Since there was some popular demand for it at the end of contest 17, we're going to have a contest about trading cards.

I can think of two kinds of trading cards: the kind you play games with, and the kind that give you statistics on sports figures or the like. Your job is to fabricate trading cards of these types (or any other kind of trading card you can think of). I hope we'll see plenty of cards for Stripcreator regulars/characters/props/whatever, but I won't limit you -- make cards for anyone or anything else if you have a good idea. Remember that these cards usually have two sides, although you don't have to show both if you don't want.

Try magiclore.com or magicthegathering.com to steal some pictures of Magic: The Gathering cards. I'll try to research some more sites for source images and post them later tonight. If you know of any, please share. Of course, as long as you can draw a rectangle, you may not need them.

Enter early and often. If you don't have a place to post your images on the web, e-mail them to me or take Gabe up on his offer of free space. This contest will run for approximately three and a half days. Judging will take place Saturday night at about midnight, EST. Sometime after Cowboy Bebop and before Outlaw Star.

Here are more helpful links for making personalized cards for a CCG that is a favorite of mine, Ani-Mayhem. It gives the low down on how to make the cards as well as giving you the templates.

"Nothing expresses the brutal grandeur of rectal polyps and anal fistulae quite like the mother-tongue of Goethe."

Thanks, guys. I've got a couple more: Magi-Nation Duel has good-sized pictures of a lot of their cards online (use the links under "Card Lists"); you can probably extract a usable template with a little work. If you want to go the sports card route, you might be able to get something useful from Topps with a little digging. I think SkyBox also makes sports cards, but their site was having problems when I looked.

Boy, so far there's a lot of links but no work nice pictures :)

I'm too tired to do the back side...

"And Wirthling isn't worth the paper he isn't printed on."

Insert Anal Sex joke (here).

Since I think we all know by now that fuck=comedy...

This was taken from a Marvel trading card. Enjoy!

I was originally going to say, "I'm too tired to give a whack at the backside." Looks like I shouldn't have bothered rephrasing that.

sorry, but I thought I was the only one who watched those. I guess I was wrong. Damn I always am.

Anyways. I'm gonna try and get an entry in this time.

If I can figure out how.

I think you two make a cute couple.

I'm drawn back to the memory of xpac's comic for me... no matter what I do, people will pick at me.

Yet I don't ask how to solve the problem... that'll make it worse.

What do I do?!

Take it to the Discussions forum.

Since the only one of ElPaso's I could see was the Brad card, I hope I didn't just repeat one of his other entries with this one...

How do you like the "Ass" mana symbol?

About the animeyhem cards... I have a load of them. I never got to play the game very much, but it seemed extrordinarily cumbersome when I did try it. I never could convince enough people to get enough cards to get any kind of games started. Sad, really.

I'll have a few up in a little bit, assuming the contest is still on by then.

Ass mana. Gives a new meaning to the phrase "tap that ass".

I was about to judge, but I'll hold off for a couple of hours if you're still working, Drexle. I'm gonna be up for a while longer anyway.

Thanks, evil_d. I won't take much longer.

I'm officially done now... I wish I could have had more time for this contest. It's almost as inspiring as the video game one.
