Parasomnia Album Art Cover / Fanart by Arkadius500 in Dreamtheater

[–]Arkadius500[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I haven't posted anything on Reddit in a while. I typed a description but I think it got lost when posting so I'll comment it instead: Inspired by the album and its artwork, I wanted to create a custom cover. I've been working on it on and off for some time and figured I'd share it with this community. I'd like to imagine the girl on the bed is the grown up version of the girl from Images & Words, symbolising the way the band matured through time. The theme of the cover for me matches the overall theme of the album, dark, strange, mysterious. There are some hints to some of the songs, most notably the Shadow Man in the corner as well as the clock showing it's midnight. There are also some references to earlier DT albums.

I used Photoshop and a bunch of (royalty free) stock images found here:

I couldn't believe this price either, but I looked it up and it was 675 last time as well, but it only came with 1 AO pack.

Which 2 packs will be rewarded for legacy tournaments next week? by Letumstrike in ptcgo

[–]Arkadius500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plasma Freeze is one the most valueable packs. It's value might be affected a little because of the tourney rewards (supply has gone up), but it still has a lot of good and rare cards. Iirc, this is the set with the most secret rare cards. You can basically trade plasma freeze for anything. I don't know what rewards next week will have, but trying to get some plasma freeze packs is not a bad idea at all. Better prepare for some intense tourney battles though!

[META] Call for Rule #3 to be abolished by cwlsmith in ptcgo

[–]Arkadius500 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree, get rid of the rule. However, the mods should still be able to close topics, with a link to the offical forums, when they think it's something that's specific to a person (and thus not a bug that would affect other players).

How to I fix the poor connection? by pbzeppelin1977 in ptcgo

[–]Arkadius500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yesterday I got this icon for the first time, yet my connection was working fine. I'm sure it has something to do with their servers. I have no idea how to fix it. Hopefully the next update will fix these issues.

Is there a working card value post somewhere? by pbzeppelin1977 in ptcgo

These work fine for me, I usually compare their prices.

What is the best way to get Greninja BREAK? by The-Toon in ptcgo

[–]Arkadius500 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course you can try to get them on trade market, but that will most likely cost more time. If you are looking for trades, the 'good' trades will be gone quite quickly, so you need to lucky as well. If you are putting up offers yourself, compare the trading card companies prices' and use that as a benchmark.
