Thanks for the comment, Jeremy!

All the pictures were hand drawn, scanned and vectorised. The cards were then designed in Macromedia Freehand, printed on regular paper, cut and put in card protectors backed with old Magic: the Gathering cards. Quite a lot of work, come to think of it. I enjoy doing things like this, for some reason..

I had been doodling these monsters for a while without really any idea of what to use them for. Somehow they seemed like a suitably odd theme for the Battleline remake.

Thanks Ava,

the cylinders are from a bag of random bits and pieces a friend of mine bought from Essen couple of years ago. No idea which game (if any) they belong to.. Sorry

These cards seem pretty cool. They seem to have taken a lot more time than most people would want to spend. Any chance you could upload the rest of the cards so we can get an idea of the homemade version as a whole?

Well,

here are some more examples (also on my website):






(And you may be right -- these did take some time to design.. but I enjoy doing that, for some reason.)

All I can say is WOW. Your painstaking creativity is absolutely amazing and I applaud your efforts. I think I'd rather have this version over the original!

I also want your version. I'm not a big fan of the original theme or artwork. Yours on the otherhand looks really great.

It looks like the provided webpage no longer exists:
http://users.tkk.fi/~ssikio/games/homemade.html

Do you have another website? I would much like to see your other decks. I've made a Modern Art deck and am considering other games and am iterested in seeing your designs.

I really. Really. REALLY. Like your artwork. I was looking at Battle Line pictures to learn about the game and when I saw your image thought, "I'd totally want that game, the visuals are really appealing."

Very nice work!
