What about MTG Alters? I have come across some pretty cool PokĆ©mon artwork though I currently donā€™t collect them but would seriously consider if the art resonates. Not sure if they match what you are thinking of in terms of custom PokĆ©mon cards but they are technically drawn-to-order with PokĆ©mon in there. For example, came across this island alter (with Tropical Wind) on eBay a couple of years ago and thought it looked neat. ![IMG_5767](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/a/e/ae21ec3ee8615f0fca631205dad3701786cb88f8.jpeg) ---

This Card Has A Few Inconsistencies, Grass as a weakness? no psychic resist? An English Card With The Japanese Set Logo? Full Art But Not A V/Vstar, Or EX? Umbreon Is A Basic? ---

I also love the MissingNo cards Iā€™ve stumbled across. I donā€™t actively pursue custom cards, but I have picked different ones up over the years that have caught my eye. ![IMG_1044](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/6/9/69c299faaf510f609cbc934fba32860fc403b395.jpeg) ![IMG_1045](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/8/7/878b2ed5df8e2e111eb67c592831731b8c867a3a.jpeg) ![IMG_1046](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/3/b/3bb4350219b6f6b83d59091b326856b009b2c299.jpeg) ---

> [@xileets](#): > > Costom_ized_ cards: They take the form of normal cards, but donā€™t actually exist as real cards. These are a grey area, IMO and Iā€™d say thereā€™s some IP theft going on here, but they can be really cool when done well. This is pretty much how I feel as well. I do really enjoy seeing peopleā€™s artistic ability and creativity, but I also wince while I wonder if they will be smashed by TPCiā€™s lawyers. I think custom cards are best on a small scale where they have more meaning to the people they are created for. Personally, I probably wonā€™t ever own any unless it came from someone I know or it was a gift. ---

Real custom cards representing artistsā€™ different styles really gets me, these ones made by erosart on ig are really my top pick ![IMG_20211024_211020_692](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/e/7/e7daff033743419b319a96dec23a8ee03f2f0e9e.jpeg) The left one being not ditto but betobebi, grimerā€™s scrapped baby form ---

Pretty much anything that profits off of stolen IP I dislike. Itā€™s like when you see people selling prints or playmats with art from Pokemon Center campaigns on. Iā€™ve had some playmats made from postcards that Iā€™ve scanned, but I would never sell them. ---

I actually like custom card. People can show their creativity and come up with great art that TCPi would not otherwise approve. I also like some proxies, for example the gameboy eevolutions that were officially released only digitally. ---

Is there any ā€œrealā€ guide about how to print custom cards like sinista or proxymon\_de do? It seems that any guide or video around there is just for ā€œfoil MTG styleā€ cards, not cards that try to mymic pokemon TCG as these two artists do. I would like to know this because at some point I want to have a commissioned collection for me printed in close-to-real cards, but it is a nightmare. ---

Its difficult to start, takes a fair amount of trial and error, and people are tweaking it all the time. Thereā€™s apparently some information shared on r/customtradingcard. I havent looked into it myself but several others have said it was very helpful to their process. [Previous page](https://www.elitefourum.com/t/opinion-custom-pokemon-cards/46063.md?page=1)
