Post subject: Creativity Challenge no6: Make a custom card
|
 |
|
Until Sunday night Pacific time.
Either AAM or WAS.
It must be a real, historical unit that was in service during world war 2.
The card may already exist as an official or custom card. Yours must be at least a bit different.
You'll be judged on both appearance, historical accuracy and elegance of the S.A.s that you choose.
If the winning card is historically accurate, it will be part of the forumini series of cards (either AAM or WAS).
It must be at most 500x400 pixels.

I'm wondering if it isn't a bit of a short notice... I'll see what I can do, though I can't think of many ships that haven't already been done!

I always thought you liked De Ruyter  . It doesn't have to be a new unit.

Yeah, it's pretty much the only Dutch ship with an interesting story behind it. But it's not really deserving of any noteworthy stats or SA's.
At the moment I'm considering doing an Ace U-boat (probably Gunther Prien's U-47) or a Milchküh.

What if we did a card before you did the same card? Can we submit those SAs?

You can submit a card for any unit you want. The unit may have appeared before as custom card or as official card. No problems with that.

how do we tell how big the image is? If I just make one the same size as your cards (ND) is that fine?

Mine is 443x330 or so, so yes.
You tell the size by right clicking on the image and going to advanced properties, or something like that.

Thanks very much, very little experience with the graphics stuff, but I think I have a cool SA or two in mind.

Here's my preliminary submission:
I may well modify it before the deadline (the SAs in particular), but I don't know if I'll have time.

yeah if I were you I'd dump the Bull of Scapa Flow thing. That's too magical for many people. And rather annoying to play against I'd expect.

"why?"

That was the whole point 
But I do realise some people may be uncomfortable with this, so I'll probably come up with something else. I already have a couple of ideas...
