We have a Guess the Card Game, but I thought we might try a similar game with card artists. Many collectors like to dive deep on card art and the artists of this and other TCGs, so this can be a fun, easy, playful way to learn about different artists within the PkMn TCG.
Basically,
Name the artist of the last posted card.
First with the right answer, posts another but with the artist line cropped out.
Artists must illustrate for the PkMn TCG. But can branch to other games, with relevant artists.
I’ll start.
This is a different style for him, but is an artist we should all know.
Nice! Older artist that we haven’t seen for quite a while! There were some major home runs in their portfolio. I’ll leave it a mystery for a minute tho…
His style really brings out the realism of each pokemon, especially the eyes! Its no different with the horse just staring you down, very intimidating, which us the point haha
Nope! It was a misdreavus! Yuko Baba! Baba is still doing cards. Nice to see an older artist continuing to add to the portfolio! …she/he really seems to like trees.
OK, Love this illus. Never made it onto any official merch (I don’t think). Finding the artist might take some sleuthing, but it’s a pretty distinct style.
Continuing in that vein, here an artwork that never appeared on any official artwork, and predates their official work for Pokémon as far as I know:
The style again, is very distinct for this artist.
… Ken Sugimori.
