Just stumbled upon your channel and learned you had passed. Was typing a message to reach out about how awesome your work is and wanting to collaborate on a project I'm working on called WEFA. I know I didn't know you but I just wanted to let you know how good it felt watching you create and If I bring WEFA into the world I dedicate a piece to you. ❣

rest in peace

Yeah! I’ve only had Pokémon cards before so it would be nice to have another type of trading cards 🎴

Been wanting to make my childhood dream of making a monster TCG and found this video. I am so saddened to hear that the creator of this video passed on to the next realm. As another female who loves monsters and fantasy, I was hoping to befriend and network with Dina. I bet she was an amazing person. So imaginative and creative and very kind to produce this how-to for all of us to see. Thank you.🙏🏼 ☁️🌌🌒🌕🌘🌌☁️

I think its really cool you're so willing to share how you do the nitty gritty stuff, it's so sweet of you to want to inspire people to do their own versions! A lot of artists are... secretive about their process

I love your art sooo much!!! I really like your random creature designs, those are always really fun and relaxing to watch.

It’s always a good day when Dina uploads. Thanks for explaining your process!

Every time I watch this intro... my heart warms up. It just looks so peaceful ♡

The second, third, and Re-Designed card are my favorites so far!!! Of course everything you make is amazing and inspiring as always

Just wanted to say that I love your artwork, Dina! Your a major inspiration to me and your creature designs are the best!

This looks so fun! thank you for sharing. Your creature designs are always so interesting and inspiring!

I'm doing my own TCG and this video is awesome.

Yes! I love Bella Sara I collected so much when I was younger. I still have them. I was so mad when I no longer found them in Wal-Mart

OMG Bella Sara was my life! I used to have soo many cards! I also used to play the game online, i was soo obsessed with it!

I absolutely love the design you have on your cards. Very exquisite and beautiful.

Your art style is ADORABLE.

this is so satisfying to watch!

yay now we know! super interesting,, and they look wonderful!♥♥ You are doing amazing Dina!

This was great! So much info and the cute creature you made for the vid quite pops against the card! Super fun! Thanks for the guide! ♥️

I'm trying to make a card game for the library I work at and this was super helpful, thank you so much!

These trading cards you made are beautiful 😍😍😍😍

I am not sure how I came across this but absolutely phenominal!!!!! Very talented young lady, Pokemon needs to hire you!!!

This is a clear, well made process, thank you for the great video!

Thanks. I have been planning a card game so this video is going to be very helpful when I get to the execution phase.

Amazing!!! The most entertained I’ve been with digital drawing EVER!! It still feels like your drawing. You know? ❤️thanks for that. All seems effortless when making the cards. but I’m sure it is SUPER DIFFICULT 😊 Thanks I wish I can afford to be a patron 😊. One day. Thank you. ❤️

Finally I can make custom character cards to trade with my friends who don't exist 😌 I'm gonna buy a printer one day, I'll put this on my to-do list

That was a wonderful demonstration of how to make cards. I am messing around with the mechanics of a card game. I make cards by using pencil and colored pencil on index cards. The quality isn't very good. Howeer the cards are usable. It is good for playtesting. Once I figured out the mechanics, I can make nicer pictures with higher quality. Maybe I can even get them printed out. There is no sense in spending a lot of effort making a card pretty if it just won't work very well in game. It seems that mechanics is king in a card game.. The most daunting thing about making art for cards is the huge scale involved. I can make an amazing painting in Krita with realistic rendering. I get into shading and texture. However the downside is that it is very time consuming. It takes me a few hours to do a single picture. I am okay with doing it. I can focus for long periods of time. Having a wonderful artpeice at the end is so worth it. However doing this for a card game would be very difficult to do. Card games require a lot of cards. Each card has its own picture. So doing a lot of pictures starts to be come ovwerwhelming. Doing a large collection of pictures in general is overwhelming. It is okay to have twenty pictures or so. However if hundreds of pictures are needed, then it starts to be a problem. Big trading card games solve this problem by hiring a whole team of artists to do the art. More artists can do more pictures in a timely manner. For example Magic the Gathering cards look amazing. THe pictures are rendered so well and so realisticly. Wizards of the Coast pulls this off by hiring a bunch of artists do do the pictures for it. I can't afford this now. I don't have any income coming in at all. I like the picture done in this video. The dream weaver is so cute and pretty. The picture is so flat, but it still looks great. The character esign is good, and that is the part that really counts. I looked carefully, and I see that the picutre is cell shaded. That is a good way to go, if one is startng out, and they have to do all the pictures themselves. Having a two dimensional picture is easier and faster than a rully rendered three dimentional picture. It still acceptable. Heck some people out there are huge fans of 2D anamation and the decry the switch of animated movies into CG. Cell shading provides some three dimentional depth to the picture. However it is not as realistic as the full blown shading that is in images like CG animation and Magic the Gathering Cards. So this is a place where I can cut corners. If I do cell shading, I can finish pictures fast. Then I can churn out a lot more pictures to accomodate the needs of a card game.

Such an amazing video. I have been having the hardest time trying to make a vintage styled trading card for my page and this video def helped.

this video gave me lots of inspiration! thankyouu!

Ok definitely gonna have to try this. Great video 👍

1:45 I've never heard someone say and not spell out 'AKA' I'm in Northern US. I'm curious which way is most popular. I guess it's just not used much in speech and more so in literature. It's so interesting how language differs in various regions. I loved this tutorial I really want to make my own cards now ^-^

I played on the bellasara website SO MUCH as a kid, on my grandparents computer, oh my god

Well these are wonderful! Thank you for help!

I bought so many Bella Sarah packs as a kid! I loved them!

I’m excited!

Yesss Bella Saraaa I never collected Pokémon cards but I was obsessed with Bella Sara lol and how you could take care of the horses on the website skdjs I still have mine

Omg your so good a wish I could have one of ur monster card things cus they look so cool

This is so amazing! I wanna do a card game, your tips are helpful. Thank you!

I've been wanting to do some sort of trading card with the art I make on my channel, thank you for showing us your process!

Wow! Amazing!

You are an amazing artist

I've been making creature cards for my patrons too, it's a great reward. Mine are a bit more like postcard prints though (pretty much the smallest I could get without them being a business card) and I have been considering converting to a more standard trading card size. I do love that pokemon card feel.

Your work is amazing!

I'm glad I found one of your videos

I love these! Thank you

That art is amazing!

Oh my god yes Bella Sara! That was all me and my friends did😂🥰 And the website!!

You are an amazing artist.

Thanks for making this video I have procreate and I wanted to remake this tcg I made in grade 3.

Bella Sarah was my favorite game. It has a online game! In the childhood i was so happy with this

Omg I loved the belle Sarah cards, even if 1 only ever got 2.

wow your work is epic and cute! love it.

I'm painting a deck of poker cards right now and it's insanely much fun but lots of work.. Everything traditionally (sketch witch pencil, lineart and then watercolor). Interesting to see how you're doing your cards. Love your vids and your sweet personality! Greetings from Germany :)

Imma follow you bc I've be doing this for a while and your stuff looks amazing 👏🏼

I think you would be extremely pleased to know that this is the first video of yours I’m watching and I’m watching it because I miss Bella Sara cards and I’m toying with the idea of making something similar XD

Thank you sooo much your the best you tuber omg good video!!

I just found this channel and dont regret it.

Love love LOVED this!! (Side note, if you're on a Mac you can use "screen record" with Quicktime to capture your computer a lil better. Hope that helps!) But this was amazing to watch!

Oh my god I loved Bella Sara- me and my friend had so many of them I stil have an entire box! I loved them so much I had like two of every card or some kinda crazy thing

Amazing!

thank you for this video❤️

I have a question, sorry if it's stupid! At 6:00, when drawing the boxes, how do you make sure that the box is symmetrical, as in the left and right sides of the box is equal? I've been trying to figure it out on Procreate using the 2d grid drawing guide, just trying to line up the rectangle with the grid, but I'm sure there's an easier way to do this? D:

Thanks you so much for this im so inspired

Hi Dina, I love your work I just became a Patreon of yours. Keep up the awesome work.

So glad I stumbled across this video! Nice work and great advice and tips!!(:

As soon as I feel ready for such investments I'm definitely gonna do them! Thank you so much for showing^^ Btw are there also other side's or shops you would recommend for these kind of things ?

I would honestly LOVE for these to be made into a game similar to pokemon/magic the gathering. They are beautiful!

Ooooh bellasara was my childhood! Fiona was my favorite card, I think I still have her... I remember being on the website for hours just caring for all the horses from the cards

5:06 Wow! I didn't see that coming! (Creature Swap)

SUPER COOL!!! 😍😉👍

Dina, I love all the cool things you make!! How do you go about making your stickers?

Väldigt coola kort, Jag älskar designen!!!

I remember Bella Sarah and I still have most if not all the cards I've ever gotten. I also would play on the online version of it a lot

Im gonna find these helpful. Im also wanting to make a tcg ever since playing pokemon, mtg, and cardfight vanguard. I took abm to help me with the business lol and still planning what the mechanics will be

Omg Bella Sara was my childhood :0 I just recently found the DS game and bought it but omg 😩 Also your art is amazing
