Artist's Comments

Edit: For those who were curious, this was the completed flyer. Cally gets huge kudos for the awesome work making the graphics look so much like the real LvX pack flyers! Make sure you go check out her site if you're into TCG, as well!

For April Fools Day this year, four of us decided it would be funny to prank the Pokemon card collecting community by tricking them into thinking that they were getting an awesome set of promo cards to be released alongisde the 12th movie this year. Why cards? Why not! And as :iconcallyfin: runs a (really quite awesome) Japanese TCG scans + TCG news site, [link] , we were already waiting for go-time :D


Card/flyer mockups + awesome site: :iconcallyfin:

Arceus gets a prize for being too damn hard to draw. His anatomy is so bizzare and this was an ill-conceived angle XDD I like his head though.


Palkia's image is my favourite, even though Palkia itself isn't my favourite of these four Pokemon. I don't know why; I just really like it.


Dialga was done on the wire XD He's not exactly hard to draw, but he comes in close behind Arceus for frustration factor XD His adornments made this pose a pain to come up with.


And Giratina was the one that triggered the whole plot. I decided to speedpaint it while bored during Feb and it all snowballed from there. I've been hanging out to show this off for ages!

Thankeeeeee :D I really got into these because I found a new way of bringing out ambient colour and painting things, and they were a fantastic exercise in developing the technique :D Looooots of fun!


Bahahaha, and a new game just came out too :]
Well, I've always said: you never recover from Pokemon -- you only go into remission :lmao:!

Wow! The colors on these are gorgeous, especially in the Palkia one. I like your Giratina the best, the pose and angle just seem so fitting.

Great work!

Man I'll totally try and spread this when I see it. xD
:icondoobzerz:
Oh wow, these are great! I can see what you mean about the ambient color...the colors and poses have a sort of synergistic effect here. Gives them all a lot of personality.

Really like Giratina's wings too. :D
