Have you ever thought of using the print on demand company The Game Crafter to print your games? You can get game mats, cards (in several sizes and shapes), game tokens, dice, game boards, game boxes all printed by 1 company and delivered to your door.

How did u make the character come out like tht on ur computer and where is the card wrap video

That's really cool:)

I think this video would have been better with the video direct from the computer. Shaky cam and small view is not good.

@lazerrhino I am not an artist my man. I don't have the skills to show you how I created the art on my cards. I drew those characters by hand almost 6 years ago and haven't drawn much since - aka, I'm rusty as rust. I know there are a ton of people on You Tube who have art tutorials and you should research them. My skill set is in showing how to make the finished product. Sorry bud.

[lazerrhino]

can you help us how to draw decent please!

[lazerrhino]

i would love to do this but i suck at drawing on the computer :(

Another great and useful tutorial about TCG. Is 2.5x3.5 the standard size for TCG?

Thanks to you know we know how to make the cards. Now after the making of the cards, how do you make a card holographic as like to make it rare, super rare, ultra rare, and etc.? If you do know how, please inform me or make another tutorial of how to make a trading card holo. Thanks a lot.
