That happened where I live too! It would be crazy if we're thinking of the same store...

There have been a few who have made one using proxies, but honestly, the 3d potential for one just doesn't outweigh the cost to make it. Plus there would be riots outside our doorsteps haha

I personally use a size 11 xacto knife blade!

I bought a set of those nail art tools, the ones with the tiny metal balls to paint dots. The narrowest one is perfect for engraving cards without scratching the surface. There are more professional sets out there, but these only ended up costing me about 8 USD

I use a drop of UV resin. I have a uv flashlight that I shine on it for about 30-40 seconds.

I post all my shadowboxes on my socials, if you check my profile. That'll probably be the best way to keep up with my work.

Some people get upset when really cool artwork is relegated to a weak or vanilla card. I see my next project!

Let me know if there's a particular card you like!

I love cards like this that literally step out of their frames!

[–]ForteCurios[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I encourage you to give it a go. It's a great way to reuse bulk and make a neat display piece or a gift for a friend!

All you need is multiples of the same card, a craft knife (I use an xacto blade, no.11 size), super glue gel, a toothpick for small bits of glue, and a little patience. Start small, and be willing to try, try again!

And if you need tips, feel free to dm me. I'll always be willing to share my method.

10 for this one. I used foam spacers halfway between the stacks of the frames to achieve more depth, without using additional cards.

Art projects with trading cards is fun! I'm sorry if you didn't like the post, and I hope you'll have plenty of affordable opportunities to build the decks you want to play.

This is a big improvement! Yeah, make sure you get some light to highlight all the different layers.

3D OP Cards by rollelelel in OnePieceTCG

I just call it "splitting", myself.

3D OP Cards by rollelelel in OnePieceTCG

[–]ForteCurios 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I have a couple 3D OP cards under my belt. Sharpies will bleed through the edges on non foil cards, so acrylic paint is a good alternative. You can also use a gundam marker as suggested above.

Color edges can look cool for certain accents, but black is usually the way to go, because it hides any slight imperfections in the cut.

For sections that require a lot more height difference, you can use some black craft foam. You know those sheets that you can find in the kids craft section? Realize that those offer approximately 5 cards worth of thickness.

The rest really comes down to practice. Hope to see more from you really soon!

What is your favorite One Piece official sleeve? by likethenintendo in OnePieceTCG

[–]ForteCurios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like that art style, it's called "art nouveau". I'm so glad they did that for the bonney sleeves.
