About Me

I'm 30ish years old, living in Baltimore MD.  In my time when I am not making cards, I am playing games or watching the Ravens or Orioles play.  Turns out the imageshack links all died, my apologies for the broken images in the links.

recently made:

It's probably a shame that this thread isn't getting the attention it deserves, because I always made a point to visit the Card Ideas and Art section (one that I consider strictly inferior to the GS&F one) whenever I saw moomoose's name as the last poster.

I think Skinner's Pidgeon was what started it all - I love the blend of charm and randomness, while leaving it balanced and useable. And the 1% chances for either Adrenaline, Vampire, and one more that I've forgotten.

Mana worm also has to be one of my favourites up there, I like everything about it. Maybe not the artwork, but everything else.
Also very impressed with Pink Elephant.

And of course, the classics, Desync (extremely metaphoric really, especially considering the BL games I was playing) and Abomination, which sadly never made it into the game, or even the Armory, and like Van Goghs work wasn't appreciated where it was supposed to. Meaning, people seemed to like it more when they were in the humor section. Blah.

thanks drunk, didnt actually scroll down until now lol

Warthog art is epic!

in the process of updating the layout of the portfolio to be more logical and easier to access for zanz... i mean easier to access for everyone

[Ningo67]

I really like your cards a lot and i think some of thease  should really be in the game but can u please tell me how  did u create these cards because im also very interested in creating my own cards.Im 13 years old and i think im old enough to understand and to create my own cards.

[neuroleptics]

I see psion
wow, that's a lot of cards, took me sometime to finish reading all the descriptions and art. I must say you did a wonderful job there.

@ningo: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,43884.0.html + http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,16655.0.html + http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,34188.0.html + my mind

@nuero: danke, it took me roughly 2 years to do all of those, so it likely took you much less time to read them

Why would u want to mutate a cute little guinea pig 

[moomoose]

im not sure how far it extends, but in the USA we use the term "guinea pig" synonymously with "test subject". so if we were going to try a new recipe for a cocktail or fried shrimp, or perhaps something more serious like a new drug, if you gave it to someone who wasn't aware of the ingredients to observe the effect or reaction which it had, the person would be considered a "guinea pig".

5/5 stars
and I think this deserves much more.

The amount of time and effort is huge! and I think you got a lot of really good ideas here, I would love to see some of the cards make it to the game!
I have made some art myself, and I know the work you have put in this cards.

I have to ask what format/size you use when you create the artwork. Because I need to finde the optimal size, make the artwork to smal and it looks like shit, make it to big and my computer takes a eternity to render between each action.
