Holofoil


Zologe

Recommended Posts

So, when making Yugioh cards of differemt rarities, I've started giving the Secret rares Holofoil. The foil I use is not the actual foil used for secret rares, and I would love to use the actual secret rare holofoil, but as things stand right now, I'm using a modified variant of 1 of aschefield101's (on Deviant Art) Holofoil for these. Here's the result:

It's looking nice, but only keeping the background as the foil pattern might look a bit strange. Try using different blending options (Layer Style -> Blending Options -> Pattern lalal) so you might get something nice out of it (it doesn't really have a pattern always, you can keep playing with until you find something you like)

 

And if I'm not mistaken, I think someone here posted some foil patterns including the secret rare one...

There are some old foils buried in the archived threads of this section; probably Tutorials also.
 
Anyway, holo pictures should have the original picture and background noticeable underneath the holo sheet.
(Yours would be considered as an Advanced holo, given you went around the main subject)
 
Like Hideyasu mentioned, try using the layer styles to adjust it, so you get the effect but the background is shown. (If you've kept the .psd/.xcf file of the card, you can just readjust the settings)
 
(Personally, I use the Screen/Dodge tool on GIMP for these kinds of things; works great. I think the same would work on Photoshop, or whatever the equivalent is on there; haven't done holo work on PS for a while)
 
Here's an example of what it should look like, more/less. (It's a basic holo, but you get the point)

The sheet is there, but you can see the background behind it.

(And no, I'm not posting this in CC [at least not in this state], but that's off-topic)
 
 
Otherwise, it looks fine, but just adjust the settings so the holo sheet doesn't become the new BG for the card.
