Nightmares on Cardboard

I came across the Nightmares on Cardboard Contest over at Thorzul Will Rule and thought I would give it a try. I chose the 2004 Fleer Greats of the Game for my card design. I, of course, really like the set but, frankly, the set is ideally set up for someone with my rudimentary Photoshop skills to work with. Here is my initial rendering of the front of the card, with a real GOTG beside it for comparison.



I still have to add the text at the bottom of the card and figure out how to better do the edges of the creature. That all should be relatively easy. The back, however, it going to be a challenge. Good thing I have a few weeks.
