When I do mine, I keep the card at full size (3.5" x 5") and then use (usually) Arial Narrow at 72 - 100. If it's a really wordy card (some Plot Twists) I'll take it to 60.

How do I know if the card is the right size? Is mine?

Looks great! It appears as though it's saved at 72 dpi and that's just fine. As so long as you keep the ratio like you have it, anyone downloading it can resize it to make it more printer friendly, so no worries! Anyone wishing to resize a card may wish to change the dpi to 1000 before resizing (this will keep the crisp clean look) to standard card size.

Don't! I started modding Horrorclix when the game first came out, heck I was still trying to get REVs from the core set! I had been making Heroclix mods for years before that. If I go back through my old Monster Cards I can guarantee you that over 90% are really dorked up and will need to be redone!

That's what I do when I look at all my old mods. I remember when I had Warhammer I would ofter strip the paint off the chappy looking ones and repaint them to a better standard. I kept one guy from when I started that never got repainted, he was to remind me where I started.

That's always a good thing to do. I refuse to repaint my old figures. Our talent evolves but that's no reason to forget our origins! Heck, Lovecraft destroyed countless of his early tales. A shame really...

Lovecraft spent his whole career beating himself up. Ironic he has a cult following after his death.

It's a real shame that he never even got an inkling of how important his work truly was.

Very cool! Yeah, they go rather quickly once you get the hang of them. I gotta confess that I'm happy as hell that I decided to make each level of each card. Takes about 10 minutes or more of card prep out of the equation. Sooooooo much faster now!

Just remember, the artist is his own worst critic. Unless Sarcanis is critiquing of course!
