[B3lly N3rd]

didnt even notice you were a new member but anyways im sure they got a guide somewhere around here hm...

 

I don't really understand the effect

here Use my Guide

 

This is my tut on how to make good cards.

 

[spoiler=Find the Image]

You can find suitable images on sites such as these...

http://www.animecubed.com/galleries/

http://www.animegalleries.net/

http://www.advancedanime.com/

http://www.animelab.com/anime.manga/pics/

Or even find images in the showcase section

Remember to CREDIT the Artists

 

For example I will choose this image

[spoiler=This one]

http://www.thinktankstudios.com/images/creatures/Finished/Stalkveng.jpg

 

Instead of saving it and uploading via a site' date=' just right click the image, at the bottom of the menu that just appeared, it

 

should say something like copy image adress. Just copy and paste that in the picture upload box.

[spoiler=This is what card looks like so far']

 

Now we will go onto the next step

 

[spoiler=Details]

This category is about the name, type, attribute and idea for final effect.

 

Finding a good name;

Look at the picture of the card and try pointing out noticeable features, in the one I have chosen, you can see it is in a

 

graveyard, on a foreign alien planet and it is quite big, so this monster is a high level alien giant.

But for names, you can either make something like;

-The Frightening Beast

OR

-Skalashak, the Terrifying Beast

 

However I will choose the name Ladon, which is a greek mythological beast, and put some big scary words on the end

 

For its Attribute, look at the colours, elemental hints, or overall image. this is obviously a DARK monster.

 

Type can be harder, look for wings, swords, fins, fangs, fire, all these can be hints towards types, this card is a mix

 

between a Fiend and beast, but fiends are scarier and more evil, like this image.

 

It will look like this with most of it filled in.

 

[spoiler=Effect, ATK and DEF]

The effect should be based on image and name, try to match the name to the image, and effect to image and name.

 

For example, because of the Graveyard nearby, this would have some reviving effects.

 

Rough OCG plan:

-Special summon from graveyard with level 4 or less

-because of which must skip your next 2 draw phases

-and lose 500 ATK

 

OCG fixed up:

Pay 500 Life Points. Once per turn, during your Main Phase 1, you can Special Summon 1 level 4 or lower monster from your

 

Graveyard, if you do this, skip your next 2 Draw Phases.

 

That's the effect pretty much sorted out

 

If you need help with some OCG terms, go here:

And for the ATK and DEF

Pretty simple this one, make sure its of a worthy balance and is looking appropriate for the card, don't OP or UP. A list of

 

average ATK and DEF stats.

1 : 300

2 : 600

3 : 1400

4 : 1800

5-6 : 2300

7-8 : 2800

9 : 3000

10+ : 4000

 

*there are exceptions to monster with higher ATK and DEF, but these often require huge tributes or costs, like "5 Header

 

Dragon"

The highest original ATK i have seen on a card is 5000

remember if a card has a certain Effect or has a Stat that is considerably high, lower the other drastically, eg:

ATK: 0 DEF:2200

ATK:1900 DEF: 0

ATK: 3000 DEF: 100

 

This card, because it loses 500 ATK, should have a considerably high original ATK, but not too high to still give it an

 

advantage, lets say 2800. Its DEF should be a lot lower because of the effect and its mainly an attacking monster. so about

 

300.

 

 

Tada a finished card. Once after a While you will make better cards.
