Deckmaker Pay June // Deck Claim & Deck Drop off [July Release]

[suguro]

Here you can claim your deckmaking pay for June's release!

DECKMAKER PAY BREAKDOWN:

-4 first decks: 2 cards for donation + 1 card for making the deck
-all extra decks: 1 card for each deck (even if the deck maker found images for it)
-every 10 decks: 1 love letter
-special decks: 3 cards for each deck (only Joyce and I make special decks for now)

Please list all the decks you made by deckname and it would be really helpful if you give me the total number of cards you should get! I will confirm it and give you the pay! I'm not sure yet if I will set a pay page on the site, so for now I'll pay in the comments, please bear with it

July Release claims and drop-off guidelines

In this post deckmakers will make their deck claims for the month! For now you can only donate single decks since special decks will be made by Joyce and me.
First off, I have to let all deckmakers know that by the beginning of the month, you have the same amount of deck donations as players: you can claim 4 decks. If we are short on donations or all the decks from donations have been claimed, deckmakers will be allowed to claim/donate more decks, but the pay for those decks will be different.

In this post deckmakers will only claim decks they are planning on donating themselves, not the decks they decide to make for deck donations. Deck donations decks will be claimed by replying to the poster comment.

Additionally, you'll be leaving your finished decks on this same post instead of emailing them to me or PM me. Neither for deck claiming and drop off you will have to fill a form: for claiming I will just need the character name, series name and tentative deckname so I can add it to the upcoming list.
For drop off, I'll just need you to label the link with the deckname.

For deck drop off, you don't have to wait until you have finished all your decks, you can post them as you go.
Please put all the cards (including 00 card) in a folder, include a .txt file with deck information (It doesn't have to have code or any type, just character name, series name, deckname and explanation for deckname, please also include the name of the person who donated the deck, thanks!) and zip your files before sending them to me.
If by any chance you're turning in a batch of decks, it would be a lot easier for me if you zip all the deck folders together and then just list next to your link or in the link the decks included in the zip! Additionally, if you're turning in a batch, it's also easier for me to add them to the system if you have all the decks info in the same .txt file!

Thank you for your hard work! By the way, I wanted to point out that since we have new deckmakers, you can take it easy for the rest of the month and not claim any other decks unless you reaaaaally reaaally want to make them, though I'd prefer if you leave some work for the newbies =P

[cureelliott]

I thought that might have been what you wanted to do so lol! :D they can have at what's left, I've got more than enough done to keep me happy (:

(aimstalker, explosives, meltdowner, skill-out). I can change anything you'd like me to with the exception for the skill-out deck since i forgot to save the .psd file. I am bad when it comes to working with dark caps so explosives deck looks a bit crappy, i don't mind changing whatever needed in it. I just think I looked for it for too long and am not sure what should be changed.

Re: Deck drop off

Thank you for working on them so quickly! I actually think explosives is the one that looks best lmao (of course, I usually prefer not making the images too bright). The other ones look a little bit bright, but it's your own style and I respect that, so keep up the good work! The only suggestions I have for the future is try to use darker colors for the borders are the decknames are harder to read when the border color is too light. No need to change the colors in these because they're readable and the color look well with the images, so no need to fix anything!

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention it before, but your test deck will also be released in the upcoming deck release! Look forward to it (:

No problem! I really like getting important things out of the way first and I don't like making people wait. Though lol, at least it makes me less worried about how it looks XD Thanks a lot for the honesty though, I am actually trying to work on both so I will keep it in my while making decks next time, especially the border problem. I know I prefer them bright but then I can't seem to match the color for the text border to make it look more visible (the test deck was... the perfect example of that).

Awesome, and thank you again!

It's ok, we all struggle near the deck release! Joyce and I haven't even finished all of our decks so the released will probably be pushed to tomorrow.

I looked at your decks and the image editing is great! but the borders are a bit off in almost all of the decks, not just the ones you fixed. Sorry if I'm being too strict, but while I want to respect everyone's style of deckmaking, I also want the decks to look more of less uniform.

Ok, things we think you need to work on: most decks color border is too light or bright and the text is hard to see. My suggestion is this: if you can't see the little white dots inside the cards, then the border color is too light. If you still want to use those colors, I can't stop you, but just remember that the text might be too hard to read unless the color border is really dark... which takes me to my second point: if the outer border is TOO dark, it contrast a lot with the inner border and I personally think is distracting;;

powered was the perfect example of this, thank god you fixed it XD The new hyper, powered and bedridden are great, but rolling is too light and very hard to read. Also, please check your 00 cards for these 4 decks, they look a little odd. (the text, particularly)

So my last suggestion would be that you work again on the borders, try that all of your decks have borders similar to hyper (outer border color just a tad bit darker than inner border) and if the text is hard to read, then that means inner border should be a bit darker. Believe me, it takes a bit of time to get the hang of this! You have done a great job so far considering you didn't have any experience, so just keep working on this and you'll find the right technique in no time (:

You still have some time, but please turn them in as soon as possible! There's still a very small chance that the release is posted today in the evening (EST) though if it's impossible for you today, we can wait until tomorrow, just let me know!
