Hey Kieth, please tell us...

As if you dont have enough to work on with answering posts i hve added something new for you to do. I dedicate this post to asking kieth questions that you may have on how the card making process or the idea making proccess happens.

I will start off with question one

In what order do things occur dealing with a card title effect and picture? what im asking is does a picture get drawn and then you make a name and make an effect or do you have a name and effect chosen so you hire someone to draw a picture according to your ideas. that has been a question on my mind for awhile.

Actually, you should be able to answer this question yourself Skippy. The members of this ME site have created hundreds of card possibilities. None have any artwork for them. The card design is probably the same way; design a card then have an artist make several sketches of what the picture could be...

ok....fine then it wasnt a good example question but this could be na interesting thread still....sigh oh well i tried.

Most every card starts with the card text, then the art is sketched out, then the flavor text is written. Sometimes, the flavor text comes sooner and helps to influence the artwork. That pretty much covers it, I think. =)
