looks good. the only problem is the explosions from the vintage art is different than the explosions used now. I'd recommend using the new explosions if you really want your cards to display well with actual cards -- the differences are just too glaring.

I've got a PSD started, that I used for Sarge. I laid out all the type in Illustrator though, with the PSD artwork linked in it.
It's got the front all layered, and I redrew the explosion where parts were missing. The back art, I have a PSD file set up with the correct font and everything (it's just American Typewriter and Arial, if I'm not mistaken, can't remember for sure)... I'll see if I can upload a template later that's small enough to download. I did it at least 200dpi though, so it looked crisp when printed on a quality laser. So it may not be able to be downloaded too easily and keep the quality. |

Okay, this will take some Photoshop/Illustrator basic skills, but here's some elements to help folks out...
Front logo, layered: http://x4.ofgraphicdesign.com/hissta...oe_boxlogo.pdf Front explosion: http://x4.ofgraphicdesign.com/hissta..._explosion.jpg You can add whatever colored rectangle behind the figure, but it bugged me that the explosion was never finished... The attached artwork isn't technically finished, but moreso than existing artwork. That way, you can add the Joe logo PDF on top of the explosion, with the character art in between, kind of like how the Duke jetpack artwork is layered. If you want to. Also, feel free to use my "HissTank Custom" logo, or drop in whatever one you want. This is just the black background that you can mask out with the white border/etc. Hope it somewhat helps. |

Yeah, they've redone a large majority of the artwork as it is... But the explosion is noticeably different... And more or less consistent for all the figures now, versus the old explosion that had thinner lines/thicker explosion flares, etc.

I've just been thinking about finding similar bubbles to ones I need, and trying to clean the backside. Haven't accomplished it yet, but have thought it would work. If there are some aftermarket ones, that's interesting. |

Awesome stuff guys!
Does anyone know a good process for making custom card art? Im thinking a series of vectors and filters in PS in order to make them look drawn.
