    I know 5-Color can involve a large amount of proxies, so do you think that we could start a discussion where we maybe show off some of the proxies that we have made? I really enjoy making proxies, especially with new art.

    I also recently figured out how to make foil cards. I would love to show some of them off and see others' proxies as well.

    Would anyone be interested in this?

    Well, since you love to make proxies so much, would you be interested in making a Power 9 proxy set for me?

    I'll trade you something for the work. Let me know!

    Also, if I had a scanner, I would put some on here. Maybe tomorrow if I have time I will take pictures of some of my drawn on cards. Note I say drawn on, not proxy.

    Looks like your card construction method is solid, but your source images show some low printed quality. Are you starting from good 300 dpi or 600 dpi source?

    Good quality, though. How is the thickness? I've used clear vinyl with good image quality and transparency, but the result is always noticeable thicker than a standard card. I've always wished to find a very-thin (like foil thin) transparent alternative, but have not yet.

    Yes. I do not mind making a set of power nine for you.

    I am currently out of the paper that I normally use, and am having a difficult time finding it. The normal place I buy it from decided not to carry it anymore. :(

    I will have something soon tho.

    Do you want a more realistic type power 9? Art Wise.

    Or do you want a more cartoony feel?

    Or do you want originals?

    I'd prefer the actual picture but if you can make it look badass with some homeade art, go for it.

    I'm not picky in the longrun. Thanks again and let me know what kind of a deal we can work out.

    Clip Art or not, I still really like those!

    If you want to make my Power Nine like those, go for it. Hell, if you feel so inclined, I could give you a list of cards I would love proxied up.

    Thanks man!

    actually, give me a list. I love making cards.

    It also gives me a chance to make cards that I didnt even think to do normally.

    And, a lot of the art, I actually do in photoshop. I may find some pictures, But I do a lot of work in photoshop also.

    So please, give me a list, and I will see what I can do.

    Im having a hell of a time trying to redo Contract From Below.

    This is of course one of my favorite cards. I have 4 beta ones, so I never thought about redoing it. So this is definitely a challenge for me. I've already spent hours on this one. LOL.

    Personally, I like the older format for Artifacts more. But, as I said before, I am not going to be picky when it comes to the proxies you make for me. I am impressed either way.

    Also, let me know what kind of a deal we can strike up for that list I sent you! Thanks bud!

    Hey there bud, sorry about the inactivity.

    Intuition or Gifts Ungiven could be some neat ideas for cards. Ooh, ooh, what about Guardian Beast? I bet that could be fun to look at!

    If I ever figure out how to actually post pictures and links on here, I will see if I can't take some pictures of some of my own modified cards. And by modified, I of course mean drawn on, possibly with or without dicks. :)
