Thanks! I tried a while ago to fit it under the scroll but that didn't work very well. I just updated my template with the artist credit at the bottom of the scroll.

Example:

Another thing I've noticed:

Are you picking card art based on the title alone, or the scripture the card is based on? You said in the original thread that you wanted to make this feel more like a Biblical game, and I don't think Daniel 11:31 was talking about some weird mutant creature.

I don't know what Daniel was describing, but I don't think he describes what it looks like. It is "abominable" and that is all we know. I think it's fine to take artistic license in the artwork, especially since it is hard to find a quality piece of art depicting a horrible statue standing in a hebrew temple. The only card above that really isn't scripturally accurate at all is Consuming Fire. The story is really about an angel who points his staff at a pile of food and it bursts into flames. As you know, THAT is pretty hard to find in a quality piece of art, so I chose a picture of angels dealing with fire. Obviously if Cactus adopted this template, they wouldn't choose the same art that I would, but that's what makes these fun cards.

Fair enough, just be careful not to stay too far into fantasy imagery if you want to keep the Biblical idea of the game intact.

Yeah, some cards are nearly impossible to find good artwork for. Though regarding consuming fire, Cactus managed to find some decent artwork that depicted the event:

Kings/Herods

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #13 on:** September 14, 2012, 06:04:53 PM »

Two quick things

1) Salome's ability has a hyphenated word. While this isn't a problem, it's something you should try to avoid if you can. (Under Paragraph tools, uncheck hyphenate)
2) This may just be me, but there's a tiny black dot in your paper texture to the left of the third line of special abilities. The way it's positioned, my brain keeps seeing it as a period. That'd be easy to clone-stamp out.

The cards look amazing. Especially love Herod's Treachery and Dungeon. Keep em coming!

By the way, about half of the "Weapon-Class" symbol on Philistine Chariot and Horses is cut out by a horse head...

I think the overlap of the art over the symbol is cool!

Master KChief · « **Reply #18 on:** September 14, 2012, 11:24:02 PM »

I also like the overlap! Break the borders bro!

You put the ability of Herod's Temple on Herod's Dungeon.

Herod’s Dungeon (TP)
Type: Site • Brigade: White • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: While blocking with a Herod while this Site is unoccupied, you may capture a male human Hero with strength 7/* or greater and place it here. When you block with Herodias, you may discard a captured Hero. • Identifiers: Israel • Verse: Matthew 14:3

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #20 on:** September 15, 2012, 01:24:09 AM »

Overcome by Philistines is not weapon class.... it'd be rather overpowered if it was.

I like the cards. Anyway,the card is Overwhelmed by Philistines, not overcome.

I think if I had to pick my top 5 favorite Redemption art, they'd all be from your cards (except maybe King of Tyrus). How do you find such ridiculously awesome art? Sheesh

drb1200 · « **Reply #26 on:** October 07, 2012, 08:55:06 PM »

FINALLY updated with Tier 4!!! I included an alternate art Astrologers for good measure.

Look great! (Other than painfully White Jesus in MTM)

AAAAAND Tier 6! Priests, Prophets and Demons

Master KChief · « **Reply #35 on:** October 08, 2012, 03:24:23 PM »

Great looking cards like always. I really like how you keep the border color the same as the brigade color (except for the demons, but the black looks way awesome on them). Makes the cards easily identifiable.

dermo4christ · « **Reply #36 on:** October 08, 2012, 05:46:23 PM »

My favorite art on these new creations are, by far, the two demons. Wicked sweet!

Interesting how you chose the Espada 4 from a Japanese anime show for Wandering Spirit.

Take a closer look towards the center. you can see the number 4 on the left pect and he has the black lines beneath the eyes. Plus the wings are from his release form

Master KChief · « **Reply #40 on:** October 08, 2012, 10:00:11 PM »

Haha yeah, wow, nice catch, totally didn't see the 4 there before. I'm guessing this is a fanmade picture then, as it looks quite a bit different than both of his release forms.

I am actually working on my own trading card game, but the problem is that I'm not very good at complex mechanics. I'm more of a simple card game kind of guy.
