    [Official] Custom Tokens & Token Collection Thread

    This is the thread to post your custom tokens, printed or digital.


    As of March 19th, 2015, all token images must be hosted offsite. Additionally, tokens utilizing any elements from Wizards of the Coast's Intellectual Property MUST include their copyright information & the words "NOT FOR SALE" on them. This includes but is not limited to: Card Face, Power-Toughness box, Creature Type line, Mana symbols, Tap/Untap symbols, other in-game icons or symbols.

    Here are the updated rules that we expect to be followed here:
    • All tokens must be hosted off-site. Non-compliant posts will be moderated & the images removed.
    • Tokens may not be exact or near reproductions of actual WotC product.
    • NO discussion of printing or proxying techniques. This thread is concerned only with the manipulation of digital imagery. The staff of MTGS does not condone counterfeiting & will not have the community put at risk over this.
    • Proper artist credit must be given, in line with the Artwork Artist Credit rules.
    • Tokens utilizing elements of WotC's IP must display the standard WotC copyright as found on official product, in line with the Artwork copyright rules.
    • Tokens utilizing elements of WotC's IP must display the text NOT FOR SALE, preferably below the copyright line.
    • Posts will be moderated for content in line with the Artwork forum spam rules.
    • Users of this thread are expected to report violations of these rules. Contributing to the thread while failing to report ongoing transgressions that put this site at risk may result in moderation of the active users.




    Please take note of the MTGS Plagiarism Policy:

    No Artwork Theft or Plagiarism
    if you're going to post artwork that is not your own (this includes other's artwork that you have copied or modified) make sure you are within the guidelines of Fair Use or make it clear that you have permission from the artist. If you post a piece that is based on someone else's work, or contains work created by anyone other than you, you must properly credit the artist. Properly crediting the artist means posting either:
    • the artist's full name, e.g. "Linda Bergkvist"
    • the artist's screen name and the website where you got the art from, e.g., "squidinc at CGSociety.com"
    • a link to the website where you got the art and indicate as such, e.g., "Art: http://www.alexiuss.deviantart.com/gallery/"
    • In cases where the original artist is unknown because the source material is a cartoon (or similar medium), providing the show, character, and a link to the source image used is adequate.
    You may give this credit in your post text or in the copyright line of the piece. The rule of thumb here is that if the artist can be found in an internet search with reasonable ease based on the information you provided, you're fine.


    If you're just googling, post a link. If it's from an intellectual property, name it.

    Examples:
    • "Original art of Twin Snakes by Yoji Shinkawa, Konami Illustrator. " – this is excellent.
    • "Source is here." – this is fine.
    • "from Pixar's film UP. google image references of Paradise Falls and UP" – this is close, but a link is desireable.
    • "random image of hulk searched on google image" – this is not acceptable.











    Here's a link to nJustice's funny Guildpact Tokens.

    Here are some of the official tokens:

    Time Spiral : Planar Chaos : Future Sight
