Hello everyone! I recently started doing a collection of amiibos, and I wanted to have them in card form too, so I started making custom designs for those.
Since I'm a beginner at image editing, I'd really like if you could give me your honest opinion on those, along with a few tips on how to make them look better if possible.

My goal is to make a design for every single amiibo existing, with every different serie of amiibo having their own design.

You can use them without having to credit me.
I'm only asking you to send a picture of the cards you printed with my work, in case any of you like it. :D

Here's the imgur album for the Smash serie of amiibos: http://imgur.com/a/Pula7

I will add more to this album whenever I got some free time.
If you guys want to see a specific amiibo, just let me know, and I'll make it as soon as I can!

Again, thanks for reading this, and I hope you have a good day!

Thanks you! I really appreciate it! :D
May I ask you where you ordered them? I was thinking about buying mines from Tagstand, since they sell PVC cards with the chip inside.

These are pretty good, but there are white edges around all of the characters and on some of them it looks bad against the black background, you should get rid of that.
Also I think the font and the text coloring could be better.

Ah, I got you, I just checked the prices, and it's cheaper than Tagstand! I will definitely order them from Aliexpress. :)

The real Jdbye: I will try making a new design today so if you have some tips, let me know!

@TheCyberQuake Yup, those are credit card sized! I'd say wait a few minutes before printing them, I'm working on a new design and it's looking even better! :D

EDIT: Uploaded the new design in the same album! :D
I would recommend adding a few mm of bleed to each edge. It makes it easier to get onto a card

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
