I kind of want to try some sharpie alters, but i don't know what you guys use to clean cards. I've used acetate nail polish remover whatever on cards but it leaves a residue and soaks into the card. Any tips?
STOP USING NAIL POLISH REMOVER
haha, really, don't do it. What it contains that Acetone does NOT ... is water.
And that little bit of water will harm your cards. I think you can get a small Acetone from a hardware store for like $7.
three S's i would wanna thank (Sensitive penguin, Sheperd faeries and Sandreline (good job on the thoughtseize! I like your emphasis on the details...keep it up! ;))
I know people have been bashing you for your Bazaars, but I feel this is just because they think the creatures are not detailed enough. However, I feel they are incredibly well detailed for the small canvas you are working with. I like how you keep the original are intact.
One of my first few, made with sharpie. Getting into the game. Ive moved up since to Prismacolor Premier with brush tips. I know i cant get the same feeling that you can with paints but they are a lot cheaper and easier to learn with.
Another one of my first few also done with sharpie.
And the life counter i finally got around to making. its a little rough around the edges but it was a lot of fun to make. The zombie in the background is 3D.
Sorry for the quality, ill figure out my camera pretty soon. They were all taken with a 10MP camera i just couldn't figure out the right settings to take the close up shots i was trying to do.
Ill get some of my more recent ones up as soon as i can.

First tournament top 8 11/4/12 at the SCG IQ in Santa Cruz!
I forgot to mention how much I loved 1kajko's Monet Forest and Van Gogh Swamp. Seriously, I am going to linkthem again in case anybody missed them.
Edit: Viomonk, try looking for a "macro" button or mode. Some cameras I've seen have a little tulip or flower kind of icon representing it.
That Recollect isn't done yet. The borders obviously still need to be fixed, but I was wondering if anybody else had some input on how to make it better. I'm thinking maybe bump up the background darks?

I really love the Goblin Cannon too!
And Recollect already looks pretty amazing in my opinion. Maybe bump up some contrast in the colors to accentuate the sort of life/death look? Darker blacks and lighter highlights? Looks great though.
I'm hoping to get into making 3-D cards. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good adhesive to use? Please don't make suggestions without experience, I don't need to be told to "just use glue" >_<
I've only done the one so far and I just used whatever I had laying around, Krylon spray adhesive. Worked fine, got a little bit messy if you overspray.

So much time, energy, love, and money for.. cardboard. It's a love-hate relationship.
@Bigup :PnP suggestion.
Well, i quite like the idea of using a famous painting (from any period) and associating it with a card.
(Van Gogh, Monet, Dürer,...) like we've seen recently on your and 1kajko's alters.
It doesn't meen difficult, as you can take any reference from before JC, to modern art... So you could choose to do a Leonardo da Vinci, a Raphael or a Mondrian...
All other suggestions and opinions are welcome (and needed!)
Can my X-Mas theme one also be the one of the four I'm doing for the Holiday Exchange? I just whipped up an awesome card that I'm sending but fits the theme quite well.
