Still working through my 1985 series, making custom cards for them. Over spring break I made cards for SE, Bazooka, his buddy Alpine, and Footloose. Footloose is still waiting on a file card in the mail, so I dont have his card printed out yet. Here are the pics.

That is cool! How do you make cards for them though? Do you have a template or something?

Thanks guys. Just regular photo paper is what I print them on. I prefer satin....or semi gloss. Looks the best in my opinion....but costs more.
I have a bank of reference card art that I use....but unfortunately a lot of the card references I have have triple win, sgt. slaughter, fridge, etc logos on the cards....so I actually have to make those disappear by replicating the art over them. Also, often the area behind the bubble is smaller than the the original so I have to recreate the missing artwork....I had to do that with Alpines arm for example. I also like to take out the "swivel arm" logo at the bottom...so I can see more of the artwork. I replace that artwork too...for example Bazooka and SEs foot...or the cliffs at the bottom of Alpines card. |

Very nice. Would you be willing to either sell some finished cardbacks or send via e-mail the .psd files of some of the finished cardbacks front and back?
Also, if you don't mind me asking, where did you find those blisters/bubbles? Thanks in advance for any info! Later, Dave |
