Looking for suggestions on custom full art Pokemon style cards

Seeing if anyone has used Etsy or other sites for a custom card, I want to get a friend a custom card of his cats as a gift. Would be cool if it was possible to add the SIR textures and such but just a stylized holo card work as well. If anyone’s done something similar what have you use? Thanks!

Hi, I tried to make some cards

I was trying out the printing into a transparent sticker sheet & coloring the back with the oil based white marker thing, but I'm having a hard time lining the card up with a wiped out bulk stock holo.

Either I start good and it ends up crooked or the paper gets stuck in a wrong spot and I get bubbles, how do you guys put the together?

I loved Pombon when it was announced earlier this year! So I decided to make fan art of it and turn it into a Pokémon TCG card!

Need help white layer masking for Holo cards

Hi all, I’m looking for some assistance/advice on creating white layer underneath the colored layer for holo cards. Is there a more automated or ai assisted way to create this white mask for more complicated full art cards that have lots of color instead of manually filling each area by hand? It just takes too long doing it manually by hand and also including the white layer for texts, energy symbols and etc.
Seeking to save time and making more high quality cards to be printed via the Eufymake UV printer.

Thanks all and I appreciate everyone here in this community. I’ve learned lots so far.

Textured Poke Pad

Eufymake E1. 3 seperate jobs printed back to back.

  1. white base. I didn't do a dithered pattern this time, but will be adding one at least to the "play" button next time.
  2. CMYK
  3. Gloss layer (black lines in second image)

For those curious about how fine the texture can get on the E1, look at the name line of the card. the outer parts of the "S" lines were able to be printed, but the middle was too fine so no gloss texture was applied there.

Texturing made with InkScape and Krita. Rushed job just to get the point across and to learn the workflow. I'll spend more time on this in the future but my curiousity made me rush.

I am still very impressed with this machine. Wow!

Charizard and Arcanine!

These two pokemon have never been in an artwork together, so I changed that!

Print process is foil sticker paper, perfectly aligned with 40% opaque laser printed vinyl with white toner. Then printed by my inkjet. Total of two sticker layers on top of a base energy card. Then I used a paintbrush to paint resin so it has a brushstroke texture, which shows itself in the way the holo shines!

NOTE: Base art is original, Charizard was ai assisted to be put in the sky. Took a dozen tries for it to look even remotely passable.

Bubble Eeveelutions

I posted the bubble Eevee card before and now the whole set is complete. I'm super happy with how these turned out. My favorite Eeveelution is Sylveon, but I really like how the Flareon turned out with her super fluffy tail.

These look really cute together in a binder as well.

Custom cards as wedding favors

Hello! I’m getting married in September, and I thought custom cards would be a fun party favor for the guests. Didn’t realize how much went into the card making process going through the subreddit. I also see they’re pretty pricey on Etsy. I was hoping to get some opinions on the best/most affordable way to go about making ~150 custom cards, if remotely possible. Appreciate your time and help!

Custom Pokemon Energy Paintings

I use Princeton small brush set from Amazon and mod podge sealant to protect the art layer. I use artxx POSCA markers off Amazon
