openEtG

I'm apologize for that whats happened.
Can you delete my arts thats aren't truly made by editing free graphics?
For me, it's the best idea for this situation.

I was so stupid...
I won't make arts for oEtG anymore.

WHAT? You are doing great, just use free graphics as sources! 

You really do have a lot of talent. It'd be a shame to stop now.
You hit a very common pitfall, you're definitely not the first to realize they used an art image that turned out to not be free. It happens in the CI&A alot, which is part of why we have the smithy and all the threads about it.
Regardless of where you got the orignals from though, the editing is all you. If you just make sure to keep an eye out for the licensing you'll be fine...
If you stick with images from wikipedia and sxc.hu then you won't have to worry about the graphics being free. I tend to use those 2 exclusively myself because I got tired of having to hunt all over the net to find license info for images and most if not all of the art on those two sites will have some variant of a free to use license.

Don't let it get you down too much. You should definitely keep going. Even if it isn't for oEtG.
You do really great stuff.

Eh. If by 'keep going' you mean 'going back to basics and learning proper art skills'. Don't get me wrong, it's great when people are interested in art, but if you start out by taking shortcuts you're going to make it really, really hard for yourself to get any good.

If he wanted to, could Zanz base a new version of EtG off of OpenEtG? How hard would it be?

Not hard at all, all the needed things are sound and little animations.

Some new updates:

New Cards:
Junk Wall: Uncommon Gravity, pretty much BW but instead of 2 per death it's 3 per permanent being destroyed (OP with SoFo? Maybe)
Scattering Wind: Rare Air 2/1, shuffle hand of target player into their deck & redraw
oetg.boards.net/thread/95/frost-knife-dagger-ideas-section as a Light card
Firebrand: Fire weapon, rare, costs 5, deals 8/12 damage, lasts 3/2 turns

Shiny cards added. Unupped shiny cards are gotten same way as upgrades are, upped shinies are gotten by combining 6 unupped shinies or 6 upped copies. They do nothing except have a different colored-art (Exactly like shiny pokemon). Note that cards without art does not (currently) look any different than non-shinies.

serprex was talking of creating a fork that basically strips the game of everything but PvP and reverts the rules to vanilla EtG (mostly as a backup for the servers).

just a quick note for the art, the artist who i used the art for spider cow and a few other cards gave their consent to using their art in elements, i suspect it would be fine to use them in oE as well. i got ahold of him via his deviant art page, but you can also try to get in touch with him via his website.

Sweet! Love that spider cow art!

So what's the deal with the random "art" of Eternity, Sundial, Beguile and Golden Hourglass?

Serprex is a god among men.

Time got a much more serious look after it was revealed that Eternities are toy shovels and time barriers are made out of pancakes. I still have to check Beguile.

Lol. Indeed he is... still don't know how he finds time to make constant updates and still actually play and enjoy the game.

...As for the art... ya.......... okay, comical is good and all, but its in serious need of a makeover.

So, in liu of a better replacement, what do you think of using this:

for Eternity for the moment? (there is transparency so it would get overlayed on the time card back)

I know its a bit plain and needs more work, but its better then the cartoon shovel and bucket right?
