Pokémon Acanthite Forums

This time decided to try my luck with the new DP format, so here's Xatu:



Of course some might remember my older ADV style fakes:

Good effort! Not bad at all on the placements and such. Try and get your hands on Sanvito Pro (Caption with faux italic) for the flavor text and Frutiger CE Roman for the Dex details under the pic. Otherwise, great to see an old hand back in the game and it's a very accurate first attempt at a style that has no reliable tutorial to date.

I mostly followed shadowbind's tutorial, making adjustments with an actual card as a reference (ie: 89% width for attack text instead of 96%, Futura LT Heavy for damage and weakness/resistance, etc)

Maybe I should write up my own? It has been a while since I did anything.

I keep meaning to write one, but a couple of things have got me stumped :(

If I'm honest, we also need a better set of blanks, with realistic textures.
