Ya know, for cutting these out laboriously by hand, I think I did a darn good job getting them all uniform. *smug*

What's the fine print on your icon say?

XD

[uneide.livejournal.com]

The icon is Tristan from King Arthur- the text is the rest of the quote by him - "We all die some day. If it's death by a saxon hand that frightens you, stay home."

It was made by a friend. :)

By hand! With scissors! (The corners are radiused with a hand punch, fortunately)

Did you illustrate all those yourself?? They are lovely!!!

[ellenmillion.livejournal.com]

Oh, no! It was a collaborative project - I think there were 15 or 20 artists by the end. Someday, maybe! I did five or six designs (the blue one with the two moons is mine) and all the printing and layout and stuff. :)

Wowee zonkerberries. So what exactly are these for...?

An EQ fanclub, we collaborated on this deck. Five years, it took, but they're DONE! Just in time, you may remember, for the club to close down. :/

Can you believe I've never read Elfquest? Not a single one. I wouldn't know where to start at this point. But I do know someone with an originl Wendy Pini on her wall. It's a mad mad world.

The first four graphic novels are easily the best - they started getting a little weird after book 7, I thought. And that is unexpected! I thought *I'd* discovered them late in life!

Thank goodness. I saw those images and I didn't know what they were really based on but I kept thinking "someone's an EQ fan".

oh WOW those are nice o.o

They look great. How did you get the images onto the cards? Regular printer? Special card sheets? Sorry, I'm so nosy. :)

[ellenmillion.livejournal.com]

My Epson 1280, but on the plain paper setting, just plain old white cardstock, 10 to an 11 x 17" page. Then laminated with 3 mil lamination (the whole 11 x 17 sheet), cut out into the cards, and corner-radiused with a handheld punch. I want to try it again with some of the really nice paper I've got around and see how nice it looks. (Probably be waaaay too expensive/time intensive to actually offer them as a product, but I'm such a sucker for projects...)

I'm astounded that you cut those out BY HAND!! I have a hard enough time cutting illustration board to get it even! Gads, that must've taken forever!
