So this thread along got me to register for the forum here and now I can't get the idea of doing one of these out of my head. So I figure why not start planning it. I was looking though commons I had that I wouldn't mind cutting up and realized I have opened way to many Rotting Legions and am probably never going to play them so they would be perfect for this. And if I need more they are pretty much free
So here is the planning image I did in Photoshop:
I would love to do one of the spinning life counter things with it but I don't know how, so I will more then likely go with the beads, I am planning on replacing the text box with the black mana symbol off of a land since it looks better I think...
Any thoughts or a how to on how to do the spinning life counter would be awesome.
HatterofMad: That blueprint you have there looks pretty good. Some of the small purple zombie heads might be a real pain to cut out though.
Doing a spinning life counter doesn't seem that hard in 3D. You just need to have a 3 layer sandwich somewhere in the text box to have the window, spinner and background .
I agree that the Brass Man is really cool. I love how everything fits the brass theme, from the border to the beads to the rods. Very cool. The Dark Ritual/Ihsan's Shade counter immediately made me think of Mark Justice's double Demonic Consultation from 1999(?) Worlds.
@HatterofMad: Sweet choice - I think the Rotting Legion will look great. Thanks for posting the large image; I noticed a couple things I'd never seen in that art before. The center/top zombie looks like he has a spike coming out of his armpit, and the guy with both of his hands in the air looks less like a zombie and more like "guy who is pretending to be a zombie in order to not get eaten and can't believe it's working."
Oversized Generals. am i the only one, who want to make a really cool 3d general and/or counter out of this? It might not get easy to get all the cards needed, but man it would be cool

I'm considering doing this with the oversized promo Glissa the Traitor that went out with the final player rewards, if I can trade them off of people cheap.
I've gotten "invisible" white dots like that in the past, too. Cameras are good at highlighting things that eyes don't pick up.
Had time this week to make a few cards, horray! In addition to these, I finished Norin the Wary for one of my own EDH decks and did a partially-foiled Conquering Manticore for a friend.
I'm still not sure if I like the matching-color inner borders for White/X generals. I really like the black/red and green/blue inner borders from my Wort, Boggart Auntie, Kaervek the Merciless, and Momir Vig, but I don't know if I'll do white/black, white/grey center/black, or solid black when I make Teysa, Orzhov Scion. Also, I haven't done the top layer to this Isperia - still need to detail the border and info boxes.
This was the first time I've worked with mana symbols; in the text box the mana symbols in the activation cost of the Horde are all raised. Horde took a while to do because it was almost entirely piecework; only the tree/hill and the (slanted) grass/background layers are attached to a border; the rest is small pieces stacked and glued to each other and to those layers.
Once I finish Vorosh, the Hunter I'll have done every Planar Chaos wedge dragon! Of course, I've had him "in progress" for over six months so who knows when that will be
Here is a quick Cancel I did tonight. I need to do better with my edges and get a better pen to black-out the edges, but it's OK for a first attempt I guess.
2nd attempt at a 3D card. I got a set of brush pens and they helped A TON on coloring the edges. I need to get a different glue though, as the superglue I'm using drys way too fast and I can't get my card edges flush with one another quick enough.
