Ugh, why ruin a card like that. At least pick a bulk set card, not a vintage promo.

I wonder if this would be able to be wiped off if someone cracked it out

Genuinely asking: what’s the appeal of sticking a second Mew on top of an already beautiful Mew? It’s competing with the original artwork, and it looks worse by comparison.

Also it doesn’t make any sense (to me) that we have 2 versions of the same Pokemon, 1 shiny and 1 not: I’m nitpicking, but this shows how little care they had in this regard, with zero attempts to better integrate these two artworks or sketching something more interesting.

To me, this new trend feels like a kitsch cash grab, which hopefully doesn’t result in too many cool or rare cards being ruined.

Tru artist would have drawn a krusty krab deep frier for mew to back flip into

That would be incredible… but they clearly they are not looking to be creative. Creativity might lower the $$$$

When you have a market that is as red hot as the one we have now, there’s no telling what kind of nth order effects we’ll see. moduwa is now swimming in GS Rayquazas that he buys using the proceeds from his traced/full copied “sketches”

Where there’s demand/hype/love for PSA auto slabs, there will be sales…

I thought it looked cool.

Fair!
It’s just that you could probably have had it drawn on a Psychic energy card, and it wouldn’t have changed anything in my opinion.
I think this is my major criticism.

More competition for Moduwa.

Is this the artist path to success now? Learn some art → gooner MTG arts to start off small as an unknown → furry commissions to build instagram followers → get PSA approved for Pokemon sketches → successful independent artist?

Tiny correction, otherwise spot on.

Sorry, I meant gooner anything art/sketches on MTG cards, as @Dyl has pointed out in another thread.

It seems like an infinite money glitch, really:

  1. buy holo energies or old maid cards
  2. project an art of a stonker Pokemon onto the card
  3. trace it
  4. sell card for $1000
  5. Repeat
