Aside from any comments on Prime 4’s structure or gameplay, the cinematics and lighting are stunning.

[Speculative Illustration Work]

I imagined what a Venipede card would look like if released during the 'Glory of Team Rocket' expansion!

The Team Rocket cards are among my favourites in the TCG, so I really wanted to capture the same moody, dramatic and dangerous atmosphere!

Mega Clefable is said to be able to use the power of moonlight to control gravity within a radius of 32 feet around it.

In this special illustration rare card, Mega Clefable flies through the moonlit skies of Lumiose city with a parade of Cleffa, Clefairy and Clefable.

Fun fact! I actually drew these two once before, in 2014! This was created when Procreate had just released, and before the Apple Pencil was a thing. Drawn with my own stubby fingers!

It’s nice to stop and recognise my growth in the last 10 years.

This is card is based on a Doubles team I created back in X&Y in 2013!

After setting up Rain Dance, Ludicolo would speed up with Swift Swim, while Heliolisk would passively heal with Dry Skin. The rain gave Heliolisk 100% accurate Thunder hits, while Ludicolo’s Surf would sweep and heal further!

One more card created on the road to making this dream a reality. I’ll keep drawing them until it happens!

I’m a huge fan of the Tag Team cards from the Sun & Moon era, and picked up a nice little collection on my last trip to Japan.

I really wanted to give it a go!

Didn’t realise until near the end of my Z-A play-through that my final team included a pairing from one of my all time favourite cards!

This is what happens when you start encouraging people to have Pokémon battles on the rooftops.

This could have been prevented. A dark day for Lumiose City.

Thought I was hot shit because I jumped back into my 2017 Hollow Knight save and beat Grimm after a couple tries no warm up

then he hold me that was just a practice and to go away and do some stuff and come back and fight him even harder

Thanks for your time and I hope you had fun opening this pack of cards! ✨

Last but not least, the big hit of the pack, Zygarde EX!

I wanted to capture a kind of Princess Mononoke vibe here, like catching a glimpse of the Spirit of the Forest. If you look carefully, the silhouette of the light and reflection make a big ‘Z’!

I wanted to try creating art for an illustration rare, so I picked a basic Pokémon, Sandshrew, and depicted a scene described in one of its Pokédex entries.

It seems that as the set rarity of a Pokémon card increases, the detail of the illustration does too!

For this illustration I wanted to depict Feraligatr swimming gracefully through a marsh to challenge its ferocious reputation.

Actually, this was my submission for the Official Pokémon Illustration Contest 2024! I didn’t get through, but one of the final winners was similar!

Next up, Dottler!

Dottler is a classic mid-stage Bug Pokemon with a psychic twist. It’s shell reminds me of the big jungle gym cages that kids would climb on in play parks.

I wanted to show it perched within the neon lights of a cityscape.

One day I hope I'll be able to contribute art for the Pokémon Trading Card Game.

So, for a bit of fund I decided to illustrate my very own pack of cards!

For this uncommon-rarity card, I wanted to illustrate Sudowoodo in the cool breeze of a summer day.

Shhh don’t tell Nintendo but I’m loving this new secret game of theirs.

"BUG+" was my experimental first foray into comic book making! It's an expansion of an short comic I created during a drawing challenge back in 2020.

Follow two resilient bug robots as they navigate the gargantuan dangers of an apocalyptic world. Will they find home?

It's been 10 years since Mr.Iwata's passing.

Here's a short bit I wrote speaking about my art contribution to "The Impact of Iwata" by @lucasmthomas.bsky.social and some memories of that day.

Late for #portfolioday, but I have something to share!

In May I was delighted to be accepted into @super-meteor.bsky.social 's "My Famicase Exhibition 2025"!

If you have 10 minutes, I've created a page on my site talking about my experience and everything I put into it.
