This isn't done yet (although technically it DOES say Land - Island Mountain)
But I grabbed a quick pic with my phone ...

I'm loving this :D
But Duals take quite a while to clear off, the textboxes are hell to over-layer effectively.

Some of you may not be aware that the reason Primal Clay did not come out in Japanese 4th Ed. .
No Japanese mystical clay? Wooooah, then I shouldn't be selling mine for 50 cents then.

Exactly. In fact two years ago I visited Greece on that day and found they had made a national holiday out of it..............

The text isn't perfect, but there is just so damn much of it.
I love it! I'm loving doing this, I can feel myself learning more and more.

My Hymn to Tourach sold for $35 :-O
I guess other people like it very much too!

Goes to show people will pay too mcuh for anything


you gotta watch your katakana "ta". right now it's too stylized and looks like "Nu". Also your "n" is looking a lot like "so".

Between "toshi" and "sore wo utikesu" you need a comma, not a period.

Edit: your kanji for "shiharai" looks a bit strange too. the top and bottom halves should be roughly the same size.

Thank you. I'm grateful for the feedback.
Now, on the "n". The first stroke, is it more of an - or an ' ? (horizontal or vertical)
Also, that is supposed to be a comma, I just didn't bring it down enough. The periods are the circles :D
You'll have to excuse my Kanji ignorance (I know my kana, but I know very little kanji) which one is that?

Actually I see it now, especially the "n" and "so" deal. Ugh, that looks bad.
Ah well, it is on eBay anyhow. I'll let the masses fight over it, then I'll do better ones soon.

I'm working on cleaning up my Japanese, as it is pretty hard to keep it neat working so damn small.
So, I tried tracing out card boxes onto a card sleeve, then I wrote in them.
Granted, a sharpie can only get so small. The text box characters are fine with it, but the title HAS to be done in a thin brush.
One of the characters is a 22 stroker (maybe 21, I could have miscounted), and another one is pretty complex.
Besides, I have to use a brush for the white in the title anyhow.

Better? I think it looks a lot better, but I have to apply it.
The first few lines are more crisp than the last two.
