Would be interesting to see this in the new Charm style for KTK with bullet points instead of a clump of text. It may detract from the art but you have some leeway above the woman's head so you could shift the art upwards.
I've been making cards for another game (thread over on subforum; I can't post links yet), and it occurred to me that as cards are generated by a Python script (controlling GIMP) it would be v. easy to make a magic card with the same scheme.
I'd be very grateful for any feedback on the design -- I'm not very artistic. BTW, this is heavily influenced by Jason Sanderford's beautiful frameless planeswalkers.
Curious as to what people think about changing the names of the cards in alters to fit the art, but have the abilities be the same. For example, I'm thinking of doing a run of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy alters, and was thinking of turning Sensei's Divining Top into Deep Thought. But having Deep Thought at the art and it still be named the same strikes a bit of dissonance.
Can anyone point me to where I can find a Phyrexian mana font set? I'm doing a card for a contest, but I can't find these fonts anywhere.
So far as I know, no Phyrexian Mana font set has been released or uploaded in this thread. So when I need to use phyrexian Mana symbols, I simply cut and paste the picture and adjust on it in order to make them in my renders.
Therefore I don't know how to help you but I'm glad to share what I have. Please have a look to see whether it is useful to you or not. (see below)
Pretty sure that you just havn't found the right font. I've been using MagicSymbols2012 and they have the phyrexian mana symbol tied to Z. Use that in conjunction with o for the mana back and color it whatever it's supposed to be and you're good to go.
It appears that the colored circle is a bit smaller than the Phyrexian sign. How do I make the colored circle a bit bigger?
L.E.: Ah I got it, needs to be capital O so shift + o.
Also, Scorpio, could you give a more detailed explanation on how to remove the white rectangle from RoblintheGoblin's M15 PW template? I tried to do what you suggested but when I try to erase the selected area with 40% transparency nothing happens. What layer do I need to be on in order to delete the white rectangle?
L.E.: Never mind, I found the layer (Frames - Pro M15 PW - Layer 8), deleted the whole third ability transparent segment and refilled it with 60% white.
Another problem now: How do I modify the space between Phyrexian mana symbols? They appear to be superimposed a bit (first on second, second on third etc). Font seetings don't allow me to modify this space.
Has anyone done any renditions of comet storm, rolling thunder, merciless eviction, or vindicate? I would very much like to see alternate versions of those cards (but I, unfortunately, lack the skill to do so, myself).
That rendition is most excellent, Batman, but is the artwork intended to be so strongly suggestive? Perhaps it may simply be me, but that pose is definitely very sensual, and the fact that it is on a card with the word "primal" in the name certainly adds to that effect.

I love the art. I really needed a good art for her. But.... there is one slight problem. that im sure you can fix... You spelled her name wrong. Its Trostani, Slesnya's Voice. You have Trostanti...
Dunno what happened to Roblin after he released his last update. But here is an updated version with what I've fixed, also removed the image borders to make the SA's look cleaner.

Fonts Used: Beleren Bold, Beleren Small Caps Bold, MPlatin Regular, MagicSymbols 2012, Relay-Medium Regular
Also, did an Elspeth Sun's Champion which is the default for what's in the template currently.

Thanks for your kind sharing. But I can't download your file directly. Is there any problem with the link? or
Do i need to create an account in mediafire.com first in order to receive your file? ( but it didn't need to be like this in the past )
Also, would you please tell me what function keys and steps I need to do if I want to change the logo in the stamp symbol (i.e. the fake-proof stamp in the new M15 templates ) like what you did in that Elspeth render?
How do I modify the space between Phyrexian mana symbols? They appear to be superimposed a bit on the left edge (first on second, second on third etc). Font seetings don't allow me to modify this space.

As for the Security Foil, if you look in the template under the M15 Holofoil Stamp Layer Group you'll see Rarity Symols Copy 4, that is the layer that I used to get that effect on the stamp. Basically you just put any design that you'd like in that area, make sure it's black, and then set that layer to overlay. Delete anything not in the stamp area. Quick way to do that is to control-click one of the holofoil rainbow layers, ctrl-shift-i, inverts the selection, hit delete. ctrl-d to deselect everything.

Here's a pic to illustrate what I mean. As you can see, the spacing options are greyed out. The other option to the right of the one with the menu open just does some weird things, shifting the circle away from each other, but Phi signs shift in the opposite direction.
Also, is there a quick way to get rid of that little chip in the border I pointed witht he red arrow?
L.E.: Never mind about that little chip, I painted it on the layer called Planeswalker Frame (last one) in Frames group.
It has to do with using the Capital O instead of lowercase o. You might have to create two text layers, one for the phyrexian symbols, another for the mana backs, increase the size of the mana backs and align them properly.
Thank You So Much, Mr.ScorpioRage. May I ask then: Would you be able to update the Template so that it contains also the 4-ability style please? Right now we still have the M15 Planeswalker Template with 3-ability only.^_^;

You're reading too much into it. I see the Commands as rituals which is what that art seems to depict.

Never had that issue, what program are you using?
