My first playmat design. CnC please

[destron]

The measurements are wrong, the text is over-emphasized, the corners of the render look awkward and the backround is bad especially since the colors don't match the render. Also, the card zones aren't supposed to look exactly like the backs of the cards. They don't have the Yu-Gi-Oh logo nor the Konami logo.

[.Nu-13]

Which measurments are wrong?

Well, i couldn't find card backs without logos. Do you know where to find one?

[Seta]

I can't even understand what part of these actually are 'art' =/

Make a canvas, some random gradient as BG, paste in a render, then the card's back, recolor them and position, add some text, done.

The points at which the render cuts off look weird to me.

You could probably get good card back templates from old Starter Deck playmats.

 

Out of interest, where'd you get the render? Or image to render from?

For the best YGO renders PM Yin 2000 points for a pass to her PB....

 

OT: You could've done so much more with the BG...A forest pic with some blending would've been nice.

I agree.

 

Anyway, the effects on this lack the "wow factor" provided with YGO playmats.

Forest in bg? I'll try

 

@Griffin - render from here: http://s729.photobucket.com/albums/ww298/pojo_yugioh_renders/

 

EDIT: Kinda modified. Looks better now?

The borrowed stuff, I guess? It's why I don't use pre-made art for my stuff unless it's pop culture or a joke.

Don't use a real forest. Now, it's just ridiculous.

[.Nu-13]

So where can i get drawn forest? I couldn't find one on google

[Kohdok]

You can make brushes that generate a foliage effect with Photoshop. In fact I believe there are some preloaded ones.

 

Heck, here's a brush I made with Heidigger

 

[.Nu-13]

"Foliage effect"? Which for example?

Even if you just use Filter-Artistic-Cutout, Just do something to make it less realistic.

That is also possible.

 

As for the foliage effect, there are some leaf-shaped brushes in Photoshop that have a high scatter and rotation rates that toss leaves all over the place facing different directions. Go over the options and mess around with the brushes.

[.Nu-13]

Ok, edited. How now?

[Kohdok]

Eh, I think the forest needs to be made a bit bluer and then darkened so that it doesn't blow away the Gigaplant with its brightness. Also, the Gigaplant's presence on the mat could be expanded, enlarged maybe moved slightly to the left to help hide the sheer edges from the card frame.

[.Nu-13]

Well, i somehow can't hide awkward corners :/ Well, i guess i'll change Gigaplant for some other render... LOCK!
