Card Faking Tutorial

[Ishino]

Hi! Ok, Question.
How do I get the symbols (ex, type symbols, rarity, poke-power etc) from the sheet you download, onto the card? I have no idea! Im using MS paint, and i have no idea now to tranfer the symbol without takin the white BG with it.

 

[Calaccio]

Sorry for my idiocy but how do you move selected objects/pixels whatever around on photoshop after you place them? It says something about rasterising layers, yet I don't know how to do that. Any help would be appreciated.

The exact location for dual weaknesses is so the middle is right underneath the K. I know this isn't very helpful, but...

Just trying to do my part.

Good tutorial,But I have a question.What font,size,width etc. do I use for the minus sign on attack damage?

 

[Dunsparce]

Why do people make Light Pokemon a part "light" type card?

In Japan, they're "Tamed", not "Light". They have nothing at all to do with the element of light :/

Good tutorial,But I have a question.What font,size,width etc. do I use for the minus sign on attack damage?

Same as for multiplication or addition, I think. Gill Sans Condensed Bold at size 12, 100% width. Allow me to correct the first sentence. I'm pretty sure, actually. I went and checked this before in one of my cards, and it seems fairly bang-on identical-- so I'd go with it.

Because they're trying to get under my skin and make me mad. :<

Because the current TCG has "Dark" Pokemon part Dark. Also, Fangking wanted to try something original sort of, and it works. Who are you to say it's wrong? The EX sets left out Light Pokemon, so Fangking took the liberty to make Light blanks for us. Be greatful that he made them for us.

I've got a quastion, how can you save the fonts?

A Question I have

How do I fit the Background on Delta Species Poke'mon blanks?

 

[Fangking Omega]

Takes a bit of precision. If you're in Photoshop, make sure your card blank isn't a background layer, but just a standard layer, then you want the Paint Bucket tool set to clear mode with a tolerance of between 10 to 20, and erase the white background. It should then allow you to insert your background behind the blank. Just have a bit of patience and try it.

If you're on Paint, it's a bit more difficult... I'd suggest taking the Delta bit that overlaps the pic, sticking it in another document for now and erasing around it so that it's all one solid white colour (I'd suggest you save this as a separate file for future use as well), then put in your background, and later copy and paste back in the delta bit, making sure that you set white to be clear rather than opaque on selected objects, and slot it over the image. A bit difficult to follow, but it should work.

I could just PM someone, but now I'm on the homestretch of my card being completed XD

In the guide, it mentions what you do for a Magma vs Aqua/Gym Leader thing, with the names, but where do you put the character image? I mean these things.

 

[Swampert_guy]

Where can I find the type icons for Ice, Poison, etc.?

 

[A5dd]

my photoshop is 7.0 version, however it don't contain the text style that fakecard required. why?

Light Pokemon can be one of three things:

a) Tamed Pokemon, as per the original Japanese cards. These cards have a very "nice" looking picture. See, in the originals, "Light" and "Dark" were more Tamed in both respects: tamed to be good, or tamed to be bad. Light in this sense is NOT a type, it's a temperment.

d) Delta Species Pokemon, as per physics. These Pokemon were exposed to electro-magnetic radiation, which is what light is made of. Just make them either metal, or part metal. Or perhaps just a different type.

b) Psychic Pokemon, as per the Japanese typing system. The Dark type represents evil intensions, and the Psychic type represents good ones. If you want to make light Pokemon, my advice would be to make them half-psychic, half something else.

Where can I find the type icons for Ice, Poison, etc.?

Because there is no Ice or Poison type in the TCG. They use Water and Grass.

True, but Swampert_guy was looking for the custom symbols some fakers use around here.
