Wow! Did you do it?

No, just something i found on a Meme Board. Unluckily no Source who made it.

If you’re curious/intersted, search “custom resin spacebar” on etsy. YOu’ll find 'em.

My favorite Gen 6 legendary, the Miðgarðsormr. Not a fan of the Doberman forme but the Negishi art is 10/10.

Wasn’t really sure where to post this but wanted to share this sun-faded beauty that I was still up in the window of an abandoned comic book store I walked past on my evening walk tonight.

Hataya’s style is very reminiscent of Moebius (aka Jean Giraud). Some examples of his work:

Pet peeve number T-1000: the tale of the unfinished Metagross line from Delta and by extension, unfinished lines everywhere.

Don’t get me wrong, the Fukuda Metagross is decent, but even for Lord Kusajima this Metang Beldum combo is ridiculously good and they deserve an equally good Metagross from the same visionary:

Agreed, but at least we have a Kusajima Metagross at all, even if it doesn’t quite fit the Delta Species theme of the other two.

It should be legally forbidden to make two stages of a three-stage evolution line by one artist and then change them for the last stage

Edit: looks like koala beat me to it.

@martin , she did watercolor for those particular works. She used a special textured stock canvas paper, high quality. It’s nearly impossible to tell exactly which, as there are hundreds of kinds of paper, but with practice and using rough textured canvas paper, you can get a similar look. But that look is created by a certain delicate stroke and spread (god is she a master) and consistency over this canvas paper. She varied the dilution to accommodate lighting or lens/subject flare and such. And she didn’t rely on a lot of water for spill. She created just the right mix on a fine hair brush and did her magic. That’s the thing about great artists… they create their own technique

Thanks for the info, Brendan! Super helpful. I did not realize that the canvas itself makes such a huge difference in the texture but now when I think about it, it makes complete sense

It is worth noting that these effects can largely be replicated with digital painting effects. Digital was less popular as a medium in the 90’s and early 2000s but I know that Arita was already using it back then (I asked him about this on a livestream once, he says all of his TCG illustrations have been digital - he draws with pencil first then colors/finishes digitally) and some of Arita’s grainier textures that appear to be done on rough paper are actually digital. I had always assumed they were colored pencil or pastel.

I honestly would not be surprised if Himeno did those cards you mentioned digitally. Too my eyes it looks like it was digital to imitate pencil or pastel on rough-grained paper, which explains why there are more white “dots”/gaps in the paper. I feel like a true watercolor would also have more splotchiness and water “bleeding”. Or it was non-digital pencil/pastel, but I don’t think it’s watercolor.

Below is the Arita Cubone, which was done digitally. You can see the graininess throughout that appear to be done on physical media, but was actually digital.
