So this is a concept I've had in my head for awhile:

Substitoothin:

The idea behind this really is based on the tooth fairy, but in regards to this character it is a more literal depiction of it. As for the name, it is a portmanteau combining the words "substitution" and "tooth".

I'll do a digital rendering of it soon. So until then... Yeah: rough sketch. Criticism of the art is welcome at any stage of this though.

Hah the Tooth Fairy is an actual Tooth xD
I have the feeling that a magical Tooth collecting other teeth can have some dark implications behind it, but the image is cute.
Over here for some reason instead of a Tooth Fairy we have a Tooth Mouse collecting the stuff xP
I've never looked into why that is.

I could go the dark route... Like make it faceless, have a dreary background, give it a few cracks on its body, and change the wand design a bit... But, I am less inclined to do so considering I established it to have a supportive effect as a card. Besides I haven't been so smitten by my rough draft of a drawing in awhile...  I can agree with you, the cuteness factor is real.

And "Tooth Mouse" eh? I am actually quite intrigued by this. I was wondering if other cultures had a similar idea about the tooth fairy. Maybe a mouse is a little more believable since they are so dainty and sneaky, and is based off an actual animal.

The Tooth Mouse is more of a thing in countries with more of a Spanish-root. Mexico, Spain, Philippines, Argentina, etc. 
Though from a wiki search it seems there is a pin-pointed origin to it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratoncito_Pérez
The mouse is a thing since the 1870s, but the Tooth Fairy is a thing since medieval times. I ended up looking all these things up xD

      Banking Jar [BGM Draws]

      Banking Jar Concept:
       
      So this is a concept I am currently working on in regards to a CC I made not too long ago (and one to help break my hiatus and rustiness):
      https://neocardmaker.com/index.php?/topic/1994-banking-jar/&tab=comments#comment-11415
      The concept is suppose to be akin to the likes of Morphing Jar and his brethren https://yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Jar , except this one is a piggy bank... jar *shrug* It has been repurposed; just go with that! In relation to the flavor to the art, the card utilizes coin tosses so yeah I thought the piggy bank being a coin storage is good why to tie the theme together. Another thing to note is that I didn't really know what fantasy currency Konami's artist were using so I borrowed Prediction Princess Coinorma's coin design https://yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Prediction_Princess_Coinorma
       
      Critique and/or suggestions are welcome despite much to be done (e.g. Shading, Lighting, better line art, texture, overall cleaning, and different, more detailed background). Expect a few updates in the next couple of days.

      Trickstar Molucella [BGM Draws]
      By Unlisted Member
      So after attempting to play one archetype that I previously hated, Trickstar, I actually grew a liking to it. So much so I made my own concept for a new member.
       
      Trickstar Molucella
       
      So to see how this would fit flavor wise. Trickstar are based off of the combination of two concepts: Japanese Idols and flower. Molucella is a green flowering plant of the sort as seen here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moluccella On her skirt are the cups found on the Molucella plant. As far as the Japanese Idol motif goes I primarily just looked at the other Trickstars to get a feel of them while trying to not make this Trickstar too similar to the others. Oh and lastly, all Trickstars wield some form of objects... In this case, I chose maracas.
