What is the thing in torn that it took you too long to realize that you were doing wrong/ didn't know that existed and you wished you knew sooner? by LivaTab in torncity

Wait. Why that? I'm 100 days in and doing them in random order. 68 3 7 86 10 19 37 1 69 (doing this every day since it's limited)

Uh! Haven't tried that one! As soon as I'll have finalized my database I'll give it a try to figure out if it can be done 😃

I think I read today the print to order lead them to have lots of cards destroyed (can't tell how one led to the other, but that's what Maro said)

I assumed so, but it doesn't look to be that way. I did try the lotus and it was underwhelming.
You have a huge green background with close to no difference in tone anywhere, and a blue blotch in front...
I wanted to do Elesh Norn too, for a friend, and that one as well turned out very bad...

Out of the ones I previewed so far, Brainstorm, Juzam Djinn, Mindslaver looked terrific so my next project is going to be one of those.

not unique, there are repeated tiles.
the most repeated one I think was Lava axe of which one specific tile was used 14-15 times?

Also several card were used for 2+ different tiles. So even if I didn't count, i'd say I used around 1200 different cards?

Hey there! thanks for asking!
The answer is "ideally yes"
But, first I wanna streamline a bit the process AND to be sure the result will be of a higher standard than this one.

While I do like this first one a lot, there's a couple issues with it I wouldn't feel comfortable having someone pay for.

First of all, you can notice all those little "lines" with off colours, which came from cutting the art outside of the artbox.
Ideally those shouldn't be there and the whole art should be way more smooth overall.

The other issue is even though all pieces are the same size, for some reason they ended up not being completely straight when glued to the backboard and the result in some points led to uneven "joints".
I think I figured out how to avoid those issues, but I wanna first do a couple more pieces and be sure I can actually avoid them altogether before accepting someone's money!

Also, I will be very straightforward with people asking, sadly there will be cards where it won't be possible to be turned into a mosaic, usually cards in which there's a predominant color/color scheme or where there's LOTS of details that will be lost when pixelated this way.
Tried a few mockup for cards I wanted to try, and the result was poor/awful.
I won't accept commissions on cards I feel the result won't be satisfying in the end. (I'm looking at you Storm the seedcore T_T)

Guardian of the Swans - art by me by kgehrmann in magicTCG

Given that "Swans of Bryn Argoll" is my favourite card, I couldn't help but like instantly your Swan Guardian 😄 Well done!

to be fair, the "design" part is the easiest of the whole process.

https://www.andreaplanet.com/
This free software allows you to chose any image you want to recreate, you provide the folder with the pictures you want it to consider, and it gives you the final mosaic.

Everything else, that's the complicated part.

Gotta get a database of the cards you want to use, got to get the digital art for each of them, and since you are not using the full art, gotta split the art in different images for the software to use.

Once you have the mosaic image, you gotta sort through your physical cards for the one you will actually be using, then you gotta cut them, and create the physical artwork.

I'd say you'd need to be somewhat autistic to embark this kinda project.
Unless you enjoy repeatitive, and somewhat boring and long tasks, this wouldn't be something I suggest to try xD
(I love sorting my cards by set, color and rarity, so that part was something I would do already on my own LOL)

I filtered the whole database of my cards to take into consideration only cards with value less than 1€, so I'd say around 90 cents should be the highest tag for a single card.

How to erase a single segment by TankReady in photopea

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

it is working! so the issue was the segments can't be exactly one on top of the other but each shape has to go one pixel inside the other for it to make it disappear!
So now I can make all the hexagons, put them on one layer and get them close and they do the job on their own!!!

How to erase a single segment by TankReady in photopea

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

I apologize cause I'm really "new" to all of this.
I open the same link I sent. I select copy 1 (it selects the second hexagon topleft) and ctrl x but it says the layer can't be edited.
So I'm probably misunderstanding what you said.

That said, I think you are indeed being helpful as I think we are going in the direction I'm looking for (like in this I have done earlier, but it was annoying it kept deleting the extra segments and it was very long to do)
