you know somebody could make a tutorial of how to make one of these card sleeves.

the tutorial section is kind of ....empty

**byak** 2011-08-18, 16:51

There's no real tutorial unless you want all of the sleeves to have the exact same design :T

That's... not the point.

Alright, let's try that then. I made the Red circle a tad translucent.

And now I'll put it into the previewer.

Although the logo and parts of the back does show up, the logo does not show up crisp and clear, nor does anything else in the background. The way some people are assuming when they make these backs is that the layer behind the front or second layers WILL show up crisp and clear no matter what.

As an other example, I took Party Poison's very awesome Dark Magician Sleeve and resized it to fit the previewer.

aaaand then into the previewer.

Although this design can particularly work, I highly doubt this is what was envisioned it would look like when inputted into DN.

I suppose that is a problem. Hmm. Do you think if i duplicate the layer 2 and 3, add the originals to layer one, and make the dulpicates transparent it would be better? I will edit it and post it, along with a DMG Card Sleeve Prepared the same way. Hopefully it fixes itself that way.

**byak** 2011-08-18, 17:34

I don't really like the bg on the Dark Magician sleeve, it's too bright. :\

and then the border is eh D:

**P4RTYxP01S0N** 2011-08-18, 18:14

I didnt like the bg either, but i decided to go with it. And the border was just to see the edge of the card. It is too bright imo, but i still like it either way. updated DM tho.

Could you perhaps post a version without the borders on the DMG sleeve? I think it'd look much better without them and right now it just looks unnecessary.

That'd probably go very well for that Shooting Star Dragon card back too, then.

I tried...it's pain in the ass trying to cut the white parts from the non-white parts. However everything else I quite easy...

**Ruf_Pup13** 2011-08-18, 18:36

Does the card back have to have a picture of a yugioh monster?

Because there can also be Alot of cool card backs without the monsters. Just asking.

I could go back and make it that way. I like the border tho. Made it better in my opinion, but who knows. I'll get to it eventually lol. Trying to think of who i want to do next, something better that i would be inspired to do a better job. Trying to GFX after 8 months is hard. x.x"

Maybe I'll go do a C4D back this time. They are alot easier and normally come out great.

**Miley Syrus +** 2011-08-18, 19:39

Yeah, these monster sleeves are awesome, I'd also like to see some anime themed sleeves. Let's say like bleach, tiger and bunny, naruto. For example bleach,

We'd have this and theme the colors around it,

Just a thought, kind of to give peole a variation towards different animes they like.

What about video games? I think that would be pretty cool. I would be happy to make some.

**TeamHersheyCookies** 2011-08-18, 20:17

I'm currently working on a sleeve.

It would also be great if we could type in our own url to a picture on dueling network.

If you incorporate this to Dueling Network, Dueling Network should do this first to avoid errors:
-Dueling Network checks if the dimensions of the picture are good
-Dueling Network checks if the url provided ends with .png
-Dueling Network checks if the image hoster is an image hoster without a maximum amount of bandwidth per day.

Flash applications embedded in the web browser cannot load images from any domain, as it presents a security issue. Images can only be loaded dynamically from the same domain. The only feasible workaround to this issue would be to use the DN server as a proxy, or find an image host configured with an appropriate cross-domain policy.

This is the reason why the preview tool I provided is a download. Applications running on your computer have a lot more flexibility than web applications.

What if the picture is uploaded directly to the Dueling Network servers? One image upload per I.P? I'm supposing that wouldn't be too smart though, since the server would be overwhelmed in no time.

The idea of Dueling Network acting as a proxy server seems to be the most doable.

**P4RTYxP01S0N** 2011-08-18, 22:13

I gotta question about the card back .exe. I downloaded it but when i tried to use it to test and see if my card backs work decent when changing the colors, it dosent change the color. It works with the DN one, but not mine. Any idea why?

**The DetonatorCOPY** 2011-08-18, 22:24

If your image is not layered correctly it will not change colour. Make sure you have uploaded the correctly layered image into the program.

Oh... Joy. ._. Thats err... loads of fun then. I'll just make em and keep em 3 layers, and hopefully someone can fix it then.

That or leave em fixed colors. Im sure ppl wouldnt mind fixed color card backs. Gives more to choose from atleast.

It's not a font, the logo can be found at http://forum.duelingnetwork.com/t1759p25-card-back-idea#20444 .

You may have to mess with it some so it doesn't look too pixelated when you resize it to the sleeve's size.

just pointing this out, reprogramming the sleeves to change hue instead of recoloring would essentially help everyone in the contest, as well as look good overall.

Guys

here are my 2 entries Very Happy

(The watermark text at the bottom of the pics will NOT be there
i just added them in the preview)

Entry One:
(i went for a nice cool sixSamurai look with the 3D DuelingNetwork letters [made by me] and the dueling network text, i think this makes the image stand out more than if it was just the six sam's)

If they could change the program to do just hue, that would be 10x easier for all of us i think, but then it would probably mess up their already made one unless there was some way to fix it.

The Samurai emblem is really good, but it needs a border. :O

**Miley Syrus +** 2011-08-19, 13:31

Ideas to work on:

Main Characters of yugioh: or other shows
Logo of shows
Yugioh Monsters/spells/traps
Dueling Network emblem with cool effects
Symbols on yugioh cards like the samurai one you used, there's other cool ones like the spellcaster one as well
And themes, for certain decks people play: Space, fire, ice, water, dark, light, ect or even attributes get something that resembles the attribute/type like for fairys get a HQ fairy image or fiends, do the same. Just some ideas, I like most of them.
