Hello guys and gals,
I'm looking for digital renditions of those cards:
Reforge the Soul
Eternal Dragon
Gisela, Blade of Goldnight
Vexing Devil
City of Traitors
Sigarda, Host of Herons
Griselbrand
Tamiyo, the Moon Sage (if possible using this adorable picture) from Houseofsixteen).
Thanks!
If you are not interested in Original Art only, then there should be some renders made in former posts of this thread. Please Check it out.
It's a link to the folder that has all of the shared templates. Lemme take a look at it.
Link updated, should work as anticipated now.
Oh, i am not sure what is wrong with it but i still can't get linked to the folder you mentioned.
Also,I just want to check whether you have uploaded your new Land Templates or not. Thank You Very Much.:)
When I try that logged out of MF, it works correctly.
See last post previous page on an update to the lands template. It's not done...yet.
Thanks for your help. I 've tried logged out also but still i can't get linked to the folder. I just get directed to the front page of the site and it shows up the option to sign up or log in only. When i've logged in, then i just get directed to the page of my own account every time when i tried to click the link you provided. Just really feel puzzled and don't understand what is going on. But i am currently in my office and i am not sure whether it has anything related to the firewall of my company.
Anyway, Thanks for your sharing. I must have to try again tonight at home and see whether it is workable or not and then I will report it here.
Those new Land Templates are very interesting and pretty indeed. Really look forward to get your new creations!!:D
Possibly bottom right corner (some blank space opposite the artist/legal stuff) OR if this template is only for lands, you can go upper "twin" where the name is -- right-hand side.
I mean, hell, we're all on a forum for something that most people would describe as a "children's card game"...do what makes you happy. You are never too old to enjoy yourself.
I tried the title line, it was highly distracting. Using "Land — Mountain Plains" on the left and the expansion on the right was also very unbalancing.
If you want to be true to the ZEN big art lands, you could make "Mountain Plains" a smaller text size and put the expansion to the right of that. I'm not sure how that would look (probably awful).
The issue is the unbalancing of text
LAND ____ Symbol ______ [lots of text for dual] + Expansion
----
You could also modify the template to have the symbol physically higher than the twin.
_____________Symbol
Land_______[dual land text]_______Expansion
Only issue is that you've created something new lol.
----
Another idea is to drop 'land' and just have it implied
Mountain_____[symbol]______Plains + Expansion
OR
Land - Mountain______[symbol]______Plains + Expansion
(whereby you are using the whole twin but splicing it apart with a [symbol])

Pre 8th frame mostly done. No purple pin stripes yet. I'm looking at you Lake of the Dead.
Will anyone be super upset if I don't include the shrunk textbox for ABU frames? ABU is smaller side to side. It looks like they changed it in Visions.

The Scrubland is sharp and clear in outlook, very nice indeed. And I want to say that the link for the templates you provided is alright now. I am just too busy last night and didn't have time to tell you back. Look forward to see your new creations. Thank You Very Much.:)
I must be doing something wrong, because I didn't see any bevels for titles on that Single-Sided DFC template. Made my own, and got around to the werewolves, as well as made a few tweaks to the delver. I'm not exactly happy with them yet, so I'll brew for a bit and consider how to best arrange the text/art so that they showcase the art well, while still being readable. I suppose I don't really need the black border, do I?
In order to use DFCs in my cube, I need new players to be able to readily understand what they do while drafting, so the text needs to be on one side and right-side-up. I'm not a fan of removing cards from sleeves as often as they would otherwise require, so these will be used as proxies for the regular cards, which will be in clear sleeves.
The bevels are there. This is a really old pic as I don't have the template handy here @ work.
I think you need a visual reminder on yours as to when you'd be using which part of the card.
I agree about having a visual reminder. There's no frame to include a chevron, so I was thinking of including the text '(transformed)' somewhere on the night side. I will follow your example of including the type in the same area as the title, as that would free up a lot of space.
I'm wondering if maybe we're using different templates? Am I supposed to incorporate these layers into another template? I've included an image of what I'm seeing:
When I try that logged out of MF, it works correctly.
I double checked all of the layers and still don't see the bevels. There's definitely no full frame like in the image you posted, nor is there a border or frame shadow. There's also no mana symbols beyond the 1W, and no shadows for those. I'm not sure what the red title layer is for, but it's ordered beneath each color pattern like the one on the night side here. I am using GIMP, but I don't think that should affect anything beyond the inability to edit text from a .psd file.

I like this much better. The letters and the bevels are not disturbing the picture. If you could make all the 2 sided cards like this I would appreciate it a lot.
I think you found a perfect solution for 2 sided cards.
This way we can enjoy the picture and above all we can see proper use of the card.

You've got the SA Advanced Single Side DFC there. Add it's majorly borked.
The red Title layer is the shape for the textures above it.
To "fix" it, you need to do the following. I do not know if this will work in GIMP though.
Set all of the Twin texture layers back to Clipping Masks.
Re-enable all of the Layer Styles on the main Twins layer.
There might be some issue with layer masks as well.

Zeerbe. Just a thought.
Why not making transparent rules and flavor box?! With really Color intense boxes around the text.
Then they would not disturb view of the artwork.
Most artworks are really nice and should not be concealed behind rules.
First page, first post. Otherwise you can use the one zeerbe put up a page or two back. It's an all-in-one.
Edit: You do need Adobe Photoshop to use these files though.
Alas, for I have only GIMP. Still, I'll persevere. Thanks again!

I have 15 EDH decks...sorta kills the 'I only need one of a card' aspect of the format.
I went and started a Commander/EDH blog! Come see it at http://wordofcommander.blogspot.com/ and it includes all 15 of my custom super-art generals!
If you're more into the finance section of the game, I write on Fridays for MTGPrice.com.
Reforge the Soul.
Vexing Devil.

I'm working on ZPSTemplate:Realms, which should allow for any land ever to be rendered out. The necessary ABU dual layer masks will be included.
Unhinged, Unglued, and Zendikar full are done so far.
Examples using the MTGO Cube art released today on the mothership. The Plateau MTGO symbol was crudely hacked out of an image from Magiccards.info.

Where did you download this font? I cant find it anywhere.

This looks rather good if I dare say so myself.

I hate transparent text boxes. I am not a fan of the promo cards with stroked lettering either, it makes it tougher to read.
This may come as a shock, but the art is the least useful part of the card.
Yup! Was there a template for the colorless frame and the token title someplace?
I made some Bird tokens for my girlfriend by scanning the original and deleting everything but the frame, but I'd prefer a more from-scratch look.
Plus I'm likely to make mine as Zerglings, since I made the Kerrigan Sliver Queen a few pages back.
