    [PokeCommunity.com] Faker's Showoff. First Edition.


    Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to Faaaaaaaaker's Showoff!
    In this contest, 8 participants will join us, in an attempt to win the Faker's Crown, passing three rounds of competition.
    4 will be eliminated in the first round, 2 on the second, and a final showdown will occur in the last round. For the first round, any card can be entered, but specifications and tasks will be harder with each passing round. Each round duration is of five days, in which if the contestant does not deliver his card, he will be disqualified. Only one card per round is allowed.
    The cards will be rated upon how realistic they look (wording, placing, etc), and creativity (of attacks and art)
    To decide the best cards, both 3 judges and the audience will decide the best: 1st round, the judges choose two, and the audience other two. (the one most voted). Second round, audience 1, and judges 1. Judging and votings occr in the last day of competition (1st round in Friday 6).
    In the final, only the judges will decide: Who is the real card faking master?

    Judges:
    - Sylph
    - Cursed
    - Cascade of the Sky

    Contestants:
    - majinx24
    - shadow_bind

    I'd like to sign up for being a judge. Me likes power.
     
    I'll be a contestant.. I'll edit this post when I'm finished my card
     
    hey.. your stage of the LENSFLARE on the cloud effect.. ;) heading in the same directions with me on poster making... but im sorry, im gonna have to deny the offer of entering, sorry :)
     
    lol, no offense taken shadow_bind.. ;) totally kool... i understand everything.. i just need a competition with a prize :) gtg
     
    We got 4 competitors now :)
    Four more can try their luck.
    Today is the last day... will you be able to get the Crown?
    Judging starts today. Non-judges can also vote on their favorite card.
    Votes will be tallied, and judges classifications as well, and four will proceed (if no-one else register, the total amount of competitors with cards will pass.
     
    Ok... I'll start judging now since I must leave soon for the weekend.
    As it seems that only three participants entered... you'll all pass to next round. But ar any rate:

    Realistic:

    shadow_bind: 9.6 - The card looks almost authentic, but, is it just my eyes, or is the "Evolves from Flaafy" a bit too down? But at a glance looks autentical. :)
    I can't spot any other particular errors...

    Omega Latios: 7.6 - I cannot be certain if what I'm about to say is right, because I never knew the ruling for those blanks, so I'll judge it like Advance HL blanks: It looks nice, but name is quite too left. The name start should be aligned to the image square start. Also, Weakness symbol and Retreat Cost symbol aren't centered... the attack name placing is also a bit off to the left.

    harrybitzo: 8.9 - Quite nice, but few errors: First, Retreat Cost symbol isn't that centered. Then "Evolves from Voltorb", is a tad too much to the left. Also, the attack is a bit overpowered...

    Creativity:

    shadow_bind: 9.8 - I'm quite impressed! The art looks really good (the holo really suits it), and the attacks, besides being original, have a connection to the image! I really like the idea. A new blank, different from the usual, would give you the top mark.

    Omega Latios: 9.1- Ok, the idea is just, way funny! I really like the blank you used, the attack ideas look good, the Rattata really looks Imakuni?-ish... I just think the image could have a background...

    harrybitzo: 8.7 - Nice, I really like the Electronic Ball Call Pok?Power, and attacks look original, but Ken Sugimori art is a bit overused, no? I like it nontheless.
     
    Well... since the other judges didn't vote during the weekend, let's move on to the next round. (yeah, each round starts at Monday)
    This time, the three competitors's challenge is to make... a Trainer Card! Yes. No pok?mon normal cards, but a Trainer!
    WIll these three challengers have what it takes? We'll soon see in the second round!
    (All entries must be entered until Friday, the 13th, or you are disqualified. Judges will judge until Sunday, Monday, the last Round starts)
     
    Rating

    ;) very good shadow_bind... and now my rating:

    - - -

    Realistic:

    shadow_bind: 10 - The card does look like a trainer card you would get in a set -(or promo)- as it is an "epic"... i like that idea. Seems pretty average as what it's effect does though. but as i don't play TCG- i wouldn't know...

    harrybitzo: 6.8 - EXTREMELY average. This does not make me feel like walking into a wall saying "MARSHMELLOW" repetively (have you, this is what i do when i am bored + hyporactive)- also, this card simply doesn't inspire. Their is noting special... this is comp... we don't really want stuff that is average. but it's better than nothing... :) well done for entering

    Creativity:

    shadow_bind: 10* - EPIC? never heard of this before... it sort of reminds me on a shining pok?mon... ;) from neo! i love the picture.... the holo effect and it is something that gives me inspiration (expect cards from me soon) and it does give me the urge to walk into a wall repetively saying "MARSHMELLOW"! Congrats- (* out standing Acheivement)

    harrybitzo: 3 - absolutly not creative at all... the art is too boring and totally unoficial... maybe even if you had of got a picture of falling snow of the net... but i gave you point's as it is your art! i like people using their own art! weather it is awesome or not, it's still their own unique style... so, in saying this, Keep it up... ;) you'll get better soon.
