Just looked through this thread and I must say you have talent, I like to think many people would love to see these arts in real cards.
Steelix looks really intimidating but my favourite so far is Aron, is it safe to say you got inspiration from Obsidian Flames Cleffa AR? Shooting star on the background and colour world match too well. 
Thank you so much! They may be able to do that later…
I did get some inspo from OBF Cleffa, I adore that card and the colors and the shooting star. Had to incorporate some of that into the Aron art!

Your art here is absolutely gorgeous! I also love the storytelling throughout, and can’t wait to see your future updates
Some local natives have reported lost items, trainers’ pokemon getting lost here and then returning looking different, and a faint humming noise that can be heard at certain times of day and night. No one has been courageous enough to go explore the deep parts of the desert to figure out the source of these phenomena. Until now…
@cyberurchin I finally took the time to go though the art and story. Your progress in your art is fantastic from just a little while ago. The desert theme certainly fits your style well and I am loving the story and intrigue. My favorites so far is Aron going on a journey and trusting its heart. The piece is wonderful the saturation and mood. I see the eagerness in its eye. Really great story telling and illustration. Wonderful project!
Thanks so much! Means a lot for others to go through and analyze my art and story and see my progress! I’ve always loved ex Sandstorm and I wanted to do my own kind of twist on it. We are severely lacking in desert themed sets 
Little Aron’s got a big heart!
Our friend Cyndaquil here is pooped! Even fire types need to rest in the heat, especially when water is so scarce. It seems the western part of the desert here used to be a lake but has since turned into a salt flat. As much as it makes for a stunning vista, it can be very dangerous to cross if you aren’t well equipped. Rooting for you Cyndaquil!
But for now?

Wow, this is really beautiful. The lore behind it is very poignant and the POV of this artwork is really stunning. One of my favorites in the set for sure. Thank you so much for sharing. Really well done.
Cheers!
thank you! I absolutely love salt flat photography, the contrast, the purity, the reflections. Feels otherworldly. Had to have one in this desert i’ve constructed. It’s one of my favorites of the set so far as well.
Slowpoke has been relaxing in the shade of the palms on an island in the oasis for a while now, without a care in the world. Here we get our first look at the oasis! Although we only see a sliver of it, the oasis itself is quite vast. Ironic that one of the slowest Pokemon made it here first.

Really nice updates. I like the subtle changes in the weather which changes the overall colour temp of the artwork. Slowpoke is the ultimate spirit animal. Thanks for sharing the new stuff. Brilliant as always.
Cheers!
Love the low poly art for porygon, fits him so well. Shading is maginificent too!
Thanks! It’s a mix of 2D and 3D, I used sketchup and procreate to make it. My first time using 3D software!
You have me fully invested! Love it how you take time to use multiple different art styles and make it really feel like an actual set, especially like the careless lines of chikorita art. I’m quite sure there will be fast and furious clicks in this thread when people see there’s again an update

Slowpoke: Oh hey guys. What took you so long?
This is incredible! Not sure how I missed the initial posts but I am stoked to play catch up on this!
