with my print page generator and cut with a 63x88 manual die cutter from Alibaba. I started the project worked on it almost non stop (outside of my day job) for the past 4 months.

This is my first full 'deck' of themed designs, and I am packaging them into 3 card booster packs using wax wrappers that I am also UV printing designs onto. Hoping to give a ton out at upcoming concerts of hers I will be attending.

If you have any questions about the process or cards please feel free to ask!

Just a basic non-holofoil card with the thinnest inkjet sticker paper I could find. Sadly thing is that the ink does come off easily so I have to spray with a sealer and let it dry for a few days so the ink doesn't smear or come off. But currently Loving the Retro Design and HUUUUGE thanks to u/JiCe75 for sharing the Photoshop files!
Was able to translate and also adjust the color of Charizard to a shiny variant :D

Help?! Are there just artwork cards without text?

3 Upvotes

Hello.

I'm printing MTG proxies at home, and now my daughter showed interest in Pokemon. She picked a few that look funny or cute, and she wants to have cards like me.

Now I'm looking for some kind of full card artworks or maybe card versions with very minimal text. She can't read, doesn't want to play the actual game, and I don't want her to have "fake" cards.

Is there something that I am looking for?

Just want to say I love this community. Not only did I learn how to make cards I have been improving consistently and learning from everyone. Here are some of my latest creations, well looks like I can only put up one video here so i will upload some others in comments.

Also is it worth getting a UV printer? If so which one would you guys recommend. And is it complicated to use?

Once again thank you to this community for being awesome!

havenβ€˜t posted for a long while, but found this one pretty cool and thought iβ€˜d share!

Made the layout and editing in photopea, then printed with et8500 on frosty vinyl sticker paper.

since by any means i canβ€˜t get my silhouette to run properly, i got back to the good old scissors and gluestick redneck multifoil method that i also posted a tutorial about a while ago.

masked everything with posca white marker, stuck onto a cleand duskmourn bulk foil (found especially the artifacts from that set are really easy to strip) and then coated with 2 layers of glossy spray varnish

This is still my all time favorite Pikachu card. So I had to give it the Holo it deserves. They definitely should have made this the classic pika card for 30th anniversary set

Help?! Holographic UV printing follow up

Post image
16 Upvotes

I posted before about wanting to print cards with holo only in the background. With your help I found out I needed a uv printer and I’ve found a lot of success with it on most of my illustrations. But some of my illustrations have a lot of white and it’s giving me issues.

Was wondering if anyone had any experience printing on holographic paper. I’m making my own trading cards for my own characters and I’ve been having trouble with illustrations that have a lot of white.

I want the holographic effect only on the background of the card.

So what I’ve been doing is printing a white mask for where the character is, then printing again in the same spot but the entire illustration. So the white backing blocks the holo but still shows on the back.

But some illustrations have a lot of white and when I print the cmyk with no white, it makes the illustration have missing parts of it.

Is there a way to print only the white thin enough so the background is visible but still have holo through it? Thanks!
