Custom Rahcelius EX

2014 Note: I am NOT taking card requests/commissions at the moment. If I am, I will announce it in my DA Journal.
And I am especially NOT re-making this for anyone; it's simply a personal thing for myself. I'm leaving this here so no one asks again, thanks.

Ermagerd, I gawt dis card frm a pack! So eye took an artistikartistik photo to sHow its majestie...derp.


Obviously, not really.

After seeing some full art Pokemon EX cards that have been out as of late, I was left thinking "I wanna make one! o:"
Sooo... I made one. Pokemon subject of choice is Rahcelius, mah Rayquaza.

The background, Rahcelius image, text, and set symbol were done from scratch. The rest of the resources(holofoil stock, card borders, symbols, etc.) are from the lovely Pokemon Card Resources group.

The effects aren't meant to be treated seriously. The point was to create a nice looking card so I hurried and came up with the effects in like... 10-15 seconds?

The only thing I put effort in was making sure the terms are as close to the Pokemon TCG wording as I could make them. I forgot some capitalizations(P in pokemon and E in energy) but otherwise it looks pretty good for a first try.

All the work was done in Photoshop CS2.
