Making a Physically Realistic Card

[AzureTwilight]

First off, hi, I'm new here. Nice to meet you all. :3

 

To the point though, I've been looking through the site, and it has a lot of amazing things; though I've been wondering about the part that comes after digitally making the card. Like, I know you have to go to some place to get it printed out, but what do you do from there? How does one get from that print-out point, to having the actual card where it looks and feels like a real Duel Monsters card?

 

Like, I've seen on some sites a number of years back some *REAL* looking custom cards. I don't know what kind of process is involved to make them look like they were actually made by konami. Meaning the texture and feel of the card, not specifically the type/effect of the card.

 

I've been looking around the site, but I haven't been able to find the specific information I've been looking for. :x

 

If anyone could help me, I'd greatly appreciate it! ^-^

 

Oh, and I'll look myself since I haven't yet, but if anyone knows where to find a card maker template thing that works with japanese text. I'd really appreciate it as well. ^-^'

 

Thanks! :3

 

EDIT: I just now found an example of what I was talking about. There's a japanese guy selling them on ebay. Here.

This particular one is ecchi, but it's one of his less ecchi ones. But this is what I mean, I wanna know how to make cards of the quality. Not necessarily with that kind of image though. XD

You don't.

 

>_>

 

Print it off and paste it on a card, that's about all you can do.

[AzureTwilight]

And it will look like that? So I just paste it on some common or something and it'll look like that?

well,it should but make sure you super glue or glue it tight and use photo paper for a more realistic look and i think it's actually thinner.if you don't glue it tight,it might fall off in the middle of a dual.

That person managed to do it most likely because he probably owns his own printing press. It's not hard, for people in poor countries, especially like China. I could probably go back and get some guys to do it for me, but why would I do that?

 

Maybe for my own card set, but that's years in the future. It costs probably maximum $1 USD/CAD to make a holoed card printed in China, and only like, 5 cents for a normal card.
