## Artist Collectors Assemble! (and Everyone really)

We have a [Guess the Card Game](https://www.elitefourum.com/t/guess-the-card-game/41318), 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.

I love the textures in this one!

I had to double check, because it is so different for his style. 🥁… Ken Sugimori.

@xileets, does it have to be a Pokemon or can it be something unrelated illustrated by a Pokemon illustrator?

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…

I KNOW I recognize this card, but can’t place it. Is it Shibuzoh?

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.
