Hey artists! QRP with your sketch vs final!
Thats pretty much the setup for the material. I did also model and UV map a 3D model of a card for the textures to align to. Here are some messy Blueprint screenshots so you can get the general idea of how the material is set up. Anything not in a box is something I was experimenting with.
The holographic effect is on a hueshift node combined with a fresnel node so you get color shifting in relation to the camera position. On some cards I even applied some simple animations to the like the rain. I forgot the specific nodes, but scrolling or rotating textures are pretty easy to look up
From there you can start to apply effects to each texture before they get blended. I use ParallaxOcculsionMapping nodes to get the 3D effect. Each layer is on a slightly different depth to get the parallax effect.
Its been a long time since I messed with this shader and I don't remember the specifics, but I can try to break it down. Basically it is a bunch of separate textures blended together with Lerp nodes. [card frame, art, background, effects, etc] From there I can start applying effects to textures.
They did add a few waves of support for toon cards. They added stuff like Took Dark Magician, Red-eyes and Black Luster Soldier. While not competitive, they do have a solid game plan now and can function as a full deck.
2nd attempt at a scratchbuilt beam gun since my 1st attempt was a touch to small for a master grade.

Here's 3 Gunpla builds to get to know me.
This is one of the reasons why YGO cards tend to have outlines and an outer glow around the subject of the card. (like 95% of all YGO cards follow this rule) It helps with readability and makes them pop on small card art. Cards that don't follow that rule tend to look more like MTG cards.
Modern YGO has a very wide range of art syles. Nowadays you get stuff from a Cat Frappuccino creature to eldritch dragons. It has come a very long way since the object PNG with effects. Those still make up for the majority, but YGO has been getting much more creative with composition)
Do they remember if it was a shiny / holo card at all? That would help narrowing down what card it is. On the top of my head maybe D.D. Assailant, Swordstalker, or Dark Blade? Most great sword wielding monsters are knights or muscle builds.
I got a 30 Minute Fantasy kit over the holidays and started customizing it into a custom action figure. [Buster Blader from YGO] Very impressed with the articulation and build quality of the 30MF line.

SM is here!
Laundry Fumo is ready for the holidays.

I am quite impressed with TCG Pocket's parallax card shaders for their 2*+ rare cards. It makes me want to go back and update the holo card shader I made in Unreal Engine 4 a while back. Mainly the foil pattern not popping as much as TCGP's implementation.

Still my favorite card from childhood. Shame its so hard to summon and it is not really supported in Dark Magician or Buster Blader decks.
Last 2 cards for my custom Buster Blader support. They are more photo bashes than something I drew, with art coming from official concept art or card art. Partially inspired by Monster Hunter since that is pretty much Buster Blader's play style.
I occasionally draw ygo art for custom cards, mainly Buster Blader related stuff
Buster Blader, Construct Destroyer Swordsman time-lapse.
[Yes, I used a gunpla as the base]
Laundry would steal Buster Blader's Whelp in the matchup.
True Destruction Sword Flash
Art for the Signature Attack move for Construct Destroyer Swordsman. Inspired by Raftclan's finishing move from Super Robot Wars and True Charged Slash from Monster Hunter.

Dont worry, you have 2 of them.
Its Shin Buster Dragon, not Shins Buster.
Destruction Sword Whelp x Dragonmaid
Laundry Dragonmaid encounters a new friend while cleaning.
More of a cameo card than serious support for the Buster Blader / Dragonmaid archetypes. Inspired mostly by @hatanokiyoshi.bsky.social 's work.

Buster Blader, Construct Destroyer Swordsman
A new Buster Blader fusion to round out the original 3 Destruction sword equips [Dragon, Spellcaster, Machine] Concept is that Qlis are the intended fusion target, which is what the armor is based off of.

Buster Blader, Magical Destruction Swordsman [Early 2024]
Original art of a Dark Paladin retrain but based on Buster Blader rather than Dark Magician.

Lightning Buster, Destruction Swordspear [Early 2024]
Original Art for a new Destruction Sword weapon (based on swordspears from Dark Souls). Concept wise, its a lightning rod to provide some protection. First attempt at drawing in 1st person perspective.

Radiant Destruction Swordstress [Early 2024]
Art for a purified version of Dragon Core Hexer. Spellbinding Circle and Protector Whelp are suppressing the Dragon Curse. Her sword is also a reference to the equip spell, "Sword of the Dragon's Soul".

Shin Buster Dragon [Early 2024]
Art for a fully corrupted Dragon Horn Hunter. Like Buster Dragon, she spreads Dragontaint and makes other monsters on the field into Dragons. First attempt of drawing using the "blob" method, which I still currently use.

Dragon Destruction Swordstress [2023]
Art for a retrain of Dragon Horn Hunter / Dragon Core Hexer re-imagined into Buster Blader lore. Concept is that she is getting more corrupted by Dragon blood and in turn is spreading the Dragon plague.
