This Illustration contest was open to residents of Japan only. Of 5000 entries, 50 were narrowed down. Sometime in May they will announce 6 winners. What’s your top 6??
Here’s mine:
UPDATE: Top 8 have been chosen, winner will be announced in June
WINNER:
SECOND PLACE:
damn a charizard illustrator cards coming.
very interesting…
I’ll pick your avatar.
The others are weak, amateurish.
Wow most of them are quality!
The slowpoke section is killing it! That bathtub slowpoke needs to happen:
These look great. The Slowpokes are the definite winners in my mind; I’d love to own any of those as cards!
So many amazing arts it’s hard to choose! I’d happily take them all as cards
So 6 of these will 100% become cards? Loving most of them but I thought the ho-oh part wasn’t to the same standard as most of the others tbh.
Amazing artwork! I really want to see a Gyarados entry one of these years. These would be my winners:
Wish their was more than 6 winners. Lots of great artwork. My favorite is the last Darkrai picture.
My top 6 
Ah man, every piece is awesome. Here’s my favs:
Is it safe to say that bath tube slowpoke is gonna win haha it’s definitely a stand out one
Unfortunately the rules say only one grand winner to be a card. The other 5 are cash prizes and don’t say if will get a card of the art or not.
Unfortunately, indeed. They could easily make an entire mini-set out of them. The quality is simply that high!
That Mewtwo card radiates energy
Jeez, some of those are absolutely stunning… can’t we have all of them!?
where’s my wallet
holy shit when will this become a card? these are amazing i would love a slowpoke 
!!!
These looks so much better than most art academy contest artwork!
Well yeah, not being confined to a Nintendo 3DS to draw on opens a lot of doors!
