I would google "botw zelda amiibo"

I think you mean champions? There was only one guardian amiibo. Also, are you talking about the paint strokes? Cause all of the botw amiibo have different paint stroke backgrounds on the official box arts, not just the champions. Other than the paint strokes I'm not seeing any other differences?

I meant; the paint strokes you used for most of the cards are the same, but you used different paint strokes for the four champions. I was trying to figure out if there was an easy way to swap the background for the four champions so they have the same backgrounds as "botw card archer v3"?

Would you mind telling me what options you picked to print your cards? The bleeding/cropping on MPC seems a lot more than the guides in the images. I used "Custom Game Cards (63 x 88mm)" as the base. Thank you.

the bleed area is 0.5mm on each edge. So you would need to find out what bleed they are expecting and then batch crop them to take off the difference.

ok i see what you mean now. I have a bunch of photoshop files on my mega drive including the original botw cards. So you can remake the champions with that if you want to have the exact same background on all of them.

I understand, I think. So I need to add extra "padding" to compensate for their bleed basically. Thank you for explaining.

I just took a look at the mega drive again, I believe you're referring to "botw_template_by_random11.psd". I can definitely make the edits myself but is there any chance you wouldn't mind sharing the 4 Champion Characters png's or layers, please?

If the answer is no, that's unfortunate but I understand that you're going through the thread that you're having trouble with people taking credit for your work.

by the looks of it you have to remove some padding not add it

to give them to you i would just google them again I dont have them saved, which you can do yourself if you need them. Trust me, its not like they are hard to find. The character art is the easiest thing to find for pretty much every amiibo card. It should take you like 2 minutes on google images.

All good, I did find some after spending a good amount of time looking over the weekend but not the ones you used. You'll notice that the ones I could find were missing the art around the feet and I'm not near skilled enough to add that back in.

Thank you for all the help and feedback, I'll remove some of the padding and I'll share how the cards turn out. Have a great night. :)

the bit around the feet is from the version of the images that have paint strokes in the background. I might have cut them out myself so you'd have to do the same if you want that too. But if youre just fixing the corner of the background... import the finished images from the mega folder into the photoshop template and mask that bit out. You dont even really need the character art.

To properly make a card that matches the BOTW V2 and V3 cards I need to recreate the paint strokes behind link. That is annoying and IDK how well I will be able to do it (I did it horribly for the BOTW cards), so it will probably be a bit before I feel like tackling that. In the meanwhile, here are V1 and V4 versions.

Hope everyone enjoys the game.

I commend you for having such dedication to your work and to do the best job possible. But IMO, these three TotK cards look great. Thank you for your work!

Took a shot at making a "v2" version of the TotK card, based on a mashup of Random's amazing v1 and v4 images.

Hey! Just wanted to say thanks for doing all of this...again. LOL, I've stepped away for years to only come back and see you're still keeping at it. I appreciate it!
