well it is Niv-Mizzet's work after all... he's the megalomaniac who's: named the Guild after himself and all that (read the MtG.com article yet?). so Weird probably refers to the "oddness" of his creations. Weirds are discribed as some kinda electrical thing in some membrane? (don't laugh at the following sentence) reminds me of Electrode from the first Pokemon series.
I want a scurvy Pirate token, and a scurvy pirate ship token too,
- I like tokens yarr!!!!:apirate:
Yar I agree, we need Pirate tokens all round!!! But what would you use them for besides riptide Replicator?
Quote from gray »
i feel so totally ignored...comments on the Weird token i made anyone?
Sorry, I'm afraid I have to agree with PolarBearGod here, I'm not a big fan of the the way you did the word "Wierd." As well I'm a bit of a perfectionist meaning I only use the tokens which use the same format as the old prize tokens.

"As the mists of Mirewood are ever changing so to is life." ~Tyorl Nightwind, Mirewood Ranger
I am slowly building my own template. I currently lack some frames, they include:
No-Ability Frames:
-Gold
One Line Ability Frames:
-Artifact
-Colorless
-Gold
I am attempting to make Artifact and Red frames for both, and a no ability blue frame.
If anyone has a Ruhk token, or Pentavite tokens, a Very Large Scan would be appreciated. I just had a brainstorm, I should find an ebay listing, and demand a high rez scan of the token, hehe, maybe I will do that, or maybe I will be too lazy, stay tuned!
While I like the gold border, something bugs me about the green and white transition. It looks kinda small and flat, maybe you can throw a Bevell / Emboss over it or something? A shadow is good but that border really needs to be a bit thicker...
@Xander: i've managed to create a teoken template. managed to clean it up a bit but would like you guys to um... comment? i pretty managed to clean it up a bit. just one thing i need your help to add before i release the psd template file here... :wink2:
how'd you do the gold/black words at the top?
other than that my otken template is more or less ready. for hyrid just gradient it manually i guess...:embarrass:
The new tokens look awesome Xander. I definately like the Green/White fade frame better than the gold. I wish I could help you with the Token scans, I have both the tokens you need but they're in another country at the moment. If you are still looking for them in June I'll get them to you then.

I construct the Gold and Black words using a selection of Letters that I have taken from existing token cards. I have built a small alphabet that I use. Any letters I don't have I built out of other letters. I have been working on using Layer Properties on the actual font, but the effect is hard to replicate. The only colour fram I have left to build is No-Ability red, which is nearly done. I still lack colourless and artifact, however. I will probably be making a PSD soon.
Tyorl, you should edit your first post to include these tokens maybe...
I'll permit myself to post a "3/3 white Spirit creature token with flying" (originally made with "Oyobi who split the heavens"). I've used Xander's template. Tough I have done everything under Paint Shop Pro.
It is surely a bit rushed but it was kinda quickly done. The token name is copy-pasted from that other spirit token scan I had.
Here it is:
What do you reckon?
Looks great overall. Just a couple of small things, the "/" between power and toughness is off and I think I'd make all tokens common regardless of what makes them (that's just my opinion though).

@Zoidberg: much better yeah but... don't need to ask any of us really...grab a normal card and see for yourself... the / between the power and toughness is a wee bit too high.
@Tyorl: i think nJustice's tokens are also noteworthy...take a look!
Whoopsie. I took a break from Magic between Apocalypse and Ravnica, so a lot of the less known card arts aren't readily recognizable to me. I guess that image somehow found its way into my non-magic art.
