Title: LBT Themed Yu-Gi-Oh Cards
Post by: Flathead770 on May 24, 2017, 07:06:02 PM
Some things you see with your eyes. Others, you see with the heart of the cards.

Back in junior high, my friend and I would draw Yu-Gi-Oh cards and play. We decided on using Yu-Gi-Oh instead of other card games for a few reasons. First, you don't have to worry about any types of resource cards (energy in pokemon, land in magic) to limit the deck to a color or type. If anyone is unfamiliar, Yu-Gi-Oh's resources are based generally on tributing (sacrificing) monsters or spending your life points. Second, different summoning types like fusing monsters and ritual summons are a pretty cool idea and allow a lot of creativity. Lastly, we really just wanted to say that you fell for my trap card :lol. About a month or so ago, my friend and I decided to get back into drawing cards and since I had made a few LBT related cards as kid, I decided to try and make a fully themed LBT deck. I've drawn about 50 of them so far and was planning on more but my friend still hasn't made his minimum of 40 yet.

A quick disclaimer if you've ever played Yu-Gi-Oh and are wondering why abilities and such are lackluster, we tried to scale things back and come up with some limitations so things don't get too out of hand and completely broken. Levels of monsters were given base stats of ATK and DEF that could be re-arranged, with abilities costing a set amount of stats.

Since I've made so many cards already, I'm going to be scanning and showing up to 9 on one scanned image, though small groups of cards that work together I'll probably showcase on their own. Then I'll mention any design philosophies or any other thoughts when I was drawing the card. So here we go with the first set:

(https://s26.postimg.cc/4brasiw0p/lbtygo1.jpg)

A few pointers:
-To the right of the name is the monsters elemental affinity. Since I didn't really want to be boring with having the majority of monster cards have and earth affinity I chose the affinity based on the character's nature: Light is good, Fire is aggressive, Earth is neutral, Dark is "evil". I prioritized actual affinities however (Ducky is water).
-Underneath the nameplate are a number of circles denoting a monster level which determine how powerful it is and the number of tributes required to summon (7+ requires 2 tributes, 5-6 require 1, 4 and under don't need any). Pretty much all of the children characters fall in the 1-4 range with the parents filling the higher tiers.

Onto the cards themselves. With the exception of Guido, these were the first cards that I drew. A lot of them were based off of google image searches so I'm not sure what scene they're from. Running out of drawing space is also a problem I had with several cards, so I would either re-draw it or just leave it cropped (as with the case with Petrie). The drawing space is about 4.5cm x 4.5cm.

Specific cards:
-Littlefoot: Revealing a face down card seemed like a good fit both canon and gameplay wise based on his judgement and being a leader (choosing not to jump over the fire pit in "The Great Longneck Test" as an example).
-Cera: No abilites, just a high ATK stat given she's a threehorn.
-Ducky: Low ATK and DEF since she's small. Originally her ability was to special summon herself if Spike was in play, though this is very situational so I changed it so the condition is the opponent has to control more monsters than you. (Normally summoning monsters can only be done once per turn, including monsters that require tributes. Special summoning doesn't count towards this, allowing to potentially set Ducky down then tributing her to normal summon something more powerful).
-Petrie: Since Petrie's always afraid, his ability to return to your hand came out of the idea that he would run away instead of getting destroyed (though you still lose life points).
-Spike: Big and slow. Makes for a good tanky low level monster with high DEF.
-Chomper: Since he's a sharptooth a had the idea that he could eat to get stronger. This translated into discarding a card to increase his ATK if I need to take out a threatening monster right away.
-Ruby: Couldn't really come up with an idea for her so I just made her have balanced stats.
-Mo: Not sure where the idea for drawing a card came from. Maybe because he dives? Though having some way of drawing more cards is good to have.
-Guido: A flip effect triggers when it's flipped from face down to face up. This case it's designed when a monster attacks it while it's face down. I had a similar mentality to Petrie with him being scared though he can only do it once with the benefit of staying on the field.

On a final note, feel free to share any criticism on the cards, whether it's the cards effects or the drawing itself. Also feel free to share any ideas for other cards that you might think of or show off any cards you draw yourself!

These are really good! You can clearly draw well and most of the cards look great. The characters' details are done nicely and their expressions look very natural. I think Spike and Ruby look the best even if the other ones are also done well. The only exception is Littlefoot whose anatomy looks weird. Still, you did a really good job! I'm looking forward to seeing more of your drawings!  :yes

I don't think there's anything with the resolutions but  the pictures could be a bit bigger.

I have no experience with Yu-Gi-Oh Cards and how to play them but I can still comment on the artistic part :lol:

I think these are pretty solid drawings, can't spot any rough slip-ups (and I'm too unskilled as an artist myself to write a critique on details :DD)

Anyway, would be awesome if these were coloured too but it's a really good start and idea! Keep it up, man :yes

It's crossed my mind. I've never really colored too many pictures before so it didn't really bother me. I also don't have any coloring pencils at the moment. I should probably get into it at some point if I keep drawing.

I agree. I was happy with how Ruby turned out and didn't think Spike would turn out as good as he did. I feel like Littlefoot and Cera are the weakest personally out of the 9 and I believe Littlefoot's head is maybe a tad small?

To be honest, I've never actually played a real game of Yu-Gi-Oh before and I agree that magic is a much better game (in regards to your original post). . I had to look a lot of the rules up to learn. I enjoy the original anime though on the sole fact that it's completely ridiculous and pun-filled. I feel like Yu-Gi-Oh gives the most freedom on creating your own cards so that's why it was chosen.

I actually thought about the fact that people won't know how to play after I started typing out my post so I figured I should make a comment on any game specific rulings that might effect the card if someone was interested. I don't even think the Yu-Gi-Oh anime knows the rules to be honest :lol.

yes, I meant image's size :)
For the image sizes these are actually drawn to be the same size as a Yu-Gi-Oh card (the black border are card sleeves). I just scanned a bunch of them at the same time. For comparison:

Alright time for some more cards. Some people wanted the pictures to be bigger so I only scanned 4 this time so there should be a larger resolution per card after photobucket shrinks the image down so it should be better.

(https://s26.postimg.cc/u0sabiie1/lbtygo2.jpg)
Ozzie & Strut: I wanted to draw a lower level card with a dark affinity so this worked out nicely. Since they're thieves I felt it would make sense that they could attack life points directly (even if the opponent has a monster in play) though the ATK is low. The picture comes from some point during the "Eggs" song.

Hyp: Needed another lower level monster for the deck and happened across the image I drew on google and though it was hilarious. The way I drew him makes him look a little psycho but I'm alright with that.  The scene is when he's dancing around during "When Your Big". Since he's a bully I figured lowering a monsters stats made sense (essentially bullying them).

Elsie: Wanted to have more water affinity monsters. Only drew her face as it is really hard to get full body drawings of larger dinosaurs in that small space. I've tried on other ones I will show down the road with varied success. I couldn't really think of an ability to give her so I didn't bother. Could probably include some flavor text instead like one of her quotes.

Mr. Thicknose: Got the picture off google, probably from the 8th movie. Same thing with Elsie, I couldn't really come up with an ability. I was trying to think of something intelligence based (maybe re-organize the top few cards of my deck?). Might change it down the line.

Great drawings, and fun to see.  

As for power ideas, not sure.  I do agree Thicknose should be intelligent based.  Maybe what you suggested, or you get to choose a card for the danger situation, or extra time to think of a solution.

As for Elsie, maybe she can transport a character out of a dangerous situation or area & takes the character, to a safe place.  Like how she saved Littlefoot & Chomper in the 5th movie.  I think that was her that did that.

Never played any card games and have not seen the anime so no idea if any of my ideas fit the game even.

Glad you guys are enjoying these. It got a lot more fun after the initial cards for the main characters as you have to get a bit more creative to look for ideas. It also got me back into watching all the movies and TV episodes to do the research and find good scenes. Coming up with spell and trap cards I found were the most fun to do. 37 more to go!

Thanks both of you. I do enjoy trying my best to be as detailed as possible (though I'm sometimes jealous that my friend can draw "more simply" that look really good. A preference in art style I guess). Elsie ended up being one of the last cards I ended up drawing as I felt like I needed some more monster cards by the end so I had a lot of practice at that point. Glad you liked her!

Well I still have 3 more sharpteeth related cards to show so there's a good chance it's there (as long as your thinking of a real notable one).  :smile

Haha yea he does seem pretty unimpressed, maybe tired of Littlefoot constantly asking questions :lol.

Quote

We'll have to see. I never like coloring as a kid as I always felt like I ruined my drawings. I guess I wasn't too great at coloring but I feel like I should start practicing here at some point. I'm glad you (and Ducky123) want to see them colored however.

@Kor,
Thanks for the input for abilities. Relating to Thicknose:
Having extra time for a situation relates to revealing opponent's face down cards, allowing to see if an opponent has a trap placed or is maybe bluffing. I've used this idea for Littlefoot as well as another card I've yet to show so I'm not sure if I can make it unique enough. Choosing a card I think could work, though maybe toned down a bit as looking for any card might be a little too good (my friend and I are trying to keep things from getting out of hand). Maybe a mix of our ideas? Picking a card from only the top few cards of the deck?

For Elsie:
The transport idea makes a lot of sense and it can be hard to try and translate character ideas to fit the games rules that's for sure. But the idea of taking them out of danger might work as she could take the attack instead of another (like they jumped on her back).

Both ideas were great and helped a lot.

I meant to update this sooner but ended up busy working on my spinosaurus drawing. Anyways, here's a few more cards.
(https://s26.postimg.cc/flk0nh121/lbtygo3.jpg)

Big Daddy: I had the idea early on to use tinysauruses as token monsters (tokens are usually generic monsters that can be shown as coins or backsides of cards. Used in both Yu-Gi-Oh and Magic: The Gathering.). So Big Daddy brings 2 "tinysauruses" with him into play that are really weak. The point of them is to either use them as defensive shields to stall for time or use them to tribute stronger monsters so you don't have to waste other more valuable monsters to do so.

Screech & Thud: When deciding which characters to draw, I tried to only draw characters that had a known name (so characters like Ducky's or Petrie's mom were out of the picture). Since they're almost always together I put them as the same card (like with Ozzy and Strut). They're ability plays around this fact by allowing them to attack twice during battle phase (normally monsters can only attack once a turn).

Mr. Threehorn: The first of the high tier level monsters requiring 2 tributes that I made. Doesn't have any special abilities just balanced stats. He was also the first card where I decided to go back and re-highlight and darken my lines since I draw very lightly but I didn't really darken it enough for him.

Redclaw: The picture is redrawn from when Redclaw first enters the hidden valley in "The Hidden Valley" episode. I wanted him to have a similar ability to Chomper's (discarding a card for 500 ATK this turn). Redclaw's a bit more expensive however as you have to tribute a monster that's under your control but at the benefit of gaining 1000 ATK for the turn (putting Redclaw's ATK at 3300, higher then any ATK of any other monster both myself and my friend have made so far). This can also work well with Big Daddy's ability of having token monsters on the field that can be used to trigger Redclaw's ability.

Hey no problem! It was a burden to know and not being able to tell anyone. I used the troll face as my inspiration, in case it wasn't obvious.



On a slightly more serious note, here are the actual cards I was going to show.
(https://s26.postimg.cc/xcvn1xggp/lbtygo4.jpg)

Littlefoot's Mother: First off, I just had to have a bit of dark humor here. The main reason why I included her was to have her have abilities that's based around her being destroyed. Second, it is really hard to draw a whole full sized longneck in these small spaces. I had to change her pose a bit by having her head wrapped towards her body to fit. There is also not a lot of space to draw the head so it ended up looking kinda weird. She has 2 different abilities. The first one is that you can tribute her and pay some life points to normal summon "The Sharptooth" to the field (instead of having to tribute 2 monsters). The other is that when it gets destroyed (not tributed), you get to look for "Great Valley" and put it at the top of your deck.

The Sharptooth: How could he not be in here? Hopefully this is the one you were actually waiting for Snik? I know he is generally referred to as Sharptooth, but I felt it more significant if he was mentioned as THE Sharptooth, as he is the original. The picture should hopefully be noticeable, the part where he jumps onto Littlefoot's mother's back. I wanted to try and use an action scene for him and this was the most prominent in my mind. It was a little difficult to draw since the original scene is pretty dark. He also has 2 abilities, though the first one is more of joke effect; When he is summoned, he destroys Littlefoot's mother if it is in play. His main ability is that he deals pierce damage, which means the opponent still takes damage if a monster in defense mode is destroyed. This can put pressure on the opponent, especially as you can pick off weaker monsters if they're trying to stall (kinda ironic as Sharptooth was killed by small children).

Bron: Another large longneck to draw but I think it turned out a bit better. I drew him from the scene just after he through the rock down at the sharptooth. Bron can't be played if Littlefoot's mother is in play because he was never around. I was on a role for crapping on Littlefoot's mother so I decided, why stop?  Joking aside, since Bron is a leader of a herd it made sense that he would give a buff in ATK and DEF to all other dinosaur monsters you control.

Great Valley: What's this? Not a character? To those unfamiliar to Yu-Gi-Oh there are 3 main types of cards: monster, spell, and trap. This is a field type spell card. Only one can be played on your side at a time and they usually have some sort of global effect. In this case, it buffs all dinosaurs DEF in play by 500 (including opponents). I'll go into more detail of others when I show them. This was a card I was dreading drawing as I'm not that great at drawing backgrounds and environments. I don't know what movie it's from, but I manged to find a pretty simple shot of the Great Valley with pretty much only 2 major features, the surrounding mountains with a river through the middle. It's really hard to tell without color but the parts just at the base of the mountains are supposed to be trees :lol

That's where half the fun can come into making up cards. I must admit that these cards were pretty fun to design.

Glad that I finally got to see them. I just had to troll you a bit since you kept commenting on it.

Quote

The shading really does help. Otherwise it just ends up looking like a bunch of random triangular looking shapes.

@Snik, Sovereign regarding Sharptooth
At the time I never noticed, but all it probably needs is to just give him some angry eyes to make him look a bit more intimidating. Since that's a quick fix I will probably change that at some point, thanks.

----------------

So now there is going to be a bit of a change of pace. With almost all of my monster cards shown, I'll be switching it up and showing my spell and trap cards now. I'll try and quickly go over the basic rules going over these cards.

Spell and trap cards take up just behind your monsters and can have a max of 5 in place at any given time. Trap cards require to be set (placed face down) for a turn before they're allowed to be used. Traps always have a condition that needs to be met for them to be played as well. Spells can generally be played immediately from your hand if it's your turn (not always though). Spells can also be set however to potentially bluff your opponent into think you have a trap. There are a few different rules for specific types of traps and spells that I'll explain along the way.

Treestar: Nothing much to explain here. It's just used to increase life points. Probably the most boring card.

Night Flower: Brings a monster from the graveyard (discard pile) into your hand. A way of getting a monster back if it was destroyed or discarded previously. It's a pretty fun flower to draw.

Friends for Dinner: Now things get a little more interesting. This card allows you to tribute a monster you control to add it's ATK to another monster for the turn. The idea behind this is to possibly power up your monster enough to take down an opponents stronger monster. This spell card is a quick play, which means it has to be set face down for a turn like a trap. The flip side is that it can be played at any point, whether your attacking or beings attacked, giving it some versatility.

Swarming Leaf Gobblers: A trap card specifically designed for removing other activated traps or spells. Since they eat all the leaves the idea was that they eat the card? Seemed to make sense for me with cards being made from paper which is made from trees. Since this card is a counter trap, it can only be countered by another counter trap (it has the highest spell speed possible).

These cards may not be as exciting as the last few that I've shown so I'm getting them out of the way now.

Yea it's pretty easy to come up with monster cards as you just pick a character and draw it and maybe come up with an ability that makes sense. These cards generally require a bit of creativity and a bit more effort to find a good scene to draw from.

Glad you like them. I'm actually not sure which sharptooth that is? Is it the one in your avatar? Generally I've avoided putting in characters that don't have names and would rely on descriptions. For sharpteeth that falls down to only a few of the main ones.
Now I can still draw it as a card if you want, or if you just want to see a drawing of it I can put it in my fanart topic. That way I could do a proper sized picture instead of a 4.5cm x 4.5cm one.

Well I think it's about time for an update.

(https://s26.postimg.cc/wknx5m5y1/lbtygo6.jpg)

Takes All Sorts: Sorry Ali fans, this is the only time she comes up out of all the cards I drew. This card allows you to search your deck for a monster that doesn't share an attribute with a monster that you already have in play, up to level 6. That means if Littlefoot is in play I couldn't search for monster that has a light attribute. Remember that diversity is the rightest way, according to reports at least.

Time of Great Giving: The initial idea for this card was quite different and was more or less intended as more of a joke card. Originally it had both players giving one of their cards in their hand to the other. While this was neat it felt quite impractical, so it got changed to be a draw support card for potentially both players.

Trip Vine: A trap that lowers the ATK of an attacking monster. The main purpose of this card is to lower a monsters ATK enough so it can be destroyed by the monster being attacked. Hmmm, why is Chomper's mom's ankle claw so far down the foot in this drawing? Not sure why I did that.

Convenient Boulder: Poor Chomper's mother, getting hit with all these traps. This has been a joke with a friend of mine that there always seems to be a rock or something that's conveniently placed so that it can be knocked down on sharpteeth. The requirements for this card is higher, requiring a total combined level of 7 among all of your monsters, but at the benefit of straight up destroying attacking monster.

You're right, I have no idea where I got the idea from (also sarcasm). Time of Great Giving was one of the first spell cards I came up with and started a trend of picking songs and movie titles for spell ideas. I also liked it since I got to draw Nod or Mutt (I'm actually not sure which is which) since they don't get much spotlight.

As someone who understands the rules more, since I've been knowledgeable of them since the show came out in the US, I do have one main criticism.

Big Daddy - If my eyes did not deceive me, he has 5 stars and low attack and defense points.  This means that I have to sacrifice a monster just to bring out something that's meant for nothing more than stall and sacrifice. (Especially with his ability.) I would highly recommend removing at least 1 star.  I feel he should be a two to three star monster, especially with that low attack and defense.  It would be much more understandable in my opinion.

Also, do you have any of them as Fusion, Synchro or Xyz monsters?  They are popular and without any of them, one is at a disadvantage in this day and age.

Other than that, I'm looking forward to more of what you have.

Title: LBT Themed Yu-Gi-Oh Cards
Post by: Flathead770 on June 20, 2017, 06:38:54 PM
@pokeplayer,
Originally I was going to have Big Daddy have another ability of some sort to help offset his lower stats but ran out of room. I could lower his level down so he doesn't require tributing as I do want him to have lower stats since he's small. Some change is probably warranted. My friend stopped drawing his cards though so I haven't put too much thought in to updating any of my cards.

I don't have any xyz or synchro cards since my friend and I have only bothered with the early Yu-Gi-Oh seasons. I do have a couple of fusion and ritual cards though. Fusion took some thought as physically fusing LBT characters seems strange. Ritual monsters may be a bit archaic compared to others but they're kinda fun if you happen to have the cards (This whole idea is obviously meant to goof around with and not be taken too seriously).

Thanks for the input and also feel free to correct me on any rules I screw up when I'm explaining things. I haven't actually played a real game of Yu-Gi-Oh before so I've just been trying to look all the rules up.

@Snik,
Ha, classic. Is that a Polymerization (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Polymerization) I see him eating?

--------

(https://s26.postimg.cc/yb6y73nh5/lbtygo7.jpg)

Stinkweed: This is an equip spell, so it stays in effect as long as the chosen monster remains on the field and the monster gains the effect of the card. The card pretty much acts as camouflage, preventing the monster from being targeted by spells and monsters as long as another monster I control can be targeted. Traps and global effects still work however. The picture is interesting as I drew the top half from LBT14 but had to use a similar pose from another movie since it was cut off (I ended up using a scene from LBT9).

Great Day of Flyers: This picture ended up being poorly planned as I intended to draw more of Petrie's siblings flying behind him (from Flip, Flap, and Fly). Another draw support card that is better the more wind attribute monsters you control. I used Pot of Greed (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Pot_of_Greed) as a reference and made it's base effect worse with the best case scenario better.

Big Freeze: If anyone knows how to draw an effect to simulate shaking, that would be great as it looks a bit too static the way it is. Anyways, this acts as a stall card, preventing both players from attacking each other to help you set up. Similar to Swords of Revealing Light (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Swords_of_Revealing_Light).

Tar Pit: Similar to Big Freeze, it traps a attacking monster and prevents it from attacking again for a couple turns. Useful to stall a powerful monster. Since Hyp jumped into a tar pit that was under a layer of water, I changed it to look more like tar by having it stick to his body and look more viscous.

Imaginary Friend: An equip card that takes the hit for the selected monster. Generally used to keep a monster alive so it can be tributed to summon better monsters.

Invasion of Tinysauruses: This was probably the 2nd hardest card to draw and while it was an idea I had early on, I wasn't sure what the picture was going to be. I ended up re-watching all of the 11th movie and found when they were all charging the sharpteeth to be a perfect scene to draw from. The effect is the same as Big Daddy's, summoning 2 tokens to the field (I actually ended up giving the same ability to Big Daddy as I couldn't come up with anything else).

Call for Help: Another scene from LBT11, mostly because I wanted to draw Ducky again since other characters were getting more spotlight. The card almost works in the opposite effect of Takes All Sorts where you get to look for a monster that shares an affinity with one you control. The idea was like they're calling for their parents. It costs some life points as well with the benefit of having no level restrictions.

Impromptu Song: Of course I had to include a song related card. This was another idea that was hard to find a scene to draw as it had to look like they're singing.I ended up finding a scene by accident when I was re-watching all the TV episodes (this was from the Friends for Dinner song in "The Brave Longneck Scheme"). All monsters switch to defense mode to sing. :lol Since it's a quick play card it can be used on the opponents turn, preventing him from attacking and if they have monsters with high ATK but low DEF you can then attack next turn to potentially destroy their monsters.

With most of the basic spell and trap cards shown, I'll show cards relating to fusion and rituals next. Only 13 cards left.

Post by: Flathead770 on June 29, 2017, 08:10:11 PM
So a quick explanation on ritual summoning since the next set shown has one. Generally two cards are required in your hand: the monster card to be summoned and the specific ritual spell card. Another usual requirement is to tribute monsters (either from your field or your hand) so that the total level tributed is greater or equal to the ritual monster's level. The downside to ritual summoning is needing both cards to summon but has two major benefits. First is that tributing can be done from your hand so you don't need to build up your field to summon. Second is that ritual summons count as special summons so you can still summon the monster if you've normal summoned this turn already.

(https://s26.postimg.cc/h6zafaba1/lbtygo9.jpg)

Earthshake: Littlefoot's legs look a little disproportional to his body but oh well. This acts as crowd control, destroying all low level monsters in play. This can help prevent the opponent from setting up for tributing though it should be done after you've tributed your lower level monsters first. Destroying a lot of monsters with this card can also cost a lot of life points so it should be used with a bit of caution.

Sharp Tooth: To help with the difficulty of ritual summoning, this card searches for Saurus Rock, the ritual spell card to ritual summon Doc at the cost of tributing a dark attribute monster from either your field or your hand (Snik, your favorite sharptooth has a purpose :lol). If anyone is curious, I used the tooth knocked out of the sharptooth in LBT 6 as reference.

Saurus Rock: Not too much to say effect wise as I have already explained everything. The drawing ended up alright I guess. I'm really not sure what I'm doing when it comes to drawing natural structures like this.

Doc, The Lone Dinosaur: The main card of this showcase, the fabled sharptooth hunter. As of yet, I haven't given him an effect so I just gave him high stats. Since he shows up to defend against sharpteeth I was planning on having an ability where his ATK increases when attacking dark attribute monsters. I was a little hesitant though since my friend was making a dark attribute focused deck so I felt like it was specifically countering him.

is it just me or are you getting better at this?
Hey thanks! I definitely felt like I was improving as I was drawing these.

I keep meaning to update this more regularly but the time seems to slip away. So last showing was a ritual summon. This time I will show fusion summoning. To fusion summon a fusion monster (located in your extra deck, a separate pile that you cannot normal access. This means you don't have to worry about getting the card in your hand), you need all of the fusion materials. This is usually at least 2 certain monsters and a spell card like Polymerization (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Polymerization). Here's an example (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZ6HqUztGJ0) from the anime. The benefit of this over ritual summoning is that the monster being fused does not have to be in your hand. Also, the spell card is a generic one that works with multiple fusions instead of a specific ritual card. Fusion summons also work as a special summon as well so you don't have to worry about the normal summon rules of only 1 monster a turn. The downside is that while ritual summons can tribute any type of monster, fusions usually require specific monsters that need to be fused.

I kinda avoided the idea of fusion monsters for a while since I didn't want to physically fuse LBT characters together and create some weird abomination. I kinda did a work around that fits within the show thanks to the TV series.

(https://s26.postimg.cc/g5z1q5uah/lbtygo10.jpg)

Hidden Runner: He has a similar effect to Stinkweed, preventing him from being targeted as long as I control another monster.

Sleep Stories: I originally had this card act as a trap card, but had this current idea when I looked at Cera's nightmare scene in "The Spooky Nighttime Adventure" as reference to draw the card. Basically this card acts as the fusion spell card like polymerization to summon a manifestation of a characters nightmare of another.

Nightmare Runner: Fusion between Cera and Hidden Runner. Since these cards are based on nightmares I figured I would have their abilities based on destroying creatures. For Nightmare Runner, when a monster is destroyed by it the opponent loses double the amount of life points they would originally lose. So that works out to be (Nightmare Runner's ATK - target monster's ATK)x2.

Doc, The Sharptooth Nightmare: Fusion between Chomper and Doc, The Lone Dinosaur. It was very hard to get a got reference to draw this so the only option was a close up on his face. I had originally thought that to fusion summon you need at least one of the material monsters in play so I have the requirement of having Doc, The Lone Dinosaur in play to summon this. I was planning on changing this in the future as this card is a fusion of a ritual monster, which makes it practically impossible to use (I would also probably lower his stats a little as well). It does have the highest base ATK though and it's ability allows you to gain life equal to target monster's level x 200. It's high ATK means it can pretty much destroy any monster within the guidelines my friend and I made so you can easily gain a lot of life back.


We're at the final home stretch. I only have 5 cards left to show.

I've actually been done all my cards since before I even became active on the GoF again. I just didn't want to flood the topic with all these cards all at once. I'm just bad at keeping frequent updates.

Anyways, on to the last set of cards.

(https://s26.postimg.cc/d0efzybo9/lbtygo11.jpg)

Rainbow Face: Since ritual summoning can be tricky with relying on getting the right cards, Rainbow Face can help by getting the ritual spell Stone of Cold Fire when summoned at the cost of life points. It's a similar idea to the Sharp Tooth card I showed a while back that searches for Saurus Rock.

Stone of Cold Fire: Not too much to say. It's the ritual spell for an upcoming card. I decided on drawing it's simple flying image instead of when it landed as it was quite detailed and would probably look really messy.

Pterano: I'm curious if anyone was wondering if Pterano was going to show up or not. Since he's a Flyer it made sense to me that he would reveal all cards the opponent has set on the field, kinda like flying up and scouting the field.

God Pterano: Shout-outs to Jittery Dragon for this one. So you might be wondering what the heck is this all about. My friend and I decided that each of our decks is going to have a "god" card (similar to the 3 Egyptian god cards in Yu-Gi-Oh: Slifer (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Slifer_the_Sky_Dragon), Obelisk (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Obelisk_the_Tormentor), and Winged Dragon of Ra (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/The_Winged_Dragon_of_Ra)) that have really good abilities and stats (relative to our rules of course). Onto the card itself, the idea of God Pterano is actually from a person named Jittery Dragon who used to make LBT related YTP and one of them had Pterano become a god when touching the stone. The videos don't look like they're up on Youtube anymore but I did find the part here (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4nbshv) (at 3:49). His first ability makes him immune to spell and trap cards, which is an effect all god cards have. The second one allows a monster from the grave to be put into play (the idea is taken from the female rainbow face's description of the stone and how it might grant powers to heal the sick and other miracles). This means you can tribute a high level monster from your hand to summon this card and then bring it out into play with this ability.


And now for the final card

(https://s26.postimg.cc/52k0yaye1/lbtygo12.jpg)

Wisdom of Friends: From the beginning I knew I wanted to have a friendship, group related card. To name it Wisdom of Friends came up pretty early on when I started brainstorming ideas since I was already using names of other sequels and song titles. Thankfully LBT14 also had a nice group shot to use as well with the whole gang. This was absolutely the hardest one to draw, with trying to fit all 7 characters into a 4.5cm square, but it was also the most fun to do. This is my only continuous spell card as well, which means it stays active permanently unless destroyed. Every dinosaur monster under level 5 you control gains 200 more ATK for every other dinosaur monster you control under level 5. That means if you have a full field of 5 monsters under level 5, each one gains 800 ATK. Apparently friendship powers don't work on adults (though that would make this card a little too good).


So that's all of them! I currently don't have any plans to draw more since my friend ended up stopping half way through making his deck and I've started doing standard drawings. This was a good way to help break the ice after being inactive for so long though and it was a blast to draw and see all of your feedback on these cards. Thanks everyone! :DD

Even my favorite sharptooth card was drawn long time before? :D

God Pterano? Oh my...

Yeah,  that shot from LBT14 is awesome. But cut Ruby's and Chomper's parts... :( you could move Spike to the left a bit.


Thank you for this fun! I liked to see all of them!

Thank you for sharing these!  :) These look great as always, especially the rainbowface's expression looks excellent. I also like the JOTB shot but I think the pencil lines in it look less clean than in the others and Spike's positioning is a bit off too. Overall, this was a great project from you and I really liked the ideas you came up with it! I truly hope you continue making LBT art in the future!  :yes

Certainly an interesting project ^^spike

I do wonder what else we'll see from you in the future as I'm sure this is just a teaser of what you're capable of :smile

Haha no that one I did draw after you mentioned a couple times you wanted to see it. I still had some card templates kicking around so it wasn't hard to quickly draw it.

Yea I knew coming into this that I probably wasn't going to get all of them fully into the shot. I'm fine with Ruby since you can at least see her face, but poor Chomper. Half his head is cut off. Instead of moving Spike's side to the left I think I would rather have moved Littlefoot's side to the right to give Chomper some room.

I think I was a little too scared to touch the drawing after I had done it. Usually I draw it in extremely light until I'm satisfied with all the touch ups, then re-trace it a couple of times after to get those cleaner edges. For this I think I only re-traced once. It's a lot more evident with the image blown up like this. Looking at the actual card it looks a lot better.

That's the current plan!

*Pressure building* Kidding but I am looking forward to it as well. I have a somewhat crazy idea for a long term project but I'll keep it under wraps for now until I've made some progress.

I'm just a tad late but thank you very much.


I have just a small update for those who might be curious. After about 10 months when I first started creating these, my friend finally finished creating his cards for his deck and we got to duel. So far we played 3 games, 1 was quick due to luck of the draw (or lack thereof) while the other 2 were a lot longer and back and forth a good bit. I'm happy to say though that in the end friendship came out on top with a straight 3-0 sweep.  :)littlefoot

My friend is talking about still making new cards so while I have nothing to add right now there might be a chance I continue this in the future. If that's the case I'll obviously post them here :smile

Haha oh my. Would need to figure out some sort of drug induced effect that makes sense within the rules of the game haha

would be interesting to pick it up again, though I more focused on more standard drawings nowadays. (and hard to come up with something that can fit within a 4.5x4.5cm area.

Yeah those cards were fun! I like the one with Spike eating all the cards :lol

Hmm, actually, maybe that should be the effect of a purple treestar, or some other colour that's unusual for a leaf. Red (and yellow and orange) treestars seems more like it's just when autumn comes around.

That is true. Not sure where the idea came from but the idea of mind altering red treestars came about at some point. Maybe in the caption section?

For now I think I'll put off working on these again as I'd rather continue improving and prompt participation takes priority as well.

Good to see that this is still well received. Maybe one day I'll come back to it.

I swear to god, if nothing else would’ve convinced me to vote you for the Fanart Award, this definitely would do it. My god, you drew all of them by hand, and yet all so clean and perfect as well. Even the first Yu-Gi-Oh cards you ever made didn’t look like it had any flaws at all. Beautiful, just beautiful Flathead770. :cry

Yet, I can’t say that I’m surprised though.

Well the the pictures themselves were drawn by hand, the outline of the cards themselves were mass produced on a sheet of paper and cut out.

Thanks a lot! I appreciate the praise, however I don't think something I've drawn back in 2017 should count towards my vote in 2019. It should entirely depend on what I drew in the current year. At least that's how I view it.

As a Yu-Gi-Oh fan, I find these card drawings and concepts amazing. X) Espically the concept for the God Pterano card (I have no words to describe Jittery Dragon's epicness for editing the transformation sequence. XD). Also that"Sharptooth that yellowbellies killed by singing and dancing" card... BEST MONSTAH CARDO EVAH!  :bestsharptooth

Thanks! Yeah my friend and I wanted to each have a "god card" in our deck and that was the only thing that came to mind that was LBT related.
As for Best Sharptooth, this was indeed where the idea came from. Needed to have a much shorter name though for practical purposes then what I originally had  :bestsharptooth
