3D card #2

[l0qii]

For my second run at a 3D cards I did Annul. I used matte board this time for spacers. I think it turned out better than the Chaos Charm. It's 6 layers. I still didn't bother to raise/lower the textbox though. Any feedback is appreciated.

Holy crap!!

That one is wonderful.

Good Job

Its very, very cool.  Now, if I understand correctly, the "original" 3D cards just had flat layers, but you actually tilted some of the layers, right?

That is awesome.  Keep it up.

Vast improvement.  Beautiful job on the artwork  I am glad you took my advice regarding shaping the artwork.  Your shaping has taken 3-D cards to a whole new level.  Cudos for moving this M:TG art genre forward.  Came out great.  I do want to point out one last point I can see as a point of improvement.  The card edges could get damaged not being supported as well as they could.  By this I mean have the space material extend out to the edges of the card.  Ben Cordell normally did not do this in his card creations, but I asked him to do it for the Dakmor he did for me, which he did.  So from the side mine looks solid like a stack of cards, while yours has the radiator look to it, which you can see on the 3rd pic easily.

Thanks! I really value all your opinions, especially from those of you who have seen other 3D cards in person. I considered extending the spacers all the way to the edge, but I honestly like the radiator look better. And as for it being too fragile, well the artwork itself is already far more fragile than the edges are. I think as long as it is well taken care of, there is no additional risk leaving it the way it is. Of course I'd do whatever a buyer requested though.

I plan on doing another card this week. I'll post pictures when it's done.

What card are you doing next?

As far as protection goes, I keep mine stored in a plastic case with a top slip cover.  

[l0qii]

I don't know. I'm still looking through my collection to find something cool that I have 6-8 of to spare.

What card are you doing next?

[Dilligaf]

how much do you charge for a request?

i tried doing a reiver demon.. but it didnt come out so good.. hands are all shaky.. ya know, on account of the Meth.

[l0qii]

Requests are free!
But if you want to own it when I'm done, then it'll will cost you ;)

If you have a particular card in mind, PM me. If it's one I think I can do a good job on, we can discuss it.

excellent job!!!

Well now, get your 20 or Mana cards done, then build the remainder of your deck.  Take it out to a tournament, and see if they will allow you to play the deck or not!   :D

[l0qii]

haha, I thought about that... then I thought about doing an oversized 3D card! Then I stopped thinking because it hurt.

l0qii - Thank you for sharing your wonderful cards.

Can someone post some links to pics of additional examples of this artform?  This is the first I have ever seen or heard of 3-D magic cards and I am quite interested in seeing more of these beautiful works of art!

Thanks
