MY own tutorial

Step 1. BEFORE THE MAKING

First, give yourself a plan on Word or another writing program. Me, it`s how I work:

Number of the card - Name - Type of card - Nb. of stars - Attribute - Type of monster - ATK - DEF - Description-Effect-Fusion Material cards-Spell effect-Trap effect

 

By example (One of the cards I created for pop culture section): CNP001. Samurai Jack - NORMAL - 5 stars - LIGHT – WARRIOR – 1900 ATK – 1600 DEF - A fierce warrior with ninja skills. He tried for years to get rid of Aku, the evil spirit who killed his parents.

 

Or the other version, way less condensed:

CNP-001

Samurai Jack

NORMAL monster card

5 stars

LIGHT

WARRIOR

1900 ATK

1600 DEF

A fierce warrior with ninja skills. He tried for years to get rid of Aku, the evil spirit who killed his parents.

 

But I find this version less useful as it uses too much space.

 

2. PICTURE FIRST

Try finding a cool picture for your card. Sometimes it is really hard, as some pictures are protected and some others will be stretched. Sometimes Wikipedia pictures work, sometimes they don`t work. But if you search a nice pic, you should find a plus or less square one or you will really scrap your card`s picture. You must copy the link to the card in the designated space so be careful.

 

3. PLACING YOUR INFORMATION

Once your pic is placed, you must work on... everything else. Place the name, the ID, everything... For the serial number, just click Random, it`s easier like that.

3.1 THE PROBLEM WITH ATK/DEF

Most of the time users will see your card and say it`s overpowered (too powerful for its level) or underpowered (not enough powerful). So, by evaluating the ATK, DEF, stars and effect (if there`s one) of your card, you should change its level, ATK or DEF points, or effect.

If it`s a Spell or Trap card, habitually it`s because the effect is really powerful.

 

4. LAST DETAILS

4.1 RARITY I always forget this detail. You must put a rarity to your card. Habitually it depends on all the stats of your card. A level 12 card will certainly not be Common, per example.

4.2 LINKS If you don`t have a photobucket or other picture site account, then your card will appear as a link. Some users are too lazy for clicking, so maybe you should see 4.3.

4.3 PICTURES ON POSTS Get an account on Photobucket or another picture site and you may see your card right on your post. Too bad it habitually uses a lot of space.

 

I hope my tutorial helped you. If anything is wrong, tell me.

I`m not English-speaking, nor English-writing, but I learn it so it looks really English. I probably did some mistakes writing this tutorial...

It's an okay tutorial. It's a shame 99% of all of the new members won't look at this. It has the potential to help quite a bit.

 

 

(The card you used as an example was underpowered. Not that it really matters seeing as it was just an example. I prefer underpowered more than overpowered anyway, so it's okay.)

You must arrange the signature with a special thing in your profile.

Just go to Change Signature. You can put a picture (if it`s coming from Photobucket) and you can also add links and quotes, stuff.
