Acanthite Teaser Trials - Frondilo

[Fangking Omega]

It's been a long time. A very long time.

Here is a tester for the upcoming Acanthite TCG to see what people make of the cards. This is not necessarily part of the promotional series, but is an example of what it might look like.

Opinions would not only be appreciated, they are crucial. Please let us know what you think of the card design.

That looks very professional, and the art is very sugi-ish. All in all very good.

 

[Fangking Omega]

Thank you very much, although the art style was actually intended to be entirely non-sugimori XD

 

[Tentacruel13]

It looks very nice and very good custom blank!

 

[KurlyFries]

you did great on the card design, no doubt about that.
if you want nitpickiness, it looks a little chunky to me.

I find the art amazing. Though the pose is very sugi-like, the shading is moist and smoother, and that goes well with Frondilo's froggy appearance and with its coloring.

About the blank, I fins it very neat. It remembers (sp?) of Gym Sets back in Gen I. Even so, I find the green you used to be kind of too light for the fonts. To perfect it, you could make the text already in the blank a little darker, coz else it looks kind of a copy from a scanner. I also think that the green used on the description area is very uniform, and looks not very good.

About the card, I find the name font to look a little wierd, too big (couldn't find any better wording). I also find it kinda overpowered for a starter basic, though the promo cards tend to be made to fare well on their own.

Overall, it's really amazing, I find it a great job.

I like it. It looks very professional, but some of the text seems to be a little blurry as it gets to be smaller (or italicized).

 

[EnteiTheMant]

That's amazing. I wish I could do such work.

I admire you for creating such a wonderful new generation of Pokemon being so persistent in the making of Acanthite. The card is absolutely wonderful, as if it were real. The only thing that I dislike is the background of the image graphic - is it supposed to be so pixel-ish? My opinion is that the Pokemon within the card has a more cool and sleek look, and the background should match instead of having a rough and pixel-ed design. The green below the PokeDex entry should be a bit lighter too. Overall, it is beautiful - great job!

The background isn't pixel-ish! It has 'Paint Daubs' is PS

That's the one :) As Ken Sugimori's backgrounds are often blurred in some way, I figured I'd make Frondilo itself stand out as opposed to the background. The focus is on Frondilo.

Thanks for all the comments and advice :)

It's AWESOME. Maybe we could request, because I'd like Pachirisu on one. All you need to find is a good picture.

There won't be any requests - I used to work on Acanthite TCG, so I can tell you that there is a definite set list and people who work on card text for the cards in it.
