TWITTER THREAD TWITTER THREAD! MTG is currently suffering through the ugliest series of cards they've ever had. But I think YGO players can do better! How BADLY can you design the upcoming full arts? This is the bar:
@MBTYuGiOh Every time I see an extended art of an existing card, I am deeply disturbed if they're given feet. Its so unnatural. I hate it. Of all the possible frame break possibilities, slapping feet all over my card arts is the least desirable. 🤢
@MBTYuGiOh Why ruin the art with all that unnecessary text.
@MBTYuGiOh WARNING: Spoiler next Full art
@MBTYuGiOh i believe the ygo card layout is flawed from the begining. and so are MTG's. i can count with my hand tcgs that made fullart cards correctly, the first one is pokemon tcg of course and the second one is my darling, cardfight vanguard. just dont look at the butt ugly secret rares
@MBTYuGiOh The WURM monsters has to be one of the ugliest in all of yugioh nur I really liked there Design
@MBTYuGiOh my 10 years of experience in graphic design comin in clutch, oh btw this is definitely full art
@MBTYuGiOh All they have to do is the art and then just a miasma in the background. Think every DM era card or the amorphage monsters. I admit ot CAN be done well but it just makes me long for something more fun. "Hey Jerry we got this cool dragon art where should we put the-" "P U R P L E"
@MBTYuGiOh Made this one from scratch (Ignore previous one, forgot about the full art)
@MBTYuGiOh Since they said frame breaks, they could still fuck it up by doing this for all of them
@MBTYuGiOh Gotta go for textless full art of an advanced Yu Gi Oh staple
@MBTYuGiOh This is the perfect time for a air neos reprint
@MBTYuGiOh They give us the dub anime style cards where they can't show the effect due to advertisement laws
@MBTYuGiOh After enlisting the help of AI-Commentary for the Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championships Konami has turned to the talented "artists" of NexusMods to design their debut line of full arts for the TCG.
@MBTYuGiOh Just copy what Galzo was doing with full arts a few months ago, or in other words, completely remove all text boxes and color so identifying the card type becomes an absolute nightmare.
@MBTYuGiOh Graphic design is my passion
@MBTYuGiOh dude that's literally just a Vanguard card on the right https://x.com/TrinityNovaVT/st...
@MBTYuGiOh There is only 1 correct answer
@MBTYuGiOh Fuck it, you gotta work for it if you want ANY info outta this guy
@MBTYuGiOh inspired by the shitty 3d pokemon full arts
@MBTYuGiOh Since Magic printed tournament legal Phyrexian language cards, maybe we could get tournament legal Hieroglyphic cards as well? The Egyptian Gods are obvious but it could also work for Hieratics and Ogdoadics too.
@MBTYuGiOh saw these ugly japanese exclusive ygo frames sure hope these NEVER come to the west!
@MBTYuGiOh "we at konami noticed there wasn't enough space for the card art and we also noticed fans wanted more iconic scenes from the duel monsters anime. so for our first full art card we used the iconic scene where kaiba summons bewd and removed all the filler from the card art"
@MBTYuGiOh I wamted to do this with one of the more, uh, *alien* designs but none of the images fit vertically very well. (No language existed in the Cambrian sea so I picked the oldest one I could find a translator for)
@MBTYuGiOh Hear me out. In order to MAXIMIZE card art real estate, why even bother putting text on it at all? Just include a QR code with a link to the official database entry! This solves the problem with too much text on cards too!
@MBTYuGiOh Whatever, go my Elemental HERO Wildheart (alt art overush) (Also everytime i have to get this image of Wildheart I HAVE TO BUILD HIM EVERYTIME, PART BY PART)
@MBTYuGiOh Kinda suck that the full pendulum monster card art got blocked by the pend text, so why not just stretch it Now you can see odd eyes feet in all of its glory
@MBTYuGiOh As excited as I am for the new full arts, there is definitely a world where they get too cute with incorperating effect text into the art, pokemon suffered from this. Anyway this is my take on that
@MBTYuGiOh this IS based on the most recently shown new cards but i think we can do it better
@MBTYuGiOh what if we take the dark world cards and color the border in the same colors as their names like sillva would be a silver bordered card, reign-beaux would have this ugly af color, grapha would still have the same border because it's graphite etc or just do the whole card idk
@MBTYuGiOh I think we should go back to the OG yugioh card designs where they don't even write out the effects. Only print vibes. We all know what every card does anyways
@MBTYuGiOh Full art armoured glass showing the matching glass crocs.
@MBTYuGiOh well if they're supposed to be border breaks i guess it would probably look a little like this
@MBTYuGiOh instead of just putting the card text where it would normally go but with no text box, why not incorporate the card text into the art itself?
@MBTYuGiOh Whipped this up myself because I thought it would be *really* funny if it actually happened. I don't even think it looks that bad. He just a goofy lil guy.
@MBTYuGiOh 2 options: undynamic slop having nothing exciting to show or youtube thumbnail slop making them unusable as game pieces and only made for collectors to put in pack opening video thumbnails
