Tips & Tricks to send illustrations for Monster Orb TCG
Monster Orb TCG is a game where the community helps, either with rules, new cards, banlists, etc. Anyone can send art for the game. Here's how you can do it and what you should and shouldn't do to have the best chance to get picked:
Section 1
What you should do:
1) Create a backstory: A backstory helps the card creators come up with effects and create combinations with other cards. A backstory is highly recommended. (Applies mainly to Master cards and Super Effect cards.)
2) Coming up with a name: Coming up with a name removes weights from the card creators. When sending your card(s), we highly recommend giving a name. (Applies to everything: Monsters, Items, Masters, etc...)
​
3) Propose stats/effect (s): Proposing stats/effect(s) removes a step from the card creator's schedule. If the stats/effect(s) are not balanced, we'll balance them, but giving a basic idea can help us create the cards.
4) Say the card type: By saying the card type, creating the card becomes easier and quicker, without looking at the card for 20 minutes and deciding that it's an Item card when it was supposed to be a Monster card.
Section 2
What you SHOULDN'T do:
1) Create racist cards: Talking or create illustration which could be offensive to other races will not be tolerated in this game.
2) Pornography/Nudity: When creating an illustration for Monster Orb TCG, make sure that no sexual parts are visible. (Applies mainly to Master cards and Monster cards.)
3) Excessive Gore: Excessive gore will not be tolerated in this game. Make sure that if you want to add gore to cards, that it's not excessive, better, don't add gore to cards.
4) Swear words in ANY languages: Monster Orb is a game for everyone, childrens and adults. If your card name, art or history contains a swear words, it will immediately be rejected.
