    Ive been thinking about doing a card set for a while.. Especially when Cascade released his awesome blanks.. but I was running low on ideas and was busy with many MANY different projects.. Well I finally came up with some ideas and Cascade's blanks didnt seem to be available anymore and then I was reminded that I have fangs 'template' (?, I guess) to make blank cards on my own so I started thinking up what looks good and what I'd like to see.. I came up with this..

    [PokeCommunity.com] x24's Small Comeback..

    Its my first full sized, unrushed fake in about a year and a half and I didnt use the tutorial at all because PC seems to be acting funny for some reason.. can never connect (is this normal lately??).. so what u think??

    @Fangking (if you read this): someone told me that you lost your 'blank blank'.. if its true I'll hook u up with it if you want.. alot of people have wanted it from me and I rather u give it to them instead of me throwing it all over the net..
     
    You have the blank blank?! You are the saviour! It is written that you are the saviour! </madness>

    Sorry. A bit excited tonight. :P

    Oh, and Cascade's blanks are here.

    That looks really good. The piccy's a bit blurred, probably 'cos you've stretched it, am I right?

    I like the bottom effect. It looks really good. Though I'm not sure about the grey border. And that prerelease thing just looks bad, sorry. Next time use a Winner logo.

    Plus, I like the symbol next to the HP.

    Overall...good blank, good card. 9.5/10.
     
    Wow, that is a nice blank:) and the text have a little outer glow which adds a neat effect.

    The attacks are not as interesting though

    Great work x24
     
    thanks, ya, I have the blank blank.. Fang let me have it to do some custom types (I was remaking Zeos Ice Dragon, Bug, Ghost & Poison) about two years ago..

    The ONLY Reason I put 'PRERELEASE' on it was because the blank had an error.. I did the weakness area last after I was almost finished the card.. and I noticed the spaces between the circles at the bottom were too close together.. so in later cards that'll be fixed.. this release was mostly just to show what I had been doing.. and yes its resized because its one of the pokes I couldnt find a large pic of, and I needed a Fire Poke because its the only blank Ive got finished so far.. the small would have worked but... meh
     
    Hmm a blank blank still in existance... i'd like to see that, it might persuade me to start using these modern style blanks... Lovely card by the way, and excellent blank!

    (I'm also having frequent problems accessing the forum. It's not just you)
     
    Wee-Hey! After What a long time still throws us a decent card. I love the new Blank.
    The Outer Glow effect on the writing is very nice, the Type symbol looks stunning O_O and also i like what you have done to the bottom bottom (Weakness, Resistance, Retreat Cost) adding the Circles
    and also i can see the circles now, that the blur has gone :)
     
    Hey! the design isn't bad... I think than a little more of texture will do than this card look better... Anyway I have to consider than is a prerelease... Anyway I say you for help you, you can do excellent textures if you search some Adobe Brushes ;P (If you need someone only say me, I will glad of could help you :)... I have a great folder full with different kinds of brushes and I know many places where yo can search someones).
    I think than the corner symbol at side of the HP isn't so good anyway... is so dark and too little. The bottom's detail give it to your blank a own touch ;O

    Oh... I hope than Fanking allow submit the blank blank because I wish redesign my Great City Blanks (I feel them unoriginal and a kind copied to Cascade blanks)... that will help me to do the work quicker.
     
    Well, I have never seen one, but I assume that it is a file with all the necessaries to make blanks. For instance, a blank with no colour can be used to make blanks of each colour

    Thanx that makes things clearer lol

    sounds pretty useful actually-now i want it too:(

    O well I can live without...
     
    thats exactly what it is.. Its a clear version of the blank with no background just the borders, circles, picture frame, proper transparencies, shapes and small copyright text automatically put onto it..

    Thanks for the comments everyone

    Gonna work on the rest of my blanks later this week.. hopefully have them finished plus have a few more cards doen aswell..

    THINGS TO DO
    -----------------
    -Update the Blanks with an idea that came to me and fix a few things
    -Update Hikozaru, found better version of art for it aswell
    -Finish the other blanks
    -Make Fakes For Naetle and Pochama
    -There are three other 4th Gens ones Im going to make (Not Tellin Yet)
    -Then Ill plan a set that I've wanted to do for a while
     
    this card is very VERY well done, welcome back to faking,,... pointer, when you de-saturate the border, go to Image - Adjustment then LEVELS! that'd do the trick! :P, and i also suggjest just making these blanks over the origional HIDDEN LEGENDS blank! that'd look awesome

    That is the same method than I used for my own customs blanks (use the hidden legends blanks)

    Anyway that was a useful tip Cascade... :)

    Oh yeah x24... I recommend you for do your own blanks and your own texture in the card go to www.deviantart.com and search custom brushes for Photoshop. also if you search textures stocks you will have a good library of resource for create cards ;P

    I looked into the brushes and texture on DA there but I rather do them myself.. its what I did with the Zeo blanks and I have alot better technique now than I did back then..

    I dont really understand what you mean, Cascade, by using hidden legend blanks for behind them? Im making something different than EX blanks.. The colors will be slightly different.. I dont want the same backgrounds.. I want something alittle more colorful.. almost like Freon's blanks from way back but not straying too far away from P.Companies's designs for thier blanks soo far.

    Will be back with a few previews of backgrounds later..
     
    a few of those are cool looking will be put to good use for the actual art for my set...

    as I said earlier, heres a preview of my backgrounds for my blanks..

    (looking at one of them now makes me think ive seen the spidey3 trailer one too many times)

    hope to have all the designs finished tommarrow.. but it's a start..
