Best Looking Foils (Include Scans, Please)

[ket_the_jet]

I was talking to MuadDib about how I thought Theoden, Leader of Spears was a badass looking foil so I decided to scan it and share the glory.

Edit: I removed the really crappy scan of Theoden and added this wondrous photo!

I had an issue with scanning them too, so I just took a few pics seemed to capture the foil a bit better. I think that the angle the light hits the image in the scanner is to front on. It needs a bit of an angle to capture them.

Elf Song, just like this one has a 3-D kinda feel to it. ]


The Last Alliance of Elves and Men, just a cool card



King of the Dead and Troll of Cirith Gorgor

I have few more I got pics of to but didn't want to make this first post to long!

Whooaaa thats big! lol if I should let me know and I will list them individually didn't expect that.

It's okay with me. Although I am not fond of the Troll of Cirith Gorgor foil.

Most of the Wraith foils look great (I have quite a number of them and my brother has a fellowship of them that is mostly foiled). I will add a few more as well when I am bored or otherwise feel like it.

For me, a great foil is one with a lot of detail. Elf-Song looks nice, but since it is just the entire background foiled, I am not as fond of that as something with a "light-effect" foil, like Edoras Hall.

I love the Wraith Foils to, I think another one I have that I like is Shagrat he is kinda crazy looking. I have a few other site cards I took a pic of to.

Crashed Gate and Farmer Maggot's Fields

 ,

Peril and Treebeard are cool to

Wow! I often ask myself "why do people always make such a Dramaabout foils, the effect still stays the same?", but whenever I see a card foiled I've never seen before, I'm like: "Hmm, very impressive, no I know why you guys like foils so much."

All those foils above are very nice. Really all of them.

I am in the process of resizing lol they look pretty good at an inch too!

I love that one myself, I have another pic of it where it looks kinda blue. Its crazy how just the slightest angle can bring out a entirely different color. I get torn between should I click now, now lol.

Here are some more nice ones.

I think your scanner has the same issue as mine...you really can't get the gleam. I'm going to take some pictures with a digital camera so that I can manipulate the light and make the foil really shine.

Thanks for posting those though, MuadDib. I haven't seen a foil Ruling Ring in quite some time.

Yep. Legolis' scanner is awesome!

Another wierd thing, when I sign out and try to view the foils rings I posted, they're gone... Yet yours and Legolis' are still visable while viewing as a guest..

Actually I'm using a camera lol, Scanners are on a 90 degree angle and don't catch the foils very well. I'm just using a Cannon powershot digital camera a indirect light source to eliminate glare and getting at a slight angle. I would advise turning off any flash on the camera.
