Boring eel thingies? No thanks. It's a SNAIL/Slime theme.

I don't think you understand where I'm going with this.

(Cost One) Hagfish, the Slime Mold (Light)
Category: Slime
Effect: When this card is destroyed, add Slime Counters to a monster on the field equal to the Level of the monster that destroyed it.
ATK/ 1000
DEF/ 1000

Keep in mind, this is a loose idea.

Aarikku · Posted: Sun Jul 27, 2008 5:37 pm Post subject:

Why would a hagfish be a slime mold? I don't think they're even part of the same Kingdom. The card's not bad, but I'm not big on throwing a random hagfish into the middle of a snail theme.

I surprised you haven't suggested Slime Dragon yet.

That would be completely pointless. The game has enough Dragon themes. It doesn't need a Dragon in every series.

I suppose while we're here I should ask how the rest of your cards are coming along.

Themeless destruction... you have my attention. How would you rate it on a scale of 1 to 10?

Well, I haven't 100%'d the effect yet, but it's best for decks with small monsters that don't have a way to take down some of the bigger monsters.

Something like:

Select a monster you control; it can't attack this turn. Destroy 1 monster.

And I'm struggling with Mana costs and stuff.

How about:

(Cost Two) Rebellion of Tribes
Spell
Select a monster you control; it can't attack this turn. Destroy 1 monster.

First off, I've already got the name and picture. And the picture is EPIC. Secondly, wouldn't that make it a really good version of Sar-Chasm?

Well, until we come up with some other cost/restriction thing:

I'd love to see myself trump that thing. Until then, got any other cards to add?

Wow... I never thought I'd see a stck drawing on lined paper in this game. Either that's a quirk or you don't take the card seriously. I hope it's the former.

Kinda both, actually. The art supplies aren't really meant to be the most serious theme in the game.

Many-a year ago, my ancient Element deck contained four specialized techniques, each picturing one of the four basic Elements.

Now, they're remastered with new effects and colourshopping!

Format of first post changed to regular set format, and added the Snails.

You don't have an idea for a Secret Rare yet? Well, since this set features Knights and introduces Emperors, I assume you have a boss card for the Knights. Perhaps another Deity. Not as in a Divine God of the ______-____, just any Deity Creature. Something that would be banned in any other game. A card to rule all else.

No, not really, but think about a Deity Creature.

Aarikku · Posted: Fri Aug 01, 2008 2:06 am Post subject:

The boss card for the Knights already exists. And I don't like making Secret Rares out of cards that some decks might need 4 of. I have an idea, but it's used at the end of The Shmod Saga II, so I don't want to spoil it.

The set also features Art supplies, Snails and Skeletons, btw.

I've been working steadily with the cards I'm working on. My only problem is my mom has plans for the entire August. I'm barely home.

Good to know, but you should've posted that in [The Project of Re-Arting Brian's Cards]. This is solely new stuff, no redos.

True. Though the latest download of Lackey has the option for alternate arts, so I might sneak in a new picture for Noble Dragon or Chimera of Fate sometime. Probably not here, though.

That's not my newest creation. I made that just after we finalized Lightning-Armoured Chimera's new text. By which I mean I colourshopped it then - its first sketch was around the time of Tora.

So, is this Knight due to make a [Cards With a Vengeance] appearance anytime soon?

Here's some support for everyone's favourite Dark mascot:

And an alternate-art reprint of the Great Pumpkin himself, since he's not actually in any set so far.

You did an amazing job on it Pyrah. Perhaps you could give JenovaAlchemist some art pointers. He's okay, but he's below you and I. No offense if you're reading this man, but it's true.

Thank you. I do hope to become a well known if not famous artist someday. I prefer the traditional medium rather than the digital because I'm still learning Photoshop; so until I become more proficient with it, I won't be doing anymore Shmod art in Photoshop.

I wanted to post two WIPs, but now even my scanner won't work. This sucks.

I prefer the traditional medium as well, though for a different reason; I prefer to be involved spiritually in my art, something I find difficult to achieve with a machine.
