Hi everybody,
Not sure if this counts as art but, in a way, kinda, right?

I recently graduated from college with a diploma in computer programming and analysis. After graduation, I wanted to start and work on a project aligned with my interests and that could have a real application. As a big Magic the Gathering fan, this led me to building a site called Trade Finder. Trade Finder is a platform where users can create listings, set a location, and other users can reply in hopes they will work out trade details and meet up locally to trade.

The goal of Trade Finder is to help players meet new people, find the cards they want, and step away from always buying cards and paying shipping. Rather than always going online and buying a card users could first post on here to see if anyone has the card they are looking for and would be willing to trade. While developing the site I've envisioned it helping people make new friends they can play with and maybe get them out and interacting with their communities. Stores could see increased traffic as that would be somewhere the users could meet up safely and new playgroups could be formed.

The site is still being worked on. It currently uses scryfall's API for all card details, has a listings page with the option to filter by your location, a built in messager to communicate with other users, and a rating system for if a trade is completed. I wanted to get the core fundamentals in place and then get feedback from users on what they think would be useful features or areas they think could be improved. If anyone would like to check it out, the link to the site is: trade-finders.com I'd appreciate any feedback that you guys would be willing to give, there is an email linked at the bottom that I am currently planning to use for people to report bugs or request improvements! If there are any questions or concerns please also feel free to comment here.

Thanks!

Jan Jansen Chaos Crafter, this was one of my first decks that I built and still absolutely love it. I had a lot of fun doing this alter.

Hello! I'm an artist and i do all types of art and i recently started painting some cards for myself.

I love Zelda specially Skyward sword.

But i noticed some struggles while painting, i have tried acrylic paints (Ghirahim is painted that way) and acrylic markers (Zelda is painted that way).

I struggle A LOT while doing the background so i can do my sketch i have tried painting it with brush but the base is uneven.
Also with spray paint, the base is better but even if i cover with tape some places the paint gets through.

I would really appreciate any advice with the base or even while painting.

My layers sometimes have textures T -T

Today a friend’s cat passed away and in memory of her I would like to commission her portrait as a treasure token (or another card/token if someone has a better idea). We play commander damn near every Saturday, sometimes at this friend’s house, and knowing she won’t be there will be a difficult time for us all im sure.

I am located in the US, please let me know if this project interests you or if you know another artist who may be interested. I’m not opposed to ver seas shipping, but ideally looking for someone from North America.

Feedback is appretiated

Started as one alter for a friend that turned into a fan favorite. Doing my best to keep them all unique! Golden acrylic paints sealed with Liquitex professional matte spray varnish - but I’m open to suggestions on a better spray varnish for foil cards to keep some shine.

First alter in a long time. Actually a redux of one I did way back when I first started. I did a horrid job of prepping the card (for some reason, I sanded off the ink), so the surface was not great for paint and markers. I also made the mistake of giving it to a friend who is no longer part of my playgroup, so I never get to see it. lol.

Thanks for looking!

Pen and acrylics!

It was a new challenge with the large black sections, which I had to cut out in one go, but I think it was definitely worth the effort ❤️
