I finally have time to do something for our community too. I'm working now on character cards for Rebellion. We started a card project some months ago with Monsh, but since she's gone and I don't know what the current status is, I just thought, we could continue what she beginned. Creating cards "my way" for Rebellion Reloaded : 1 The first point is, that we're creating cards for REBELLION! That means, we should use it's own concept too, so my suggestion/oppinion is, that we should NOT use drawings from comics, cartoons! OR we should use comic drawings only. But don't mix them at all costs!! It's not estetic, looks weird... I know, I know, there are some characters witch can only be drawings, like yuuzan wong and so on. Rebellion uses PHOTOS for source pic. We should do that too. 2 Photos. Ok. But please no Claudie Shiffer stuff! Dodonna has nothing to do with Sean Connery... So we can't use photos of celebrities either. It can be really disturbing. 3 Family and self portrait photos are ok ( I made a card of my girlfriends photo too. Hope she doesn't recognise it... ), BUT REMEMBER: Rebellions characters are very well choosen. Remember that the original actors were choosed because they were very characteristic and I think the fictive extra personnel of Rebellion is also very well picked. Use CHARACTERISTIC faces! Common, or too pretty faces are boring. If you want to use such a photo, you should alter it quite drasticly to get a real SW character. 4 Avoid photos with bad quality and wrong lighting! If you're scanning small faces, use a higher DPI rate! Your photo MUST be SHARP enough to get altered! Blurring a picture is easy, sharpening it back is almost impossible... 5 USE YOUR IMAGINATION! When you're creating a card, you must know, how your character could be in real life. Age, height, behavior, manner... If you're making a card of Thrawn, don't use a picture of a young childish guy and so on... Imagine how he could look like. Altrough, I think that Thrawn's picture in Rebellion is superb, and doesn't need to be changed. 6 ALTER your photos! Rebellion's agents have photos for source, but they are artistically overdrawn and modified. A common photo is just as disturbing as a comic drawing. 7 DON'T OVERRATE your character! Use stats, that are realistic enough to fit into the SW galaxy. A frequently problem is, that almost all of the new agents uploaded are super-jedi masters with increadible leadership and diplomacy skills. Keep it in balance! These point are only my thoughts See it as an universal suggestion for creating Cards...
