I've been working quite meticulously at a set of 50+ game cards over the past few days. the idea was that I'd print them out, paste them to cardboard paper and then play them with my brother. Unfortunately, my printer wonked out, so it's all greenish-blue with no red (bad for the Fire Elementals) Here's a small sample of the four elements.
BTW, I tried as much as possible to use my own pictures, but I just don't have good photography skills. So...I cheated, stole a few from the internet and digital dictionaries. Most of the work was done in MSPaint, but a little of the cropping and color changes was done using ACDSee.

(They're supposed to be bitmaps, which would have been a better color quality, but YWS doesn't accept bitmaps.)

these are great! I bet your brother will or does love them! I think that these are very different from any other set of playing cards. Taking some pictures from the internet didn't take out the creativity that you had in mind for these cards. I really love them!

So, first let me state that I am no expert about this.
Now let me say that I thought that they were really, really great.
The two things that bothered me were [One] the Behemoth one - the picture seemed too real while the others were animated to an extent - and [Two] the background for the Wraith Warrior seemed too drawn - the others looked more digital. This really are awesome. I think you did great. Good job :)
I really hope this helped.

Yeah, Ofir, it doesn't look quite like that in bitmap form. I probably should have saved them as JPEGs, but I was a little rushed around the posting time. And yes, Nike, me and my bro love playing with them! We've come up with our own rules and attack techniques already.
