@upccc – It’s ~~evaluation~~ question time! I recently stumbled across this [eldritch abomination](http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/3/39/Bandai_Ditto_card.jpg). I cannot imagine Ken Sugimori being particularly sound of mind when he illustrated this. This artwork is pretty terrible, in my opinion. I think it’s my least favourite artwork of the Pokémon TCG (In addition, it’s probably the creepiest on record…) Which card has your least favourite artwork? ---

Lol, I can’t believe Ken was the illustrator of that card! Creepiest Pokemon card I have seen. ---

This topic is a great idea! I actually like that illustration. It was difficult for me to find one that was ugly, but [this](http://i728.photobucket.com/albums/ww282/smpratte/0051.jpg?t=1348639050) card reminds me of [this](http://static.awkwardfamilyphotos.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/563_0_resize-2.jpg) picture. ---

That is interesting, similar to the charmander with the spike on its [back](http://pkmncards.com/wp-content/uploads/blaines-charmander-gym-challenge-60.jpg). ---

@preston – Your links malfunctioned, methinks. @darkrai – Wow. I’m speechless. Have they improved since this illustration, at least? > [@](#): > > Well the card was made when he was still going through his “experimental phase” like when Kakuna had arm-things 😛 > [@](#): > > That is interesting, similar to the charmander with the spike on its back. Intriguing observations. I also noticed that Cubone had a bit of a [face](http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/b/b0/Bandai_Cubone_card.jpg). ---

@darkrai – Yeah, I don’t like his artwork, either. ![](http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/4/49/OnixVendingS2.jpg) I’d be sad too, if I was drawn like that. ---

I have to agree with you on that, Frosty. I’m not a fan of the CGI cards… ---

I like the chansey one too! It’s simple and looks like a watercolor painting. But the moomoo milk card is the worst ever. ---

My goodness that Moo Moo Milk one is a card I always disliked. But after looking at it for such a long time now I have finally understood what’s going on in the picture. It’s a Sentret drinking milk from a deformed bottle. Wow, that’s unreal. ---

That Charmander looks wayyyyyy worse than the one Ash befriended in approx. episode 6 of the first season of Pokemon. Poor guy Edit: my memory is failing me, as if! Charmander made his appearance in episode 11 [Next page](https://www.elitefourum.com/t/worst-artwork/10929.md?page=2)
