M.Hats Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 I made the image for this one myself once again, I might tweak it later. Any advice on wording the effect better would be appreciated. I can see this card as really useful as it lets you activate quite a few card effects. Curse of Vampire, Sangan, Mystic Tomato, Manticore of Darkness, the list goes on. Unfortunately at the same time this makes it a very powerful card, it could be limited to 2 or 1. I might need to lower it's ATK by 200 or so to make it mostly about the effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaco Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Huh, yeah, actually, for being a newbie, this is a pretty good card. The examples you stated are probably the best ones, although... It is a 1-1 trade. You remove him, then you get an effect (usually, it would seem, summoning a monster) The removing of the top 2 cards is a nice touch. It hinders your opponent and, if you made your deck right, it could help you out a lot. The only thing being, is if you're using a deck where cards removed from your deck would be a plus, you really wouldn't have too many cards in your graveyard that would have the effect "When this card is sent to the Graveyard as a result of battle". Know what I'm saying? I'm liking the idea though. Oh, quick idea. Perhaps, if you wanted to, you could lower its atk by 300 so it's searchable by the cards it would work with. (unless you made it stronger for just that reason) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaco Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Also it should be stated "By removing from play this face-up monster" I think. I think they've started bunching "removing from play" together, to make it easier to understand. EDIT: EEEEK, sorry about double posting (wow, this is my first double post in a long time... it feels... terrible...

M.Hats Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Fixed the text up a bit in accordance with the remarks made. I think being able to search him would be pretty cool and so I have made him 1500 ATK. Dj-Osiris could you please be a little more specific regarding the 'Stale' appearance of the image. I don't mind people critiquing my art but ideally the comments should be more constructive. If you are more specific I will be more inclined to improve the image.

Junk Raver Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 What can i say but stale really. It looks bland, its dull colouring, doesnt really look 'terror', doesnt suit the name. Looks like a bald pregnant alien lol Stale is the best word to describe it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a bald pregnant alien lol Stale is the best word to describe it lol[/quote'] Ya see, I know what you mean by pregnant. But if you look, it doesn't even have a stomach at all, it's just that tube looking thing. It probably looks that way because of how the dark colors are primarily right where the rest of its stomach should be, it seems to blend into its flesh, I suppose. Perhaps if there was some of that red by there, it wouldn't seem like that (but I'm horrible at color coordination, so I don't know which colors should be best) Really, if I were you, I'd change the name. I have to agree with DJ on that one. When I see that guy, I don't think "OH MY GOD!!!! WHAT KIND OF GODLESS MONSTROSITY IS THAT!!! I'M FREAKING OUT, MAN!!!!!! I'M FREAKING OUT!!!!!"And really, that's what should come to mind when I look at a monster with Terror in its name. The picture isn't bad, it just doesn't fit the name (in my opinion) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junk Raver Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Well shaco partly said what i thought, i knew it didnt have a belly but the darkness blends so well that it looks pregnant, and pregnancy on a card is just not a good thing ^_^ lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyKev Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 It's pretty cool, but the pic is stale looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.Hats Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Well i was going with a look similar to necroface (one of my favorites) hence the dull lifeless and inexpressive face. However the single colour is a little dull perhaps this is a little more interesting.The look isn't meant to look horrifying, more unsightly and vulgar. The pregnant suggestion thing is sort of a support for this, in the same way necroface is a babies head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junk Raver Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 It looks better now, but still a bit stale. He looks like a demented version of E.T. Doesnt looks scary enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.Hats Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 ok I tweaked the colours a bit, think it looks a fair bit better now.What are peoples thoughts on the effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junk Raver Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 it really wont matter if you do anything to the image, the image in general will never be fitting lol either scrap the image and replace it with another, or change the name ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RestLess-BoTics Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Why don't you try darkening the picture?Great job for your first though... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.Hats Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 The point of the colour changes wasn't to impress you by instilling fear into the hearts of the web community. I made very clear that I didn't want a frightening image so much as an odd and deformed looking creature. Hence the creature can be recognized as similar to Necroface and Dark Necro'fear' (hence the terror part of the name). Necrofear isn't a particularly frightening looking card, neither is Necroface rather they look odd. Also the card isn't particularly powerful aside from it's abilities potential. I am not going for a frightening monster, I'm going for creepy. I had thought about making the name Necroweave but opted for Necroterror as it does work with Necrofear, also it works with Necroface in a RFP deck so it becomes a mix of the two. If the majority agrees that the name Necroterror should be changed I might consider changing it. However I feel it conveys accurately what I wanted the card to represent. @ glasstin10 I wont be darkening the image any further as I don't think that is what Dj-Osiris means and personally I'm happy with the shades.

Shaco Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Nice, I like the coloring. And I don't really have too much of a problem with the name (and besides, it's your card, you can name it whatever you want) ... that monster could use a necroweave ^^ (pun-pun) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Maximus Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 I really do not like this card, the picture 'eh it disturbs me.There is also OCG problems this card just does not like me. 5.7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.Hats Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Where are the OCG mistakes, if you can see them point them out please, I would like to get this card as accurate as possible seeing as it is a made from scrap graphic. the picture 'eh it disturbs me. Perfect, exactly what I'm going for :D It's a shame that didn't sit well with you, but I guess you can't please everyone. Where there any other particlar aspects about the card you didn't like or is it mainly needs some fixing up OGC wise along with some 4kids censoring :P. I appreciate everyones input so far and am glad that I kept going with the graphics as I much prefer it now then I did to start. I have an idea for another card at the moment that when flipped face up destroys all other cards in it's column, as well as having the ability to flip back down. This card would go well with Shifting Shadows perhaps in an Exxod Deck. It would need some balancing conditions but if I make it I would do from scratch graphics again.
