Kato_Zenamara Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Yes, I made Halo cards. Yes, they actually look like they WEREN'T made by a noob.[spoiler=Installations][spoiler=Halo Ring Lore]When this card is summoned, Special Summon as many "The Flood" cards from your hand as possible. When 1 "The Flood" card you control is destroyed, summon 1 "Guilty Spark Token" (Machine-Type/LIGHT/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0) in defense mode. When you control no "The Flood" monsters or "Guilty Spark Tokens", destroy this card. [spoiler=The Ark's Lore]1 "Installation 01 - Halo Ring" + 1 "Installation 02 - Halo Ring" + 1 "Installation 03 - Halo Ring" + 1 "Installation 04 - Halo Ring" + 1 "Installation 05 - Halo Ring" + 1 "Installation 06 - Halo Ring" + 1 "Installation 07 - Halo Ring"This card can only be Fusion Summoned with the above fusion materials. When this card is Fusion Summoned, destroy all cards on the field except this card and any "The Flood" monsters. All "The Flood" monster cannot attack and are destroyed 3 turns after this card's summon. Neither players can summon any "The Flood" monsters as long as this card remains on the field. As long as there are "The Flood" monsters on the field, neither player can summon any monsters other than "The Flood" monsters. [spoiler=The Flood][spoiler=Infector's Lore]When this card attacks or is attacked, equip it to the other monster involved in the attack instead of inflicting battle damage or destroying this card (A monster can only by equipped with 1 Union Monster at a time. If the equipped monster would be destroyed, destroy this card instead.) Take control of the equipped monster, and activate 1 of the following effects:- If this card is equipped to a "UNSC" monster, tribute it and Special Summon 1 "The Flood - UNSC" from your hand or deck.- If this card is equipped to an "The Covenant - Elite" monster, tribute it and Special Summon 1 "The Flood - Elite" from your hand or deck.- If this card is equipped to a "Brute" monster, tribute it to Special Summon 1 "The Flood - Brute" from your hand or deck.- If this card is equipped to a "Grunt" monster, tribute it to Special Summon 1 "The Flood - Grunt" from your hand or deck. [spoiler=Stalker's Lore]Once per turn, you can equip this card to a "The Flood" monster you control OR unequip it to Special Summon this card in face-up attack position. (A monster can only by equipped with 1 Union Monster at a time. If the equipped monster would be destroyed, destroy this card instead.) When this card is equipped to another card, activate 1 of the following effects:- If this card is equipped to 1 "The Flood - Elite", "The Flood - Brute", "The Flood - Grunt", or "The Flood - UNSC", tribute it to Special Summon 1 "The Flood - Ultimate Tank" from your hand or deck.- If this card is equipped to any "The Flood" monster not listed above, tribute it to Special Summon 1 "The Flood - Ranged" from your hand or deck. [spoiler=Gravemind's Lore]1 "Halo Ring - Destruction" + All "The Flood" monsters you control.This card can only be Fusion Summoned with the above fusion material, or by its own effect. When this card is destroyed, tribute 1 "The Flood" monster you control to Special Summon this card. This effect is not optional. When this card is destroyed and cannot be summoned again, Special Summon up to 3 "The Flood - Prophets" from your hand or deck.

Dils Dileva Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 You shouldn't post if the cards isn't done. But I would like to see the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kato_Zenamara Posted October 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Actually, a lot of people do ongoing sets, which is all this is.Thanks for the patronage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraveHorizon Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Ha, that's funny. I made a Gravemind card too, except it's a Synchro. So is the focus of your Flood to SS as many as possible? That's pretty good. The Flood Juggernaut seems a little too easy too beat. All someone has to do is Compulsory it and you lose. Also, are you just taking images and uploading them directly without resizing them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, are you just taking images and uploading them directly without resizing them?[/quote'] Yup, since they're called the Flood because they swarm everywhere and take everything, I thought it was only fitting.The Juggernaut is suppose to be a risky card (reducing your lp to 0 = automatic risk). It can be slaughtered by spell cards, but neither of you can summon more monsters, so if this thing picks off your opponent's monsters, you can just take your precious time eating away at their LP, and they can't do anything about it.So yeah, it was actually taken out of the games, so I guess the makers decided it was weird. Likewise, one probably wouldn't want it in their deck. And yes, I just linked the images. Resizing them in paint or something completely distorts the image, and at least when the card maker does it it does it proportianally. Right?.....

Jazin Kay Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Too many terminologies to name. I bet someone nicer than me will tell you specifically with 4 paragraphs. As for the images... no. No excuse. The art is the first thing people see. When al you can find is Google Images search results, even if you DID spend an hour looking for that perfect shot, people will assume you slapped that picture on YCM in 3 seconds, harming your overall creation. Personally, when I have an idea, but can't find a suitable image for it, I: 1: Hang up the idea.2: Write it down to use when I think I'll find art later.3: Just type it, because not all card creation involves the card maker, or even needs to. It's kinda like... you're a contest baker and you made this huge badass dinosaur cake, but you couldn't find any green frosting to cover it with, so you used butter.

GraveHorizon Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Sorry for having a such big post in your thread, I'll Spoiler it for you so it doesn't take up much space. Also, I don't know if anyone has a different way of resizing card images, this is just the way I figured out how to do it myself.[spoiler=Original Post]And yes' date=' I just linked the images. [b']Resizing them in paint or something completely distorts the image[/b], and at least when the card maker does it it does it proportionally. Right?..... Wrong, it just depends on how you do it. I save the blank card template on my computer (Right-Click -> Save Image As) as a .png or .bmp, since JPEGs suck. Don't use them! I open the card in Paint and copy it with the Selection tool (Ctrl+A, Right-Click -> Copy).[spoiler=Blank Card] I open another Paint window with the card image I will use, then I use the Selection tool to paste the blank card over it, and center the empty space where I want the middle of the picture to be (notice the selection on the left that makes the empty space transparent). If the target is bigger than the empty space, I will resize the blank card until the part I want is framed nicely. The important part is keeping the blank card in proportion to itself.[spoiler=Pasted Card] In the above example, the source image is 1920 x 1080, but it includes black bars above and below the main picture, so I'm going to only keep what I want and get rid of everything else. The dimensions of the empty space of the blank card are 244 x 248, so it's barely taller than it is wide. If I make the frame (referring to the edges of the empty space from now on) as big as possible, the width doesn't matter since the limiting factor here is the height, so I measure the height of the part I want. I get 832 pixels (it's really 834, but the edges are grayish so I didn't include them). Here's where math comes in, so I need a calculator to figure this crap out, using the formula "X (Target Area Height or Width, Height in this case) / Y (Card Height or Width, Height in order to match X) = Z (Percent size difference). 832 divide by 248 (in pixels) is 3.354838... I'm using the calculator on my computer so it's a long number. What the number means is the target area is 3.35 times bigger than the card space. Now I need to make the card bigger to fit around the target area, so I Right-Click -> Stretch/Skew, then enter my result in both of the Stretch boxes, not the Skew. The image can be stretched up 500%, and 3.35 is 335%, so I enter 335 (I'm allowed to enter 3 numbers).[spoiler=Entering Percentage Difference to Stretch Card] If the numbers are correctly entered the resized card should be bigger than it was but still proportional to the original. Now that the blank card is the right size, I can frame it around the target area. When framed right it looks like a huge Yu-Gi-Oh! card. [spoiler=Target Area Framed] With the target framed, I need to get rid of everything except what is going to be in the card. I Right-Click -> Select All and move the whole image towards the upper left corner. I need to move the pixels of the edge of the card frame just off the edge of the allotted space. Zooming in hard is usually required to be pixel-accurate on large images, and I make sure I can see the tiny white dot in the corner which signifies where the vertical and horizontal edges meet.[spoiler=Moving the Image to Remove Excess Frame] After the upper corner is flush with the target area, I drag the blue marker (at the opposite corner of the unselected image) up to cut off the rest of the unwanted frame edge, zooming in to do it accurately. When the target area is the only thing that remains, I save the modified file using File -> Save As and add "card", so I can keep the original picture in case I change my mind and want a different part of the image.[spoiler=Finished Image to Be used In Card Maker] The new, finished picture is now directly proportional to the size of empty card space, so when it's resized to fit there won't be any difference in the proportions. Circles will still be circles and squares will still be squares. If you just throw any image into the card maker, it makes sure it gets every part of it in the space, even if it has to squish it. Like when you try watching a widescreen movie using every square inch of a fullscreen TV. Very noobish. Holy sh*t, this became a full-fledged tutorial! Wow, I wasn't going for that at all, but oh well. Also, if the source image is really big, like 1200 x 900 (random dimension, Preview the image with Windows Picture/Fax Viewer or whatever, press PrintScreen or Alt+PrintScreen, paste it in a new Paint, then use that as the source image.

Kato_Zenamara Posted October 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Hmm... I shall do that.I shall also edit the whited background cards. If you'd be so kind as to tell me which cards need to be resized, IYO? I know the ARK does, but thats all I can see now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
