Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 For those of u who don't want to buy one/pay someone to do it, here's an easy way I tried recently. NOTE: You need to have GIMP, MS Paint (programs) and Dark Synchro Stars to do it. Here's what you do: [spoiler=Steps] 1. Go locate your picture2. Find it and save it to computer3. Open this site up4. Make your card (Name, Attribute, Level, ATK/DEF, rarity, etc.). Do not put picture in, you'll do it later. Any Level will do, you'll just black it out. Settings should be Monster/EffectIn the Monster Type box, put your desired Type / Dark SynchroPut the 1 non-Tuner + 1 Dark Tuner summon + the effect (don't forget to put the following before the card's effect [spoiler=effect] In order to Special Summon this card, subtract the Level of a Dark Tuner monster from the Level of 1 other monster you control; the value must equal the Level of this card. 5. Save your card YOU NEED GIMP FOR THIS NEXT PART. 1. Open GIMP2. Find your saved card3. Open it4. Go to Colors and click Desaturize. Choose the top option, it makes it look similar to a real Dark Synchro5. Save it Now open Microsoft Paint if you have it: 1. Go to Edit/click "Paste from"2. Paste card from there3. Go to Edit/click "Paste from" to get the pic for card (I did say don't paste it until now)4. Size your picture/render to make it fit on the card. 5. Now click the color option at bottom/choose a gray that will blend with the card's background6. Choose the rectangle button/cover up the levels on the card7. Now repeat step 1 and get your Dark Synchro Stars8. Paste them on (be sure to position them correctly)9. Repeat steps 7-8 until you have your desired level.10. Save your card11. You're done. EXAMPLE: -what your end product should look like...I made TCG English version of Monkey King Zeman just so you can see You're welcome to post your results up/I can critique you on what to do if you think it's screwed up. I try to make it understandable, but hopefully this works out. Enjoy, + reps appreciated :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kzownsall Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 No offence, But your example is quite bad compared to some other peoples.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted May 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 ok i have gimp i'll try if it works out for me i'll give you 2 repsok i done the part in the gimp but i'm stuck on the part were you go to paint first how do i put the picture in the card second how do i do the blue stars and 3 how do i send in pictures from my saved pictures #1. First you should go to GIMP again and shrink it to about 200x200, then it'll work perfectly. Save that image#2. Place the blue stars where the original ones are#3. Go to Edit and select Paste From. Get the image you just shrunk down, you can edit the size to your liking when it's on the card. Sorry I couldn't be more specific, but it's kinda hard to explain.

Cin Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Result looks nothing like a Dark Synchro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted May 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Well I didn't expect anyone to read/follow it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skuldur Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 I have made a Dark Synchro with GIMP and it turned out much better than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted May 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Well that is because I used MS Paint and GIMP to make it. Why MS Paint adds the other stuff (ugly colored outlines) is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kzownsall Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 I was talking about the attribute and the border of the picture, the card and text. They should be in colour. [spoiler=my example] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted May 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Well when I try to undo it, thing doesn't work, but that's just the system... tried to follow computerwhiz's tutorial, but never work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kzownsall Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Actually, i do it a different way.[spoiler=Real simple way] just set saturation, add stars, then add these onto the card [spoiler=Then do this] Add one of these atrributes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ŞťřïЖЄѓ™ Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Not exactly what a dark synchro would look like, but it is a nice outcome, but not the best. Keep trying! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted May 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Thanks Striker, I followed another D.Synchro Tutorial (computerwhiz98's) one and so it's al;f his and half mine. But I'll try harder to make Dark Synchros look better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SataroMiyaki Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 I created my own synchro monster card using some of your methods, but a lot of the things you said and did threw me off and messed me up a bit but I found a way to still make a dark synchro, even though it has many flaws such as it does not say dark synchro and some of the card coloring is off, but oh well, I would like an opinion on what I have done, as I said its not the best but here it is ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted June 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 This thread is a month old, use the newer tutorial that requires GIMP ONLY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SataroMiyaki Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Yeah I know its a month old, I just was bored and decided to post in here anyway.and this was not made in Gimp it was made in just paint lol even so its still a piece of crap card since it has many faults but oh well.

SataroMiyaki Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 I have Gimp2 and I don't really know how to use it, since my uncle added it for me but never taught me how to use it, so your steps in that other topic kinda confuse me a lot lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
