And the first card.

[JR19759]

I’m nominating Owsla for HOTM. Awesome work, love the background in the suit.

One more here, Son4’s Owsla

@The Atomic Punk said:

Thanks for the nod! I’m going to “borrow” some cardstock from work so I can print the deck.

If you’re still taking suggestions, I nominate Zyp and PapaKrok. Though not active, Zyp has made perhaps one of the biggest contributions to HeroMachine with his shading and highlighting techniques. And PapaKrok is still out there. He had a recent bout but he’s not down for count!

That’d be cool.
Are Zyp and Papakrok on this forum, because if they aren’t it’d be a bit hard to do some of the categories (forum posts especially). If the UGO forums were still open it might not be so much of a problem, but as they aren’t it makes it a bit harder. I would have liked to include people like SeanDavidRoss in the set, some of the old-school machiners, but many people have disappeared since the UGO forums went.
Who would you suggest I take off the list to accommodate them if they are on the forums?

[JR19759]

Here’s an exemplar cards I’ve done

I’m going to be doing the cards for Vampyrist (well, I’ve done the one for Vampyrist), djuby, Harlequin (though I may need someone else to look over those two, see if their scores can’t be brought down a bit from what I’ve given them), headlessgeneral, MisterDinoMan, Blue Blazer, Iscarioto, Alexander of Limbo, Vengance and Weilyn.

I apologise in advance if people are offended by the scoring, I’m not trying to degrade your work, I’m just trying to be fair. Not everyone can score 8 at the lowest.

Also the code for the new card design + card back

@Alexander of Limbo said:

Are we doing our own insignia’s? and is so do we post them here?

You can, I’m not sure everyone will be.

[JR19759]

Well, I’m glad that this idea is getting people excited, I’ve finished looking through old contests (Weekly challenges, Pop Quizzes, Colour My Character and Forum Redesign contests), so I should be ready to go with making the cards.
I think I’ll fill the remaining 6 spaces with Alexander Of Limbo, Herr D, Weilyn, Dionne Jinn, Nobody and Vengance, unless anyone has any better ideas.

Also, if anybody wants to help make them, the text file for the card base is in the second spoiler below, the first includes the scores for Blog Contest Wins, Forum Contest Wins and Forum Posts (I appologise for any mistakes and all post numbers are correct at time of writing). Keep the font for the categories the same, but you can change the font for the creator name. Ideally, we’d need 3 people (including myself) doing these so there’d be 10 each.
When doing the logos, do something that is easily identifiable to that creator (i.e. AMS’ red maple leaf, Atomic Punk’s gas mask etc), and don’t do any shading on them, just leave them normal, so they look like a set.

If you are going to make some cards, please post below which ones you’re going to make and, be aware, you can’t make your own. Be fair with the judging for the first 3 categories, I’d say use yourself as a baseline 5 and go from there.

When I know other people are going to be doing them I’ll set up a thread for them to be posted in.

[JR19759]

@Alexander of Limbo said:

you haven’t added yourself to the list
Or is that a given lol

I will do if you want me to, but someone else will have to do the first three categories scores, because I’m liable to be too harsh on myself. I’m also adding Imp (or The Imp as I believe he is known on this forum) to the list.

[JR19759]

@Kaylin88100 said:

Well, djuby and AMS would both be beatable on Forum Posts, at least. That’s the one I’m likely to score highest at.

Looks good so far – but what are you going to do about the logos?

True there. No idea what I’m going to do about the logos, I can remember seeing a logo that MisterDinoMan had so I was thinking along those lines, but I might not include them on the final cards, unless people are willing to make them.

[JR19759]

@Scatman said:

I’m not too familiar with the whole card thing but ,would it be images and value and if so that persons image?ect Also I know alot of really good machinists who don’t enter contests on a consistant basis.So I don’t know how that would factor in..I really don’t know…but if I can help in anyway let me know.

Here’s the current card base, so hopefully it’ll make things a bit clearer

I’m basically going around the forum and looking at peoples work and giving them a score out of 10 for the first three categories, although I’m still not sure about the third one, for the overall work on their thread. For example, dblade would score highly on the first category, because he always uses items in ways that no-one else ever has or will, where as I would only get a middling score because I mostly use items normally.

I know that a lot of good machinists don’t enter contests regularly, but that is the point. It stops there being any ‘God’ cards, that are unbeatable (although at the moment it looks like djuby and AMS may be heading that way).

If you want to help, can you make some suggestions as to some forum members who you think should be added and start thinking up some scores for the first three categories for people on the above list. PM me anything you come up with.

I’m adding Barbario, Iscarioto and Trekkie to the list, so I only need 8 more.

And thanks for the complement on Psychosis.

@Hammerknight said:

I have card templates that I have made if you need them.

I’ve made my own but they are looking a bit plain. Are these the ones that you’ve been putting up on the blog? PM them to me.
I’m keeping my custom card back though.

[JR19759]

@Suleman said:

Hah. That Trump Cards idea seems interesting. I’d like to see what you have in mind for them.

Currently I’m thinking of doing cards for 30 of the top creators (the correct number for a top trumps pack), not finalised the list yet, but you can probably guess most of the current list. I need a bit of help on the categories though. I’m thinking that they should be things like Originality (so use of items in unusual and original ways), Style (how identifiable their style is, if you can tell its their work without being told beforehand), Design (how well thought out their designs are, not really sure about this one so it may need changing), Contest Wins- Blog & Contest Wins- Forum (the number of times they have won a contest on the main blog and on the forum (separate categories), I’d need to ask around on the first one because I don’t think the earliest contests are still on the blog) and Forum Posts (self-explanatory). The first 3 would be out of 10, the rest are just whatever number is thrown up by my ‘research’.

If anyone else wants to get involved, suggesting creators to do/ category changes, making the cards/ coming up with the scores (if you are going to do this, don’t do one for yourself); it would be most welcome.

The current list of creators I’d be making cards for are
1) Hammerknight
2) Kaldath
3) dblade
4) Vampyrist
5) Kaylinn88100
6) Scatman
7) Myro
8) FRM
9) djuby
10) Harlequin
11) AMS
12) headlessgeneral
13) NHA247
14) MisterDinoMan
15) Livewyre1014
16) Blue Blazer
17) Atomic Punk
18) Moognation
19) DiCicatriz

Obviously not the full list yet, so suggestions are welcome.

Back to Swan-Song stuff.

A Mur

Born to a poor family in one of Emerson’s most deprived areas, this giant of a man turned his sights on those who ruined the lives of his family. Trained in most forms of combat, he is much like Swan-song. Unlike Swan-song though, he does not care who he hurts along the way.

Before I go on with the Swan-Song redesigns, anyone fancy a game?

I might make these at some point, though I may need some help with the category scores.

Mad laser effects.
Someone definitely needs to make a film for that poster
