Painting the back really makes these look legit. I've been looking at tutorials and they all look a bit faded without this step. Thanks so much for this!!

I would love to know what type of printer and clear paper do you use? you do excellent work 🙌🏼

Great work and video! I am collecting Duel Masters, but I think I could apply this method on creating my own kind of cards.

I've always wondered what I should use my overhead papers for, now I know ;)

The masking tape is brilliant - I always mess up doing straight lines by hand 😅

Crazy work bravo ! I'm trying to do my own cards but the transpanrent sheets you recommand doesnt seem to exist anymore, do you have other recommandations ? Also, where did you get the high quality scans for the pokemons images ? Thanks man :)

Wow they look great! I’ve been working on a lot of customs lately too but I can’t master holos bc of the white layer/white toner roadblock. I dig your method tho may try it!

Hey, deine Videos sind MEGA!
Vielen Dank! - Hab auch richtig lust auf "Custom Cards", zwar nicht Pokemon, sondern eigene Reihen, aber ich konnte durch deine Videos wirklich viel Input mitnehmen! 1000 Dank!

Hey Chris!
Thanks for this amazing video! Love it.
As I try to do my own I looked up all the materials you linked in the description. Sadly the transparent paper/foil is broken or no longer available. Can you tell me in a bit more detail what I have to take care of? Because I only find self adhesive foils and too thick OHP paper 🤷
Would very much appreciate your input

Very nice work! Thanks for sharing your method.

Hi there! Thank you for tutorial.
Where do you get your blanks for photoshop? I've looked through several websites that have base set blanks but they are all very low quality. Thx

Hey the link to the transparent paper you're using is dead. Can you update/give more details? Also - does the gloss really set it apart from the original, comparing them in person? Have you tried faltter/matte finishings?

Excelent video, very creative, thanks for sharing!

[poochiedingo]

This is so informative and creative. I love seeing the wonderful proxies and oricas people create. Have you got an instagram account we can follow?

What are the materials used in this video, including your high quality printer. And by materials I mean how did you print the transparent cards in the beginning, the sprayer you used in the end, the white liquid you used.

Vielen herzlichen Dank für das tolle Tutorial. Dürfte man noch erfahren, welchen Drucker du verwendet hast?

Anyone know the best tape to use? No matter which one I use it always seeps through a little lol

[spizen_]

Your work is amazing, I'm looking forward to your photoshop tutorial! Could you make a holographic Skyridge card?

[jackramsbottom]
