Saiba Aisu Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Hey, everyone. I see that YCM has gotten a lot of new members. Welcome, all of you. Anyways, I recently started reading the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Manga, and was struck by Asuka Tenjoin's (aka Alexis Rhodes in the Dub) beautiful and exotic "Ice" cards. However, the problem therein lay that Manga cards don't have nice images - in fact, they're a nasty black and white. So, I decided to recolor them for my YVD Images. What started as a short project became a full-fledged passion, and now the Ice Monsters are my favorite series! Here are both of the monsters that aren't already OCG cards - Hail Cyber and Ice Queen. PS. I notice the effects themselves aren't that great, but it's really more the effort and image that counts. Also, the effects given are the ones the respective monsters have in the Manga. Believe you me, I know about card effects. Right, DJ? Note: The following images on Onemanga.com have not been drawn by myself, nor do I claim ownership of the said images in any way, shape, or form. I do, however, claim the said ownership of the colored images. Please do not reproduce or copy any of the said images without the artist's permission. This is a disclaimer, so there! Below are the card images in their original context. Please click the links below so you can see what I started with. Hail Cyber (Original) Ice Queen (Original) And now, for the finished images. Please enjoy, and thanks for looking! Hail Cyber (Approximate Coloring/Shading Time: 2 hours and 10 minutes) Card Lore:When this card battles with another monster, decrease the ATK of that monster by 300 during the Damage Step only. Ice Queen (Approximate Coloring/Shading Time: 5 hours and 29 minutes) Card Lore:Once per turn, you can pay 500 Life Points to gain control of 1 face-up WATER monster your opponent controls until the End Phase. === As you can see, I put a lot of work and patience into making these, so all comments on the images are welcome. Thanks for looking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me double-check, though...and yeah, I drew some of her, the right side of her dress, since it was cut-off in the image. Yeah, the effects are...bogus, lol.

Saiba Aisu Posted July 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Thanks, Demented. I debated on putting this in Showcase, but then, if I had, you guys here in Realistic wouldn't have gotten the chance to see them. Thanks for viewing!

shonenhikada Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 your coloring is nice but you need to work on the coloring for the shards of ice about your characters body, try to leave some white in it to emphasis reflection from the crystal structure of ice. Real card images and manga images are the same thing. A crappy line art drawing can look beautiful given the right set of coloring and semi contrapositive can be said to the same thing as well.

cassia Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Really good cards and pictures. Good effects. 9.5/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saiba Aisu Posted July 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Shonen: I can see where you're coming from, but it's important to remember that these two are my first coloring jobs. Thanks for viewing, and yes, I tried to achieve a shiny effect like Ice, but I couldn't get the opacity right. Cassia: Thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed them...now, if only Konami would make them!
