Competition: Epic 3 Card Design Challenge

Epic 3 Card Design Challenge

Welcome to the most awesome card design competition ever!

Here's what it's all about: The card ideas for this contest will be based on three predetermined images. All cards must use those three images. Of course, you're free to think of your own interpretation of them - that's what it's all about!

Now, without further ado: here are the 3 images we will be using:


These 3 images were taken from here: http://www.sxc.hu/ , and can be used in Elements if the developers so choose.

RULES
- You have to design 3 different cards using these 3 images
- Your cards can be of any type and from any element
- Your idea must be a new one. You cannot simply copy-paste an old idea of yours.
- Design both unupped and upped versions (total of 6 images)
- You are allowed to edit the original images in any way you want as long as the original image is still recognizable. You can change hues (for example turn green into red), add some detail, flip the image, etc.
- Everyone must use one of the two templates we are using on the forum:
      - http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,2632.0.html
      - http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,891.0.html
- Post all 6 card images here (upgraded as well) with links to their thread in the Card Ideas forum. This means that every contestant has to start 3 threads, one for each card. All card discussion will take place there.
- Obviously, you can't copy/use/anything anyone else's idea without permission.
- Artwork does not need to be credited.
- You may not use a card that has been submitted for any other competition.
- Please post all cards as full images, not as thumbnails linking to the hosting site(i.e. use the img tags/insert image button)
- You are free to change the submissions as many times as you want until the submission period is over.
- please do not use this thread for talking about individual card ideas. Use the dedicated card thread for that. You can however talk about the competition in general.

This epic competition will run for 14 days.

You need all 3. That's the "epic" part of this competition.

Chakra? I see Japanese manga has a much larger impact on our imaginations than I thought.

[icybraker]

Chakra is a Sanskrit word for "wheel", and meditative philosophy dictates that you have 7 rotating wheels within you that help harmonize and energize your body. I know this because I do chakra meditation. Naruto just ripped that term off.

Editing soon with my cards.

There are only 6 light orbs or wheels whatever they are in that picture.

There are seven. The first Chakra is the Crown, it's drowned in white light in this picture, but it is indeed there.

Eh. Sort of. It's "missing" the Crown Chakra, all the way at the highest point of the human body. The really bright white light at the top of the man's head may be part of it, or something.

Let's stop this discussion before Scaredgirl yells at us to stop talking about stuff not related to the competition.

edit: Kami ninja'd me. What a quick little beast.

The topmost chakra point on the crown is supposed to be violet, not white. The seven colors were supposed to be the seven colors in the rainbow.

Also, I can edit the images any way I want? I can make the vortex image about 10 times cooler than it is now, so it won't be unfair if I do that?

Hue and saturation changes only.
