Sooo I decided to make the Trading Cards signature size, the down side of this is space, there's not really much space to put stats, unless I move some things around. that is here the input side of things comes in xD Here are the cards, I've only done a Fae headshot for now, but hope to do the others soon. Things I might do to it: - Get rid of element icon - Find a better font that works in tiny format. - Change the background (which is, at the moment, one of my photos.) - Maybe make the background match the element of the dragon. - Or to show rarity. Availability: - Your own dragon is only for you, unless you want it made public. - Gods/NPCs/Familiars - Available to everyone, might do them has 'packs', where you get random ones. - Special Flight Rising Flock card - super duper rare, may make others for other fan sites, which will be really rare too. Or limited. Prices: - Using site art, free - Using custom art, small price to pay, maybe something like 100 treasure. - 'Packs' Will only have custom art, and may have up to 4 cards a pack, with the price being something like 300 - 350 treasure. Help wanted: - Advice on layout if any. - Art helpers. Can you do pixel art? Would like help with backgrounds and headshots. If you can do a full dragon to fit, then that's good too x3. Lineart only for dragons. I'll try and pay you somehow, and your name will be up in lights, as it were. (When I do the thread on the site, there will be a list of names of who did what (can't remember the name of it for now..)) -I may need help running the thread when it is up.

Have you checked if the BB code for FR allows for alt text? If so, that would be a great place to put card stats! Some other thoughts/feedback: - I think having the background show the element is a good idea. Rarity can be a border or title-box color, perhaps? - Simple fonts are best. Something like Verdana; nice and basic, not distracting and easily readable. Let the pretty/fancy parts be the art. I have some experience in doing pixel art; this is the most recent thing I've finished. What exactly are you looking for? Art for each dragon breed to fit inside the image box in the samples above?

Yes to the art, though I just found out they are a bit tall for the siggy, -.- But they look good on profiles. Could do a smaller siggy version. That Griffin is fantastic. I'll have to check for alt text, but I like the idea of the borders. If you were to be paid Inventrix, what sort of payment would you prefer?

You could do a profile version with the whole card and a mini sig version that just has the image and the header? I'll give a tundra a shot tonight. Hmm. Probably treasure.

It's not completely done yet (horns, ears, "line weights", etc.) but is this the sort of thing you had in mind?

I'd make them larger for display on dragon profiles

Okay it completely failed to upload to tumblr for unknown reasons so let's try twitter... And if that doesn't show in here, here is the tweet with the picture attached.

I see it now, yes that is the sort of thing I was hoping for, love it. Excellent. Since it doesn't seem like you can see images hosted on my personal server, I'd probably need some other way to get them to you. Although if it works, this link goes to the finished female tundra picture. I mapped the colors so they can be easily altered to match any non-gened color and element combo - that one is Sky/Jade Earth. Adding gene patterns shouldn't be hard. If that's all good, we can discuss payment etc. and I can get started on the others!

Inventrix It is all good, I could see it via the link, don't know why it didn't show up in the thread before though.. How much would you like for each piece?
