Because I'm collecting Doctor Who Alien Attax cards at the moment, I thought, wouldn't it be fun to do Flight Rising on-line Trading Cards? Cards we could keep a site somewhere, or on a dragon's profile, and maybe start a game with. We've already discussed some things in the Chat box down below. Stats will probably be the stats the dragons will have on site, prehaps at different levels. Hatchlings will be lvl 1, then you can choose to have another or more cards of your dragons at say lvl 5, lvl 15, up to lvl 20 when they Max out. There will also be a database of cards, just not sure where we will put them. I am gonna need some help with this though. Here is a basic doodle I did for the card's layout: linkI was thinking of doing painted backgrounds for the different elements. Size I was thinking of doing: 350x500 I was also thinking of doing them for free. Questions: Is the size acceptable? Should they be bigger/smaller? Any ideas on the design? Should there be rarities? should they be fully collectible? Or should they just be like an adoptable like thing? If it's ok, should we use the site art, or do our own art for the dragons? (I was thinking of letting people also use their own fan art anyway, in special limited edition.) Any views or opinions you have on these will be greatly appreciated, even if you are poo pooing the idea. Also any help on designs would be appreciated too.

I already posted this same message in the shoutbox, but just in case it gets lost during a conversation; I think we should really ask permission to the admins first, to see if they are ok with it. I remember them saying they want the FR art to remain exclusive on the site, especially when we're talking about large quantities of art. And I wanted to say we needed to do it before we get all too excited, but I see Im too late! We are too excited already! I love the idea, tho we should really check it first with the admins..

Well, in the case of them nay-saying their own art (which is totally understandable) maybe it would be possible to do the fanart thing, as Harpy mentioned. Similar to how they have one line art for each breed and gender, do the same thing for the cards? We could still tell that it's a guardian or imperial or what have you, but that way we don't have to worry about taking their art.
But I love the idea, and it's great that you want to do them for free. It would be interesting to make some sort of game...the mechanics are already sort of there in the clan strengths/weaknesses, and individual breed bonuses.

Well, Undel replied to the Reddit and it's not an outright no, but it looks like they'll need more information when Harpy has time to check in and post there.

Well we can use the images so long ha the game stays in their forums. I'm guessing that includes any sort of database.
monochrome, that would be helpful. What can you do?
I did take my camera into the park for a bit of inspiration for backgrounds...and then the batteries died ;-;

I still want to do this fyi, just having trouble with design getting motivatd, but now it's open-ish, maybe I can get more motivated and organised, might do a thread asking for volunteers/help/jobs lol.
