How to make tokens?

[Dsx Cherno]

ive seen some people who have awesome foil tokens that they made themselves. How do they do that?

[Dsx Cherno]

Maybe. If i can't do it myself, I will use Noble, but I like to be hands on DIY

Since they are tokens, you don't need to have a magic card back or strict thickness right? This allows for some art on card-sized board. All you need after that is the foil. I do believe you can buy that stuff in hobby-stores

Doesn't have to be, but I'd prefer it, and would absolutely prefer to have the same thickness and ability to stand up to abuse.

I promise you, it'll be easier to just have Llama do it. You need a sufficient printer, and it's quite difficult rendering the images without them fuzzinessing Up.

Neither of those are a huge issue. My last job was with a sign company. I learned how to take inferior images and vectorize them, and how to work with them, and I still do some work with them, so I have access to the 63" commercial printer.

I WANT TO MAKE A 63 inch BRONZE SABLE CARD

Oh jeez. I still have to pay for material

I've seen some good videos on YouTube. I think I searched mtg proxy or magic the gathering proxy

I'll have to check that out when I get home. Worst case I'll not do foil, and just make tons of 2 sided tokens. Maybe see if my dad (tattoo artist) can whip up some cool art for me

Give a man a fish feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish feed him for a lifetime.

The more people who can do this stuff the better.

Or contact Llama ;-)

That's a last resort. And it sounds like he wants something from me haha.

Should I see what the price would be for a 5 foot bronze sable?

[Kaylesh]

That should be foil :p

[Dsx Cherno]

If I remember my prices correctly, it's gonna be well over $150, and that's just printing it. Then there's what material to apply it to (i would recommend 3mm PVC and put some grommets in it and hang it on the wall). And then idk where Noble lives, so idk what shipping would be, especially since it would need to be shipped flat and bubble packed.

The other option would be make it a banner. Easy hang up, and easy ship.

In ur dream world, how would you want the giant sable

[Dsx Cherno]

Like a giant magic card

52.5 inches high
37.5 inches wide
Foiled out
"Magic card" back

That should maintain proportions at 15x normal card size

What about thickness? I would imagine the standard thickness wouldn't do too well
