I'm back with more Beta cards. What about this white bird-like Rayquaza? I've combined the leaked artwork and the sprite to make a shiny version. It likely inspired Altaria's design too, at some point

Indulged myself today. Based on the legendary jumbo card illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita! #pixelart #ドット絵

Three "Extra" cards, inspired by Extra Rules and spoof cards, featuring placeholder stuff, like Dragon4, Buhi, Papyo and Kabiin 👽

@MegaXstream Thanks a lot!

[ThP's Castle of Cards @thpcastleofcard]

Long time no see! Here are my bipedal Dark Ivysaur and the goofy Green sprite Dark Venusaur in the style of Ooyama. I had a lot of fun painting it!

@spudmayMCTCG I do all the art, yep! But not selling/printing them at the moment, sorry

[ThP's Castle of Cards @thpcastleofcard]

@spudmayMCTCG I really like it too!

@ultranativefric Thanks a lot! No plans for printing tho, sorry

Beta Ivysaur was the basis for both final Ivysaur and Venusaur. It was weird and grotesque, I actually like it quite a bit

@kyleculpart Ahah not printing them atm

Dark and Light Porygon 2. Since the first card I made for this betamon was illustrated when I could't use Blender yet, I wanted to make something new. I love the actual Porygon 2 we got, but this little lion is pretty cute nonetheless

Shining Slowpoke, with it's early shiny palette, it was a lot darker than today

Shining Skarmory, with its more vibrant green, its curved beak and two tails

I wanted to try voxel art, so I've made something really basic for a Alph's Ruins card

[ThP's Castle of Cards @thpcastleofcard]

And while we're here, some scrapped Pokemon I really like: Norowara and Kyonpan. I added a holo Dark version of the panda because I felt that a more vanilla art style was needed

Hey, I'm back! Here's my interpretation of two clearly unfinished sprites: a red mono-horn Dark Girafarig and the outline-Twinz-Wobbuffet thing. I know it's just a placeholder, but I wanted to pay tribute to its funny factor. I made it "Mysterious fossil" style.

@HiResPokemon What if the baby has this weird head shape?

[ThP's Castle of Cards @thpcastleofcard]

I used the famous magazine early design for a Light Tyranitar card
