LOL LYK STFU MANGS
Offline
Well for the people who don't know, I do have 2 accounts, one Angelic Clover (the so called mule, although for some reason I've been going on her more often, but I think i'll stick with this guy now) and you probably never seen my so called "works" but a few of you have, if you happened to stumble across like 3 of my cards in the "create a ygo card thread"
Well you see, I've been dying to try out a new format in creating my so called "orica's" (I'm not sure if they're called orica's because the artwork sure as hell isn't mine, because a donkey can probably be more artistic than me). My old format is just printing out the pictures and pasting them on cards.
but this new format seems to be more fun and o-o stuff? so I suppose I'll be posting my progress as I go along.
If you're going to comment, I don't mind the negative feedback, in fact It'll give me more reason to try to improve, but I made this thread because I thought that you might want to see what I'm doing ^^.
but enough stalling...
2 weeks ago (not entirely sure the date, wasn't really paying attention lol)
saw informative video over how to make orica's
2 weeks ago- 1/31/2012
design a few card designs (for room sake I'll just post one, but of course if you want to see more, feel free to ask)
1/31/2012
special paper came in, yay!!!!
1/31/2012
looked around for super rares, because i find these are more appealing than secret rares.
I knew my failed jurrac deck will come in handy (thank you HA3-4)
took apart the cards for their precious foils!!!
I keep the white for a later time.

attempt #1
miss print, failed!!!
(learned what printer setting to use and how long it takes for ink to dry)
attempt #2
poor craftmanship I suppose I was too over excited and well I did a bad job at cutting lol
(found what what type of glue works better than other types, although I'm still getting smugges)
attempt #3
finally getting there, here's a video ^^
for some reason it's not embedding so here's a link that hopefully will work
the tilting is suppose to show off the shiny hollo-ness but I'm not sure if you can see it
(this is still a failed attempt, because although I found a good way to apply the glue, when i was spreading it out i turned the card over and part of the image got scraped off. but I'm getting there)
hopefully attempt #4 will be the perfect one, ATM i'm using clear elmer's glue and although it works better than gluestick and the nasty white elmer's glue, I'm sure there's a better option. Also I learned that while doing this I need to constantly clean my work surface. for the next attempt I think i'm going to reverse the image for reason i'm to lazy to explain xD)
also hopefully I'll get hold of a better camera quality because atm i'm using the camera on my cellphone and as you can see...not exactly hd quality

Well attempt #4 turns out to be a better success although I have yet to find an adhesive that will work as well as I have hoped, I learned that if you keep the cards in a "tight" sleeve, it will work just as fine, so I think i'll do this until I find a good adhesive.
Also I've begun work on a 2nd batch of cards, once I've gotten hold of a better quality camera I'll post it up as soon as possible.
2/2/2012
well this is what I've made
I'm extremely psyched to print it out and see how it turns out.
on a side and semi-unrelated note, My friend asked me to make him a gorz token, and I got to admit...not my best work, but I followed his instructions so if I want to blame someone I'll blame him for my lack of creativity but here it is.
I'll probably print it out along with the 2nd batch. (mhmmm sounds like cookies)
which leads me to my 2nd point of buisness, if you want me to make you a card, I don't mind making one for you free of charge to celebrate my success? (also the fact that it's against the rules and that I have no way of charging you anyways) now there are 2 ways we can go around doing this, preferably I'll like the first way more.
1) I design the card, and upload it in a jpg format then you should be able to just copy and paste and print it out yourself.
if you have any questions as to how to make it, I'll be glad to assist you although I'll keep how to design the cards to myself, It's not a big secret, and it's not really difficult, but I like keeping this bit of info ^^
2) I actually go out and buy a stamp. But this method requires an address, and also, I don't have many spare sleeves so I'll have to actually glue the card together, and without a sleeve i'm afraid the card might lose it's shape along with the fact that I don't find the local mail man to be very friendly with the mail.

Hey look it's a grimro <3
2/3/2012
well my match of cookies finally came out, and if you'll allow me being forward, I do say it came out pretty well.
the foil has yet to be added because the ink still has to dry, hopefully it'll be done by tonight.
2/9/2012
well sadly no pictures/current work because I've been a bit to lazy lately and haven't done much (hopefully I'll get everything done by the end of the month) but I have been working on my 3rd batch. but yes on to business.
thanks to "Hedoro Koutai" who helped me with my sacred beast project, I have been able to find the artist's name (but still his works escapes me) but also she pointed out a direction to various different artists and I look forward to making use of their artwork. Also I'm in the middle of uploading my betas to have you let a look at them, and once they're done I'm more then happy to send you your copies, you and a few others might actually be my first out of city "customers" (not sure what you would call yourself, since the stuff is free lol)
slexen, I've made your gorz token (but havn't printed it out yet) but it's lost somewhere on my desktop sweatdrop hopefully I'll be able to locate it by the time I start printing. Also I believe I got most of it down, except for the font, stingy people won't share!!!!!
Saiyan Knight Mk-II, i'm sorry but I still can't find a "good" shi-en art, but my eyes are still open ^^
which leaves me to my 2nd order of buisness
when I print out a batch that's 9 cards
3 sacred for me
3 sacred for hedoro
1 token for slexen
and 1 card for a friend of mine
this leaves one slot open...and not to sure what to do with this one slot, at first I was thinking about hosting a tournament and the winner gets to take the slot, but this forum moves to slow and I don't think the ygo community is big enough. so I'm open to ideas now 3nodding (please note that there is only 1 slot, and if you give an amazing idea it doesn't guaranty a slot )

well I've continued to be lazy -grrrr- but I've looked around on my desktop and found older copies of my orica, they have been uploaded to my profile because well, uploading them to photobucket takes forever.
2/23
well I was off looking for more art work and see what I can find and I stumble upon this guy
-guy-
I'm pretty confident to say that the artwork isn't his (the artwork varies a lot) but he's selling them over Europe. Of course what he does isn't my concern, what I want to know is where id he find the art work for grapha and cyber dragon gonk I've been hunting for those lately!!!
2/24
well finally I've stopped being lazy for a bit and actually did some work eek
2/25
updated profile, printing out 3rd batch.
thanks again for the art <3 if you still want a set I don't mind mailing
Leave comments, questions, feedback, and anything you might like to add. Also if I ever do get far enough into this project I'll be more than willing to mail some of you people a free copy ^^
