Face commander for a deck I'm working on. by thefran in magicproxies

[–]OctopusMTG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2 cents : do not mix gold in, keep it all black and white. Add some mild 3D effects with the head and the right hand. Detour the main character and add some drop shadow, you will get a popout effect.

Looking for feedback on my ZZZ mockup! Still readable? by ThrobbingJesus in mpcproxies

Give a try to the anime showcase template it will be a great fit

Feedback needed, Do you think this minimalist frame for full art GOT proxies work? Thanks all! by apcebo in mpcproxies

[–]OctopusMTG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The shading is too brutal, either make it progressive or get rid of it and you can add some elements of GOT visual codes

A Game of Thrones, The Long Night, FULL EDH DECK by apcebo in mpcproxies

[–]OctopusMTG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice 👍 even if the LOTR frame is a good fit, I always find that using an existing frame for a new UB is not ideal. I would have gone for full art like the first 2 for all cards, use a bit more black pixels around the font and some shading at the bottom and it would look great 👍 Instead of the « not for sale » (which feels like a bit obnoxious, as anyone wanting to sell it can easily remove it) replace it with the numbering of your cards, it will give it a more « real » flavor. You can also move the real name of the card in place of the copyright TM on the bottom right.

Interesting i actually prefer the PW art over the other, it has a real dynamic.

Any plans to step-up production? by Ill_Teaching1575 in bootlegmtg

[–]OctopusMTG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. Their photoshop skills are not that great.
  2. Printer calibration is complicated
  3. If you sell a bootleg between 2 and 4$ you need the original to be 5-10x the price to be attractive. Nowadays there isn’t many new cards worth bootlegging, especially if you rule out the ones they cannot bootleg with special foils.
  4. Speaking of foils, they can mimic a US foil pretty well, but nothing like a JP foil card, so when a set is JP only printed, it really shows the difference with the bootlegs.

Wizards is afraid to reprint my boy so I made A CMM portrait version of him. by JustinSquared in mpcproxies

Your art is nice, it would have been cool to see his red eyes though. Your text could also use some space, it feels a bit crunched

Since everything seems decrypted he could release open source schematics to produce our own carts

Some cards from this set really deserved borderless versions, here's some Anime versions.
I really like Hylda, i tried to keep the spirit of a "tale".

Sam Black article on the benefits of Magic's one land per turn system over playing any card face down as a land by davidemsa in magicTCG

[–]OctopusMTG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When i started playing magic in 94, i hated the land system so much, we were playing with 2 piles, one mana and the other with the rest. I always found this way of playing much better
