Man. Those planeswalker arts look awesome and that inner shadow on Gideon's text box came out looking really good, same with the opacity on Liliana's text box.
For some reason the shape of the name box kind seems odd to me, maybe I'm just so used to the normal one though. I don't know if its intended, but the shadow on the planeswalker cost emblems makes it look like they are floating. A while ago I was messing around with some stuff to fix that, since the emblem is on both the card image and text box (the card image is further back so a broad shadow is fine, the text box is closer so a tighter shadow fits it better)... I fiddled with that a bit but don't exactly remember how I fixed it since the hard drive with those files crashed a bit ago. Anyways, well done man!
So the rules say that images have to be hosted elsewhere. What's the best way for me to share images? I'm new to this. Can I share from my Google drive? Should I upload to Pinterest or Tumblr? What's the best way to do this?

Had some time yesterday to make some alters for a new partner deck I just made. Figured I'd post them for the hell of it.
I just wish I could edit paper better to look less bland.
Edit:Watched a tutorial on Displacement stuff... and damn... that paper came out looking sexy.
This design is interesting. How do you add the scroll part as the textbox in them, especially making those words twisted like that please?
How? Half of it was muddling through stuff and suddenly turning out well. The other half was a tutorial I watched about making a wavy flag.
I'll list all the steps I that got me there though.
I should say, I tend to try to save things as separate files and pull them into other files as Objects allot. So any edits I later want to do cascade into everything built off it.
Anyways... here we go.
1)Create the Paper
In the main Card file, I merged together a couple paper images I liked until it looked decent, then deleted everything else and saved it as Paper.
2) Make the Distortion map
The filter-distort-displace function uses a file, it treats darker colors as low points and lighter as high. I saved the Paper file again as Distortion, deleted everything and pulled in an object of the Paper file. I painted a bunch of layers with different white and black reflected gradients, then when satisfied hid the Paper object and saved.
3) Pull the Paper file into the Card file
4) Call filter-distort-displace on Paper, select the Distortion file.
5) pull the Distortion file into the main file as a clipping mask for Paper. Hard Light, 60% Opacity.
I also added another layer as a clipping mask called Lighting, I chose a color to match roughly the ambient lighting and paint-bucket'ed the layer with it. Set it to 100% Opacatity and Saturation or 20~% and Color.
6) call the distortion function on the text.
for me it always ended up looking too strong, so I created a second DistortionText file, a blank file with the Distortion file pulled into it. Set the Opacity to 40%, saved it. Saved the text as a smart object and then ran the filter function on it.
It's probably cleaner to do all the distortions filters (paper and text) in the actual Paper file, Distortion and Paper have to be in the same position, so if you want to move the Paper around in the main file and the Distortions are done in the main file... you'll unsynchonize them and make stuff messy. But if you do all that in the Paper file and when its all done pull it into the Main file... you can move it around to your heart's content.
Does anyone have a four ability walker template using the post M15 border they wouldn't mind sharing? I've been trying to update the one by White Dragon, but it just keeps coming out wonky.
Hey guys, it's been awhile since I've been here. I don't seem to have access to my old account, but I have a couple or card requests. Preferably SA versions but I'm fine with anything. I'm hoping to see some renders of:
Leyline of Anticipation
Thought Vessel
Cyclonic Rift
Doubling Season(Preferably Battlebond)
Eternal Witness(Box Topper)
And
Mikaeus, the Unhallowed(Box Topper)
Thanks guys! I look forward to seeing your posts!
It is with a heavy heart that I must announce to the community that as of now, all templates that I have officially
released past and present are now locked and password protected. While many of you have been awesome and used my
templates in the appropriate and intended manner they are for, some have decided to use my work to create and sell illegal
proxies for substantial sums of money.
All other links will still be publicly available for download such as Fonts, Walkthroughs, Templates that
I host, and my gallery. If you have made a template I am hosting, and would like your template password protected,
please PM me.
I apologize for the frustration and inconvenience that this may cause the community, but I feel that it is the best action
to take at this time until things calm down and get sorted out.
Lastly, I would like to say I will still be creating new content for the community, but will be shared/released on a
case by case basis. If you are interested in obtaining a template, please PM me and I will discuss that with you.
I am a sucker for the art you use. Very nice again. Just curious if any of the artwork is your own or if its something you find.

Kentu, which of your templates did you use for that top? It's wonderful.
It is the new Gideon Spellbook frames. I have not released it yet as I am still working on it.
