None that I know of. I did custom Sarge artwork, and it turned out alright, but it's definitely not perfect. I did mine in vector, and then added a bunch of layers and coloring/painting in Photoshop to mimic the painted look. I assume painting one and then scanning it would be the most realistic, if you wanted to truly get precise. You could also take comic art if you can get a high-res enough scan, and do some "watercolor" painting in Photoshop, or perhaps test using filters. Find some Photoshop brushes online so it's not just the feathered circle default brush (some that look weathered). You'll find that using those brushes on other things can create really awesome effects. |

http://x4.ofgraphicdesign.com/projec...stom_boxed.jpg See what I mean? It helps the "ARAH" line stand out better. One thing you may want to add is the old-school Hasbro "House" logo. Here's a vector version of it: Hasbro logo | Best Brands of the World You'll have to color it blue, but I assume you can match that, from what you've shown so far of your Pshop skills. Thanks for posting this, when I went about this a few months back, I tried to find source files, and had to cobble my own together. (Which are still sorta confusing and not easy to hand off to work with.) It's a lot of work, but worth it in the end. |

I mean, the Joe logo and all the other elements are just as trademarkable. It's their old out-of-use one anyways! Haha. Besides, it's not recreating it, it's their actual logo. |

Those are awesome! Thanks for sharing for those of us less skilled in photoshop.
Would you consider making ones for some of the other original joes not released on single cards yet, like: Breaker Grunt Baroness (1984 style) Leatherneck Mainframe Falcon

Good call. I never noticed that. Weird. I made mine from the General Hawk (wave 9) card, so I guess that makes sense why I copied that. I don't have all of them handy to see which ones do and don't, but I find it odd that they didn't make that consistent!
