Edit: This thread is now my workshop for making old or custom cards for people in the style shown below. Keep in mind I need decent size art to work with, so some cards may be impossible or blurry when complete. Post your requests or cruise around and see what other people have gotten!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I was really bored last night, I understand these aren't perfect as I used Times for the text box and used MTG Set Editor for the top and bottom of the frames.
That said, I really like how these look.
P.S. Akroma's whole title doesn't fit when using MTGSE, the ommision was intentional.
Akroma needs her full name "Akroma, Angel of Wrath." Also, that is the order of her abilities on gatherer, but looking at Razia, Boros Archangel (and also Auriok Champion), i think that Akroma's keywords, if printed today, would be reordered:
Flying, first strike, trample, vigilance, haste, protection from black and from red
Is the blur at the bottom necessary? I know the real textless cards modify the art at the bottom to offset the invisible text box, but it is not a straight-up blur.
Could you post your original Akroma without the blur, for comparison?
I had tried the color wash out used on the real cards, and it just bothers me too much, I think the blur is less off putting but still makes the text clear. With no blur or anything some text would easily be harder to read, and sad to say, the purpose is rules text first, art second, though I usually disagree
I can understand the need to offset the background in order to read the text, but the blur really upsets my eyes. They slip off the text and stick on the "wrongness" of the blur (I wonder if the picture did not load correctly or if there is a smudge on my glasses, etc).
Looks like you got yourself a shop man. Umm ... i was wondering ... any chance that you could maybe do just .... one more guild card? . Just wondering if you could by any chance do a Orzhov Guildmage? I totally understand if you don't take this request. Just FYI, I DO have a picture 4 it if you can't find it.
Also, Thanks alot for the Ghost Council. I really appreciate it.
Due to an ovewhelming number of female inquiries (in an MTG forum, one is overwhelming), i am inclined to let people know that i am in a committed relationship.

I really like the Akroma sans blur.

Seriously, the other cards are about 3 layers, this one is 17.
Also, Thanks alot for the Ghost Council. I really appreciate it.
I'm going to print it and put it in the sleeve with my original Undertaker.
Maybe you could try Bone Shredder with this art.
Could you make a swamp this way? So just like this, but with the text
T: add B to your mana pool
I know, I ask a lot, but I really like these, and I can't wait to play with them!
