Advice on LOTR retro frame
Any advice on which retro frame (not necessarily limited to these 2 examples) works best for some vintage LOTR art?
I basically want to recreate the entire LTR set as if it had come out pre-2000, with vintage art.
Looking for some public input before I make a ton of cards. Also let me know if someone else has already done this exact project.
EDIT: I greatly appreciate everyone’s feedback, I’m glad there was such an interest. Some decisions I’ve made for this set: I’m making both variants (white border 4th edition & black border 7th edition frames) of all cards. I found a workflow and it takes less than 1 minute longer per card to make a second copy. Worth it since some cards just seem to pop in the white border.
I’m sticking with the creature type format “Summon Avatar Legend” etc, but I’m not expanding all of the rules text to be super long format. As old school as that would be, it’s a bit much.
Yes I’ll share a drive folder eventually. I’d love to see others print this.
Biggest struggle is actually art, surprisingly! This set has some ultra specific things. Mithril shirt for example, there is a perfect Ted Nasmith art but the only image on it appears to be a camera photo of a framed print at a 45 degree angle. Feel free to share more niche art/artists from the 80s/90s other than Nasmith, Hildebrandt, McBride, John Howe, Alan Lee.
