Hi everybody, I was wondering if I could make a Legend of Dragoon deck? If so I would like to have the honor of creating this deck myself, with the help of any volunteers. I want this deck to be Legend of Dragoon only and at the moment I'm having a hard time finding a good source of monster images to make the deck 115+ cards. I have the game on my computer, and I'm going to try to find a way to get screenshots (shouldn't be TOO hard) for making cards. If you guys like this idea or know a good website for images to make cards from please let me know!

To make use of more images I would like each of the main characters (the dragoons) to have 2 cards, one in their human forms with a card level of 7-9, and another in there dragoon forms with a card level of 10. Although I'm a photoshop newb, I was able to create a few samples, thanks to the wonderful guide on this forum, courtesy of Jinx. These cards are just samples and so the values on these cards are not the actual values I plan on using.

Looking good, for starters.

Look for J102y, in-game to pitch the idea.

I will help you, in any way I can, for example I can help you print screen emulator images, if need be (I.E. tell you how, I don't have the time to play through it, as much as I would like to)

I will also look on my laptop to see if the PSD's for the cards I did are still there, if they are, I'd be more than happy to send them to you.

Thanks Kratos, I appreciate your help. I have an emulator and an ISO for this game as well and I figured out how to print screen shots out. Luckily, I have played through this game recently so I have a save state on 3 out of the 4 disks. I will definitely be using screen shots to make card images!

You could also use sites like GameFAQS and such to download save-states, if need be.

And it isn't a problem, Legend of Dragoon is epic <3

-=EDIT=-

Doesn't look like they are on here, but they might be one of my graphics CD's or one of my Flash Drives =S lol

-=Double Edit=-

Found it =D Was in an old archive on my laptop xD

There should be PSD's and PNG and/or JPEG image files in there. Not 100% sure, it has been awhile.

I appreciate the help Kratos, I will definitely be using your EC and SE cards in the finished deck.

Right now I'm working on cards of the dragons that the playable characters can summon. These cards are not nearly as easy to make as the character cards. I created these cards myself using in-game screenshots and personally, I don't even like them. It is hard to get good images of these dragons as the only pictures of them are during their summon animation. If anyone knows a good website where I can find beautifully rendered images of these dragons, or if anyone wants to take a shot at making these cards themselves, by all means be my guest. These dragon cards may be lack luster but I guarantee you all the level 9 and 10 cards (and hopefully everything else) are going to be absolutely beautiful.

What do you guys think?

EDIT:

As I gain more experience with photoshop, the quality of my cards have improved, and so I will redo all the cards you see below, except for the Red-Eyed Dragon I think. He kind of grew on me.

They look pretty good, considering what your working with

[ZeroInfinity]

So I finally finished all the Level 9's. Yea I know you finished them too Kratos, but I couldn't resist the temptation of creating the character cards according to my own vision, (which is one of my main reasons for wanting to make this deck). I finished most of the level 8's and a quite few level 1-5 cards as well with more on the way. I even bothered to fix some of those not-so-decent dragon cards I posted above.

As I've said earlier, most of the level 9 cards will be the main characters in human form while the level 10's are them in their dragoon forms. This will be the case for all of the main characters EXCEPT for Lenus (and Lloyd of course since he isn't a dragoon). Since all of the level 9 and 10 cards are beautifully rendered pictures of the main characters, I didn't want to have a crappy looking, Dragoon Lenus with decade old, ps1 graphics, making all the other level 10's look bad. Since it wouldn't make sense to include a Dragoon Lenus at a lower level than regular Lenus, I'm just going to make (normal) Lenus a level 10.(IMHO, she was more difficult in her normal form than in her dragoon form in the game anyway).

I'm supposed to type out a deck plan right? I will publish one soon.
