Looks like I had the same idea as you did (D&D monsters as MTG cards). I have a couple more that I was going to do then I'll leave the rest to you. I was going to do beholder, mind-flayer and purple worm too. I like what you came up with.
Here is the only I finished [link] (was drawing my own art work but I am not liking any of the carrion crawlers I've done so far)

Just wait a moment, be patient. And if that doesn't work hit your computer with a baseball bat. And if THAT doesn't work, the site is probably overcrowded with people, so it's having a harder time processing things. I'd suggest leaving it for a while, or restart your computer after you save the file

So. Even though I edited all of my pictures before i posted them, they still ended up sideways. Fail.

I wish I had a scanner or at least a working digital camera to upload my newest work. I had a bunch of older stuff on this site. I believe it was silence1017 if anyone is interested. I hope to get at least an acknoweledgement here and there. I'm a huge fan of creativity.

And yet you make custom cards using an online generator and using none of your original work. If you are indeed such a fan of creativity, why not show off yours?

Because I don't have time. I havent even posted anything in months. Go troll somewhere else.

If you don't have time to be creative (whatever in God's name that's supposed to mean), why lie to yourself about having any by throwing together filler?

Go troll somewhere else.
Go back to your drawing board and do your own work for a change.

Mkay. You won't take a hint. If all of my custom cards have custom rules text, what the hell does it matter that I used a different picture by a different artist? I didn't claim it was my art, and if my rules text is "Hapless and copied and pasted" then sadly, I'd like for you to blow me away with a card you sat for three hours making. Word by word etching the corners of your troll brain to perfect. Fuck you. I've been playing Mtg since Prophecy. I don't have to take your idiotic banter.

No one's accusing you of plagiarism. If you're being accused of anything, it's a lazy work ethic, which is saying quite a bit since this page isn't your job and nothing besides your own drive and motivation compel you to update it.

"I'd like for you to blow me away with a card you sat for three hours making."
It took you three hours to make a single card using a cardmaker program? Those original drawings you made early on must have taken you months, then. Well, at least there you were doing your own work instead of wasting three hours cobbling together that set of sentences.

You take my copied and pasted phrase out of context. The card was quick, obvuisly stated by you. And being lazy? Right. Not being online for months at a time makes for a stirring internet life. Are you finished? Because I'm too busy being lazy and obviously not working or having a social life.

PorcelainMasquerade In reply to N1C0LB0L4S [2011-10-19 23:56:16 +0000 UTC]

What context? You said it took you three hours. How else did you mean that to be taken?

I meant the "throw together" was just that. My comment about showing me a revery of cards that were truely time wasted, show me. Show me something you've spent hours on just to perfect.

PorcelainMasquerade In reply to N1C0LB0L4S [2011-10-25 22:10:05 +0000 UTC]

In your case, what's to perfect? These can be made with online generators, many themed directly after existing card games.
If you're saying you didn't use something like that and instead painstakingly made them in a paint program (at least, the template, frame, text, and anything else besides the existing graphics, which are just downloaded from other sites), then you're wasting your time. You've approximated the work of a program coded in HTML and Javascript that can be learned by anyone.
Why would you bring up a timeframe if you're not attempting to draw a comparison? Why compare yourself to other artists when you've demonstrated little more than the skillset of a Java applet? The point is that whatever effort you're putting into these cards is not showing through in the final product. Hell, you can't even do your own artwork for them. The burden of proof is on you, it has been from the start.

Okay. -Heavy sigh.- I won't fight you any longer. You're dumb. Obviously. Every point I make is taken and misconstrewed, and each time I correct said point, it also gets pwnd. Let it the fuck go. I didn't create the image for the card inspired by DnD, I didnt draw a picture that already existed. I didn't take credit. And if the card is so terribly OP, then how is it that the entire Rise of the Eldrazi set come to pass. Shut up, leave me alone. I don't care that you think my anti-original original card is hiddeous.

It's because you don't have a leg to stand on. You're incapable of articulating basic counterpoints, yet you declare me dumb for it. You talk of works taking three hours as if to make some point about dedication, but you don't follow through and present your side of the situation. You seek to undermine dissent but you don't have any fortification of your own. If you don't want to be misconstrued, then you need to get to the point, instead of spinning your wheels setting up comparisons that you can't follow through with.

I didn't create the image for the card inspired by DnD.
No one is accusing you of plagiarism. That never factored into this, but if you really want clarity on that, FAQ #306: Does "Crediting" let me use whatever I want? . There, that's probably what you wanted to hear all along. I wasn't calling you a plagiarist, though, I was calling you lazy.

I can't comment on the card being overpowered (which is rather left field of you, since I've never brought it up) as I don't play, the issue is with you padding your gallery with works that you throw together using Java tools instead of producing original art as you once did. You talk of scanner and camera issues, and your solution to that problem was to ramshackle sub-mediocre junk and flood your page with it. You took the easy way out.

So tuck yourself into bed tonight, and think to yourself, "aah. I told someone they were lazy. Go me."
Get a life. Stop bothering me.

More like, "I told someone they had potential, but wasted it with a push-button card generators, and they defended their inaction with childish vehemency." Of course, I don't expect you to have that kind of perspective given what you end up writing on all those cards.
