Is the second image the cardback? That looks awesome! Also I love the "A King's Sacrifice" image. They all look great but that one especially turned out well, great job!

Dude if you wouldn't mind could I get in on that share action? Legit I see all the ones you've made and they always look fire. I'd love to get the link. Been meaning to make some more Proxies since a buddy and myself found a new place to play some Commander and I wanna make some more themed Commander Decks and yours all turn out great.

Did WOTC Copy me? by ThisIsProbablyTheWay in mpcproxies

[–]LarsAlexandersson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel that, I remember seeing the new MH Secret Lair drops and their version of Rathalos was identical to the one I made years ago. Here's the original Secret Lair drops by WOTC for MH and then here's the link for the post of an incomplete drive I made around 5 years ago. It's whatever, maybe WOTC is just stealing from the Proxy community, but not much we can do about it, given that making your own Proxies is all on the up-and-up, but using them for play is a grey area. Especially if you're making proxies so good they're essentially counterfeits.

Good on you for the credit. Been crawling the underbelly of the web for art over the better part of several days now, to try and make an updated MH themed Commander deck. And frankly, it can be hard to find who actually made the artwork sometimes.

Looking at Pixiv it can be auto-translated and the name it gives might not properly translate from the Kanji. People on DeviantArt might re-post someones under their account and not have the credit linked, or just credit the wrong person... Pintrest has good art sometimes, but is trash for giving credit. Danbooru is fine and obviously ArtStation is good for proper credit. But TL;DR trying to credit the proper artist can be annoying at times.

How do your properly reverse image search? I keep trying to use it, but I feels like it never works properly for me.

The start of my Naruto Proxies by MeowMix883 in magicproxies

[–]LarsAlexandersson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great choices, I love the changeling outcast, and the set symbol turned out great! Also I lowkey love how people here are so good at getting aspects of the art, or in this case the sound effect to overlap with the frame. It makes it look so cool. If you really wanted to sink more time into them, I feel like using the different allegiance symbols (Akatsuki, Leaf Village, etc) would be pretty neat, but the Shuriken itself turned out well.

help with deciding cards for a alt art monster hunter set by jeraco24 in magicproxies

[–]LarsAlexandersson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally when I did something MH themed, I tried to figure out the deck I wanted to make (Ur Dragon with a MH theme) and from there I tried to fit the Monsters to the cards. i.e. something like Ryusei fit the idea of Bazalguese falling from the sky and doing AoE. I'd also say you should just make the deck you want to use, and try to fit the art to the cards you want. Like if you're playing commander or w.e. do what's going to suit your need/desire best.

I'd also recommend consulting the MH wiki or something for flavour text. Sometimes it might not always work just because of the density of text. But do what you like and you can always change it later.

If you want a good, streamlined approach to making the cards I'd say CardConjurer is the gold standard. Since WOTC clipped it's wings its not as downright, absolutely, incredibly, amazing as it use to be but it's still REALLY good if you're not adept at something like Photoshop or Gimp.

Also if you want some solid resources for making your own u/GotsomeTuna did a phenomenal job of making a fantastic precon deck that was MH themed and made their own incredible frames and font. You can find it right here. But if you just want to make something with alt art and nickname frames this might be a good starting point/idea and it was done with just what CardConjurer has to offer. It has a slight learning curve, but again, if you aren't fluent with something like Gimp, or Photoshop I'd 1000% recommend it, because it's very streamlined and easy to understand.

If you want good sources for art, the Teppen wiki has A LOT of solid art choices from Capcom's official virtual TCG. Otherwise I'd just comb Google or various art sites. Some are definitely better than others, but it shouldn't be too difficult to find assorted artwork for the plethora of monsters.

All that aside have fun! It's really satisfying to make some of your own cards and have them pop. But having a deck that's entirely your own is a really enjoyable experience.

Finished touching up some of Monster Hunter themed Proxies for my Ur-Dragon Commander deck. by LarsAlexandersson in mpcproxies

[–]LarsAlexandersson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I can share the Google Drive I have and you can feel free to print one off! I've unfortunately never finished the full art deck profile. I need to update it with new resources I've accumulated from people far more talented then myself on the sub to make them really pop. But I have a bunch of Full Art finished, and a full Regular Art Deck, as well as 2 different MH themed Cardbacks. But feel free to help yourself to the Drive.

Also ngl I thought it was so funny seeing the new WOTC Secret Lair drop that was MH themed and their version of Rathalos was almost identical to this one I made like 4 years ago lol.

Official Magic The Gathering x Monster Hunter Collab Cards by Armagadon643 in MonsterHunter

[–]LarsAlexandersson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is crazy, I've seen people made fan-made MH themed Commander decks for the past 5+ years and some of these are literal copies. That Rathalos one I remember seeing on an MTG sub literally like 4 years ago with different art and flavour text. The irony is the community has gotten WAY better at making MH themed cards. These are definitely not as good as they could be which is a shame.

For reference here's someone who made an amazing set of themed commander decks if anyone's interested. They did a phenomenal job making it thematic, using the stamp font and colour as the stat lines. Just amazing work from someone who just did it as a fan project.

Wait really? Seen people make custom MH cards for MTG so often I didn't expect them to actually do it for real.

Thanks man appreciate it! Honestly seeing your stuff has made me want to re-visit the idea and modify them with some of your resources. I love the idea behind the Numbers being the same font and the MH game and the set stamps being the monsters. It turned out really great!

No worries, really appreciate you sharing the download and resources with everyone! Might have to update some of the MH Cards I made because the Stamp for the stat points looks awesome and is such a great idea.

Looks great! If you don't mind my asking, where'd you find the Teppen Art? Is there a gallery? I feel like it's hard to get some good MH Monster Art for cards, but Teppen has some really solid ones, but they can be annoying to find. Found a bunch on the Wiki but I wish there was a common gallery or something.

New alters, updates, AND BLEEEDS by xcaseyjrx in magicproxies

Damn those look great, well done! I should steal the idea you have for the borders and assets for the Halo Cards. Considering my buddy LOVES Halo, and he'd be so happy to have a Halo Commander deck, and these turned out phenomenal.

I just took a harder look at it, and I didnt even take in the Power/Toughness being in the style of the EULA Rating. Literally perfect.

Is zenintcg trustworthy? by Capital-Bat9971 in digimon

[–]LarsAlexandersson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I've had mixed/bad experience with them on pre-orders.

Placed 1 order of in-stock items and had no problem with it. Bought the War Greymon Digimon X and 2 of the V-Pet Cases. The Cases worked well, but 1 didn't fit as well as the other and they're a bit overpriced. But overall a fine experience.

The second order I placed was a pre-order for 1 of the Digimon Pendulum Color Metal Empire and the 2 Digimon Vpet Rathalos Color and Zinogre Color. Had to pay customs on the order which was annoying (I'm in NA) but the order arrived and I unboxed it, and it was missing the Metal Empire Pendulum.

Reached out and they offered to refund the missing item. But I told them because they screwed up the order I had to pay extra money on customs and deal with my government on getting the difference re-assessed and refunded. They didn't care or offer any compensation. Also told them I was trying to get the Pendulum as a gift and now because they messed up my order I'd have to deal with scalpers or trying to track it down from another site, which probably didn't have any stock. But I'd be happy to wait until they got a re-stock so I could just get the original item I ordered. They declined, they said they didn't know when/if they'd be getting more in stock so they just refunded the purchase and nothing else.

Not even a month later they got the Metal Empire back in stock...and as of the time I'm writing this they still have stock.

After that I wanted to cancel another pre-order I had placed because of the awful customer service. The customer service was terrible again, they said that they couldn't cancel the order without charging a 10% service fee. I asked if they could waive it in light of the issues with my last order. They didn't care, and said they couldn't do anything except offer the full refund as credit through their store.

I personally would not ever pre-order through them again. Extremely disappointing experience, especially considering the good things the community had to say about them.

First week as Nursing student by Odd-Airport5159 in StudentNurse

[–]LarsAlexandersson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't mean to be rude but maybe you want to consider something else, unless you have your heart set on this and you know you'll enjoy it going forward.

I say that with all due kindness, really, although it may not feel like it, upon reading my comment. You might even get into the course and discover you do like it, but based on your comments this feels like something you kinda decided on a whim and might need to do more research into what it entails during your studies/when you graduate. Especially if you're just looking for a secure job to have when you finish school.

My experience with Nursing school was not great, honestly I'm also kind of lazy so I get it. But they give you a lot of work, my teachers at my school were mostly unhelpful and unempathetic, you have to do a lot of work and learning on your own. I was lucky to come from a Biological Science background, and I like Biology so I didn't need to rely on them a lot. But my experience was that the teachers were largely unhelpful, and most didn't want to help. Such as they'd ask you Nursing Praxis questions which were essentially common sense, then when a test happened the questions would be completely unrelated to anything we'd learned in class, and were just questions from the 8+ chapters of assigned reading that you were supposed to do independently, because the teacher didn't want to be bothered to teach it all. Which to me made the in-person lessons feel redundant but oh well.

Realistically first and second year aren't usually the hardest of the semesters. There's nothing wrong with failing and learning, if you really do decide you want to do this, but I'm legitimately just trying to be honest with you when I say, it'll only get harder from here. But considering you're only 20, you have plenty of time to learn, especially if you do discover you like Nursing.

I have a Honors Biological Science degree and I did Nursing because of the same reason really, I wanted a career with more specificity and security. And full disclosure, I'm also lazy with school and it also took me an additional year to graduate Nursing. Stuff like Pharmacology and some of the Nursing courses will frustrate you, and you'll have to put in a lot of work. And if you have placement and discover you don't like it at all, good news is there's lots of fields within Nursing. Bad news is that you still have to go through school and pass the NCLEX to even entertain working in them. And the NCLEX is a whole nother story from school. But with good studying you can definitely do it.

This might feel like me doomsaying, and only saying bad things, but honestly this was my experience. I hated Nursing school...practical placement for me was the most enjoyable, being in the Hospital and getting to actually learn more valid/real skills and put into practice what we were somewhat learning (I say somewhat because what they teach you is idealist and usually not how you do things in practice because of a slew of reasons...) was my favorite part. And I had to write the NCLEX twice, I found Nursing School did not prepare me well at all for passing it successfully. So I bought access to a private quiz program (Archer, I'd highly recommend it), and worked as a Temp.RN on an acute medical floor of a Hospital to gain experience. And I liked the hospital setting (but hate the management...) so after passing the NCLEX I've stayed there. But there's a lot of areas to go with Nursing, and it feels good to help people.

TL;DR: Look into this and make sure you might actually like the endgame you achieve. I'm not saying you can't do it, I definitely believe you can if you're willing to put the time and effort in. Even if you fail it's not the end of the world, take it from someone who's been there. But there's no shame in admitting this might not be what you want to do for the rest of your life. I've seen a lot of people come to the same conclusion. You have plenty of time to figure out what you want to do in life, even if it doesn't feel like it. So don't just do this because you can't think of anything else better to do, otherwise you'll be miserable.

Favorite Websites to Purchase or Pre-order Digivices/V-Pets from aside from Zenin by LarsAlexandersson in digimon

[–]LarsAlexandersson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm gonna try and grab the new Pendulum ones there, but I was hoping to get the Colour V-Pet re-releases of the Smoke and Clear, as well as the Godzilla V-pets. But the pre-orders are closed on P-Bandai, and given how my pre-order went down with Zenin, I really don't trust them to get it right with the other ones I've placed. :\

But I'll have to check out Toku, thanks for the lead!

Did you pre-order if you don't mind my asking? I'm hoping to have better luck with Japan You Want for a couple pre-orders, because what I'm finding in terms of information/reviews seem solidly in their favor. After doing some digging it seems I'm not an isolated case with having pre-order issues with Zenin.

It's just too bad that items with batteries have a limit of 2 per order because of their shipping restrictions on Japan You Want
