How I Make TRADING CARDS! + Creature Re-Design

  • Опубликовано: 1 авг 2019
  • Since I started making my creature cards people have been asking HOW and WHERE I make them... well time to spill the beans, here is how you make them (sort of) + a bonus redesign an old critter!
    Go check out my / dinanorlund if you are interested in collecting my creature cards + stickers and a limited postcard!
    You can also support me by buying my books at hushbird.com
    Thank you for all your support!
    Materials:
    Printer is printed.com
    I use InDesign for adding bleed and exporting image to CMYK (from RGB)
    For this video I used Ipad + procreate to design the card and creature
    normally I would use a watercolour sketch + Krita on my PC
    A Pokemon card is 63 x 88 mm, but it's easier to test print with business card sized cards and A7 postcards.
    Illo sketchbook, square
    Colerase pencil in various colours
    Ballpoint pen: BIC Soft Feel Ballpoint Pens Black 3 Pack.
    Pen: Zig Cartoonist Mangaka Flexible Marker Pen - Fine Tip - Black
    Schmincke Horadam watercolours: Lemon Yellow, Pure yellow, Transparent Orange, Purple magenta, Ultramarine finest, Phthalo Blue, Phtalo Green, yellow Ochre, Burnt Sienna, burnt Umber, Sap Green, Indigo.
    Pencil: 8B Faber castell 9000 pencil, jumbo and normal
    Music:
    Intro is Gymnopedie no 1
    When it ended, we just began again
    and 02 - my proposal, he said no

    Just stumbled upon your channel and learned you had passed. Was typing a message to reach out about how awesome your work is and wanting to collaborate on a project I'm working on called WEFA. I know I didn't know you but I just wanted to let you know how good it felt watching you create and If I bring WEFA into the world I dedicate a piece to you. ❣

    I am so saddened to hear that the creator of this video passed on to the next realm.
    As another female who loves monsters and fantasy, I was hoping to befriend and network with Dina. I bet she was an amazing person.
    So imaginative and creative and very kind to produce this how-to for all of us to see. Thank you.🙏🏼

    That was a wonderful demonstration of how to make cards. I am messing around with the mechanics of a card game. I make cards by using pencil and colored pencil on index cards. The quality isn't very good. Howeer the cards are usable. It is good for playtesting. Once I figured out the mechanics, I can make nicer pictures with higher quality. Maybe I can even get them printed out. There is no sense in spending a lot of effort making a card pretty if it just won't work very well in game. It seems that mechanics is king in a card game..
    The most daunting thing about making art for cards is the huge scale involved. I can make an amazing painting in Krita with realistic rendering. I get into shading and texture. However the downside is that it is very time consuming. It takes me a few hours to do a single picture. I am okay with doing it. I can focus for long periods of time. Having a wonderful artpeice at the end is so worth it. However doing this for a card game would be very difficult to do. Card games require a lot of cards. Each card has its own picture. So doing a lot of pictures starts to be come ovwerwhelming. Doing a large collection of pictures in general is overwhelming. It is okay to have twenty pictures or so. However if hundreds of pictures are needed, then it starts to be a problem. Big trading card games solve this problem by hiring a whole team of artists to do the art. More artists can do more pictures in a timely manner. For example Magic the Gathering cards look amazing. THe pictures are rendered so well and so realisticly. Wizards of the Coast pulls this off by hiring a bunch of artists do do the pictures for it. I can't afford this now. I don't have any income coming in at all.
    I like the picture done in this video. The dream weaver is so cute and pretty. The picture is so flat, but it still looks great. The character esign is good, and that is the part that really counts. I looked carefully, and I see that the picutre is cell shaded. That is a good way to go, if one is startng out, and they have to do all the pictures themselves. Having a two dimensional picture is easier and faster than a rully rendered three dimentional picture. It still acceptable. Heck some people out there are huge fans of 2D anamation and the decry the switch of animated movies into CG. Cell shading provides some three dimentional depth to the picture. However it is not as realistic as the full blown shading that is in images like CG animation and Magic the Gathering Cards. So this is a place where I can cut corners. If I do cell shading, I can finish pictures fast. Then I can churn out a lot more pictures to accomodate the needs of a card game.
