Welcome to the Pokemon Diamond Trainer Card Contest!

Founded by Eclipse and Minirizzle, we decided to revive this contest to encourage a more varied community in this forum, and to hopefully find some new talents! Everyone is free to participate, and don't be afraid if you are just a beginner, participating in these contests are the best way to improve!

Rules:

Official Templates - The base of most cards, while it is acceptable to use them, you will find you can achieve much more of yourself and your creativty if you use custom templates, either created by yourself or others, and you will also find that you might just get a better score if you do!

Badges - Not all cards use badges, but for those that do, the following will fill your needs. Feel free to create/recolour your own.

Font- This Userbar font is the standard and expected font that you should use. You may use other fonts, but it usually ends up being unconstructive towards your grade.

How to upload your Trainer Cards - Simply join for free at Photobucket and it will upload any of your cards that you have saved on your computer, and will give you the URL to post it in this thread, and on any forum.

Custom Templates:

Here are some custon templates that you are free to use, with credit given, of course.

Nice to see another Trainer Card competition. Hope this goes well. I might enter and have my card by tomorrow.

Good luck with this. ^-^

Another TC comp I have no time to enter lol. Good luck with it.

I havent time to enter this comp unfortunatly but hope all goes well, i may find time to Make a triner card, i don't know. Guess you'll have to wait and see

Just to say, if I manage to dish out any trainer sprites, I'll let you guys know.

I've never made a trainer card before, but since this is a fresh start, I'll definitely enter.

Ooo great to see a TC thread here too

Being a free round I may as well post the first TC I ever made...I put it in the official sprite thread a couple of days ago - can I edit it at all before putting it on here???

Current Round:

Theme: Open Round, however, you must use a card you have not used before, and your card must have its own theme, which you can make up.
Judge: Eclipse

Do you have a card you have not entered into a competition? Because that's what it means. It doesn't matter when you made the card, just as long as it hasn't really been seen on Neo. And guys, saying that you can't make time to make the Trainer Cards isn't really the types of posts wanted here, and tbh, just looks like your trying to raise your posts counts.

Thought I'd kick thing off. I really struggle with the font and badges colour here, and I'm not too happy with them. Overall I think it turned out all right, but not my best.

Steels recoloured with Espeon and Mewtwo, to look like Psychics.

Nice to see the first TC up - I like it - good job

My first TC hasn't been in any competitions so it should be ok then?

Edit: yup I'm entering it I really want to see how it fairs



The theme is Me! with it being my first TC I wanted to use the things I liked and those that reflected me most.

Therefore I have used my favourite six pokemon - Arcanine, Milotic, Articuno, Rhydon, Rapidash and Walrein (in that order) and recoloured everything with my two favourite colours - orange and yellow - I used fire in the background due to it being my favourite type, with the Aaron trainer being used you guessed it - because it's my favourite! oh and I picked out my favourite badges too

Credit goes to Sweet Sorrow for the TC template

I think yours would look better with a gradient background Mini.

2 entries? D= Come on guys!

Hmm, good question, it might have something to do with the fact that he's the judge?
