I can't help you with that PMJ, since I don't do BW fakes at all... :(

You should ask Futachimaru, or DMX.

I don't think the holo will show up well if the background is solid gray. Try adding some other colors and see how that goes.

I did. This is what came out:

The background image, for reference: [link]

Did I do something wrong, or is this really how it's supposed to be? <<

Asche, could you give me a list of Fonts for DPPT cards, and what font sizes they are?

Wait, never mind, two questions, what sizes, and what do you need Humanist For?

What do you use Futura/Gill Sans for and where on the card. So technically I would like a Font Guide?

PMJ, sometimes I don't even use the lighter holosheet, it depends on the situation. Sometimes I just play around with the colored one. It's not perfect, but it's better in some cases.

Holofoil for BW-style promos? I heard it's not as atrocious as the regular one...

  • x2 layers (duplicate the image)
  • #1 Color Dodge Filter
  • #2 Multiply Filter

Multiply must always be at the bottom, and you can play around with opacity on multiply, as that one decides how "shiny" it becomes :)

I generally have the color dodge one as 70-100% opacity and multiply image as 50-80% area. Completely depends on the background used and how much you wish to see (and how shiny you wish it to look)

I don't however use CMP's image (the one above) I have my own which I meshed together :)

Do we have any holo sheets that give the effect of the CoroCoro Shiny Mew and the JPN Shining Gyarados and Magikarp?

Not quite what I'm looking for. ;)

I need a holo sheet like this: http://media.photobucket.com/image/shining%20gyarados%20japanese/FFRPG_pictures/Pokemon%20Card%20Collection/Ultra%20Rare%20and%20Special%20Cards/IMG_2063.jpg

See how the Magikarp and Gyarados sparkle?

Give this one a try:

Here's another, in case the one above doesn't work/look right:
jpn_shinyfoil2.png

EDIT: After doing a bit more research and finding some higher-quality scans of the Japanese Shining Magikarp, Gyarados, and Mew, I discovered that my previous foils were more inaccurate than I thought, so I made 2 new versions. It would seem that the Japanese Shining Pokemon cards mentioned above actually combine the classic "dots" foil with another pattern consisting of small dots arranged in a matrix-like pattern (what I tried to replicate below; not perfect, but better than my other attempts). It would appear that the classic foil is only applied to the background of the illustration, while the "shiny treatment", as I call it, is applied to the entire card, but fainter outside the illustration.

jpn_shining_treatment_v2_dot_matrix_by_karite_kita_neko-d4wdcyg.png

So, yeah, if you want to make Shining Pokemon like these, you'll use 2 different foil sheets. I guess you would start out by making it like a classic holo, then apply one of these foils over it. You'll have to play around with blending modes to make it look right depending on your card. Settings will probably be different with each type and illustration. 90% Dodge seems to work best with the last one. [Example]

EDIT 2: If all else fails, try this one:

^Epic things from Aki again, I see? :D

I downloaded the Photoshop CS6 beta and decided to have a tinker; here are some Classic-series textures for you :D

Psychic
Fire
Grass
Fighting
Lighting
Colourless
Water
Trainer

Trainer is a little bit slap-dash but it's the best you're going to get when you consider how little of it is actually visible on the card. Ripped from PokéBeach scans, please acknowledge this in your attribution. Do not, however, credit me. If you do I will set you on fire. Have fun! :D

I was wondering how long it'd be before someone picked up on the filenames. Apparently not very :p

RE: Fake Card Resources and Help

I think I'm in the same boat as Giantoshawott - is there a font guide for DPPt / SP series blanks (similar to the guide for the HGSS blanks)? I've looked through the first post and didn't see one, and a quick Keyword search in the thread didn't find anything. I'm most likely just not seeing it. xD

I don't want to bug PMJ / CMP / other card makers to make cards for me anymore so I'm just trying to learn how to do this myself. ;0
