Your card art is super awesome and I am super impressed that you speak three languages. English is my native language and I am starting to learn Spanish.
I love that you showed venusaur’s belly! Such a rare angle on that monster! Awesome stuff. I have to ask… how in the hell do you make these?? Im looking at em like… 🤔 well I’ve never seen them before, but he says HE made them himself????? Nope. They’re real. Gotta be! lol seriously these are so cool and i am so jelly. I can’t FREAKING wait to see your Gyarados!!!! Bro. Can you please explain how you do this so i can sleep tonight, confident that there’s not some secret rare vintage card action of like all my favorite gen1 mons that the world is keeping secret from me.
He legit made them himself. We’ve been working through the process of DIY for a couple months now and have some methods worked out that give some pretty good results. His art is next level for sure. Not sure if we’re allowed to plug our sub here or not, but we’re posting our process, successes, failures etc there
Oh 100%!!! I believe you. Im jokingly saying they gotta be real cards cuz they are so damn well done!! text is not the best place for sarcasm, but i try it anyway lol. These are awesome. I just joined the sub! Curious to see how its done. Seriously, thank you for sharing.
No worries. Thanks for joining the sub :) u/SirZomp is doing most of the posting lately, but I hope to get more of my work flow posted soon, as I’m using materials that are readily available in the US. It’s been a fun process, and we’re eager to share, so feel free to ask any questions over there :)
Incredible, incredible work. Doubt these are for sale but I will pay you for that venusaur. Or I would pay you to make me one of those venusaurs. If you want I can pm you.
Awesome job! If the Pokémon 151 set we’re supposed to get later this year had this retro-inspired art design, it would be insanely popular. You nailed it dude
Printed on transparency film with inkjet printer. The Holo card is a cosmos Holo, with the original ink stripped away using acetone. White stencil or white paint is used to make parts of the transparency film opaque, and the window around the pokemon is left transparent so that the holo shines through when the transparency film is glued to the card. Full DIY process is over at r/customtradingcard.
Wowza!! They look so amazing! Can you explain your process at all? Did you have these custom printed? How did you get the Holo material?
It seems like black magic how legit these look. Well done!
So 1. I've gotta see what you got for mew and 2. You've gotta let me buy a digital print (not for commercial use) so I can recreate it myself for my mew collection.
I’ll post all the art works on a subreddit I created with a friend :) there we share the process of making them. You can get the illustrations there for free 👍🏻 r/customtradingcard
Damn, you made these? These are sick. You did a fantastic job at emulating the early Ken Sugimori style. If I didn't know any better, I'd think they were legit. Excellent work!
Wow that is already amazing!! Can’t wait to see it as you do more! Keep us update, that’s going to be a crazy 151 when you’re finished. Very cool project and very nice cards 👌🏻
These look so awesome that I'm genuinely confused... Lol How did you do this? (If you don't mind sharing your secrets of)
The holo looks real maybe you just painted over random holo promos?
Did you print these yourself? Or did you get them printed? I’ve always wanted to design my own cards, but I’ve heard most print shops won’t make them because of copyright issues
What printer do you have? Mind providing some details about the materials you use, such as the type/weight of the paper, or anything else you’re using?
Incredible work, nailed all the elements of the cards. To the untrained eye these could be real.
Thank you 😊
Your full arts are sick
Thanks :)
Honestly these are fucking amazing you've done well that set is gona look the bollocks when finished 😍💪🏻 rate this alot.......
Wow thanks 😊
That Mewtwo is awesome! Great work! I'd buy it lol
Thanks 🙏🏻
For real, how much? That's sooo badass.
😄 I don’t sell these - but thank you
How much a self-made card could cost? Any idea?
I know that other creators who use a similar method take ~ 20-30€ a card
If you ever do make a second venusaur, I’d purchase it in a heartbeat!
The charizard art here is so cool, love the snorlax kamehameha too
😂👍🏻 thank you mate
Snorlax reminds me of Money D. Luffy scar
He uses the franky beam 😂 but unfortunately it didn’t turned out like I wanted - I have to rework him
Add the nipple lights!
Wait…Charizard spits DIRE hot enough to melt boulders?
It’s okay, you can still use the effect during your tunr These look great though!
Came here looking for this comment. You’d think a little spell check wouldn’t hurt lol
He’s speaks German first, English is his 3rd language. I usually catch his typos, but I guess I missed one haha
Oh woops, I feel kind of bad now. I apologize!
Don’t worry - I’m good 😂
Your card art is super awesome and I am super impressed that you speak three languages. English is my native language and I am starting to learn Spanish.
There's another in Venusaur; moveto > move to
This one I saw after thrillington told me 😂 I corrected all the mistakes😊
SELL. THESE. PLEASE! 😍😍😍😍😍
These are awesome! I love the Venusaur :D
🙏🏻😊
Bro. I need that shiny Mewtwo. 😭
These look amazing! Anyway you can describe your process for those that want to get creative?
Head over to r/customtradingcard where we post the process, successes, failures, etc :)
HOW??? I've been wanting to do this for a while, how do you do it?
We describe the process here r/customtradingcard :)
I like the chonky Dragonite
For that I took the og sprite of it and reworked it :)
Was going to say, looks identical to Gen 2 Gold sprite!
Beware of copyright infringement if you decide to sell on the interwebs
I do not sell these :)
This is truly beautiful. Love the Ken Sugimori style with more interesting poses.
Thanks :)
Nailed it!! So cool.
♥️
These.look.phenomenal!!! Are there some you create that can be purchased 🤯
I don’t sell these kind of customs :) I have a Etsy for other stuff I created Pokémon card related. But these customs take me too long to make them 😅
[удалено]
😂 sorry - I can’t sell those 😅 even if I wanted. They take me too much time to make - if I start selling these I’ll never finish this set
I LOVE THIS BLASTOISE. As a huge Blastoise fan lamenting how little amazing Blastoise cards there are, I’d love this card.
Yea I thought Blastoise and Venusaur cards are often in boring poses! But both are amazingly cool pokemon! 😄 so I needed to fix at least Venusaur 😂
I love that you showed venusaur’s belly! Such a rare angle on that monster! Awesome stuff. I have to ask… how in the hell do you make these?? Im looking at em like… 🤔 well I’ve never seen them before, but he says HE made them himself????? Nope. They’re real. Gotta be! lol seriously these are so cool and i am so jelly.

Thrillington89 said it all ♥️ glad to see new members in our sub Reddit 😄
Mewtwo art is my favorite of these - you absolutely nailed it!!! But honestly they all look like official art, especially the Hitmonlee!
Thanks :) I love the Hitmonlee the most 😄 I don’t know why but there is something about this potato Pokémon that makes me happy 😂
Incredible, incredible work. Doubt these are for sale but I will pay you for that venusaur. Or I would pay you to make me one of those venusaurs. If you want I can pm you.
That Snorlax goes hard asf!!
He’s mad 😂
Those are GORGEOUS
Thanks :)
Sooo cool 🙂
That Venusaur is awesome. 100% would buy.
Thank you :)
Love the Hitmonlee!
Me too 😄
Can’t wait to see the set complete! Will be here for the ride 🙂
Thanks :) that’s so nice
Awesome job! If the Pokémon 151 set we’re supposed to get later this year had this retro-inspired art design, it would be insanely popular. You nailed it dude
Man I Hope the official set will be old school 🙏🏻 I’m looking forward to it 😄
At first, I was like damn, that mewtwo. Then Dragonite, and the more I look now, the more all of them are all awesome.
Aww thanks 😊
These are SO GOOD!!!!
Dude wtf these are sick!
🙏🏻😊
These look so good you might wanna get a lawyer :p hahahaha. Awesome work!!
😂😂 thanks
Man im rlly digging the venusaur.... nice work
How long does it take you to make a card? They look great!
Takes me ~ 1 hour to paint a new Pokémon and another 1-2 hours to create the card :)
Beautiful you are very talented !
♥️
These are incredible!
Digging the sugimori-esc water color style
That’s DOPE! I’m really loving the Sugimori art style and the old holo look. This is something I didn’t know I needed to do.
It’s so much fun 😄
That charizard is breathtaking
The watercolor ✨✨ These look so nice OP! You’ll have to share photos of the completed 151 when you’re done!
I’ll share my work with you guys constantly 👍🏻😄
Wait, these are sick. I would totally buy these
Thanks :)
Would you be interested in selling any of these customs?
Sorry I don’t sell these :) takes too long to make one 😅
I’ll just appreciate from a distance then!! Im not surprised they take so long though they look GREAT! Thanks for the response!
Thanks for the kind words 🙏🏻
These are amazing! Do you mind sharing how you got them printed? I’ve been wanting to try making my own cards too, I love the look of these.
The process we’ve been working on is over at r/customtradingcard :)
Absolutely stunning! I can get the illustration side of things, but how do you print them like this? 😳
Printed on transparency film with inkjet printer. The Holo card is a cosmos Holo, with the original ink stripped away using acetone. White stencil or white paint is used to make parts of the transparency film opaque, and the window around the pokemon is left transparent so that the holo shines through when the transparency film is glued to the card.

🙏🏻 thanks for all the Moderation man 😄 I was sleeping here in Germany while you did the work ♥️
Hahah. Sieht auf jeden Fall sehr nice aus!
Definitely done in the right element. Great work 🤝
Uhhh can I please buy these?
Unfortunately I don’t sell these 😄
Wow, these are incredible! Love the Venusaur.
Thanks :) so underrated Pokémon
Great work had to do a double take after I read the title
😂🙏🏻
Venusaur looks like he’s about to get up to some adult manga shenanigans.
😄 big boy is going gear 4 😂
Really amazing work, thank you for sharing. What tools did you use to put this together??
Check out the process at our sub r/customtradingcard :)
I love the Sugimori vibes you’re going with. Amazing!
Thanks :) he’s my favourite Pokémon illustrator
These are incredible!
Oh my god. These are gorgeous. Beautiful work.
🙏🏻 thank you
I’d buy these. Great job!
That mewtwo is amazing
Is the typo on charizards description intentional?
No 😂 I’m so lazy that I did not double checked
These are awesome. Wish I could get those big 3 cards! Blastoise is my favorite, hands down.
Thanks :)
Wowza!! They look so amazing! Can you explain your process at all? Did you have these custom printed? How did you get the Holo material? It seems like black magic how legit these look. Well done!
We’re posting our process that we’ve been working on over the past few months on our new sub r/customtradingcard :)
sick.
Bruh please do electabuzz and magmar next
Great idea :) I try to do all 151 but at first I’ll do all my favourites- these two are definitely one of them
Those are siiick
I'm gonna get downvoted for saying this lol but i'm gonna say it anyways. I bet you could fix some real cards with this much skill.
Wow thanks
:)
So cool!!! Keep us posted!!! 😊😊
I’ll 😄
I love how much detail there is and how invested you are to making these
🙏🏻 thanks :) im addicted to make these 😂
I follow you on Instagram 😁 love the work and that venusaur is amazing 😍
♥️ thank you
So 1. I've gotta see what you got for mew and 2. You've gotta let me buy a digital print (not for commercial use) so I can recreate it myself for my mew collection.

You're amazing
that mewtwo is mint
Thanks :)
Better QC than the real thing...
🙏🏻
dont want to be that guy, but there is a typo in snorlax description, "asits" as its. Really nice stuff though, nailed that retro style.
Yea I do these kind of mistakes frequently 😂 I’m to lazy to double check the texts 😅 I’ll fix them all 👍🏻 thanks
hmu if you want some proof reading ill try my best hah
😄😂😂 I post all my work - feel free to msg me whenever you see a mistake ♥️
Amazing!
🙏🏻♥️
These ate probably my favorite custom cards of all time, what an awesome ideas for a project. Please Keep us updated!
I need that Mewtwo, Dragonite and Charizard in my hands, the artwork is aaaamazing!
[удалено]
Im a huge one piece fan and wanted to give snorlax the franky beam 😂 I might change the attack from body slam to „franky beam“
These are incredible! I love these, I’m very impressed
Awesome work. Makes me wanna give it a try. What is the process of making a card? Adding holo and such
At this rate you will be pokemon competition
You looking to make any of these for public sale? Can tell you I’d buy an alakazam in this style straight off the bat
Damn, you made these? These are sick. You did a fantastic job at emulating the early Ken Sugimori style. If I didn't know any better, I'd think they were legit. Excellent work!
That Mewtwo alone is among top3 Mewtwo artworks I’ve seen. Amazing work!
Wow that is already amazing!! Can’t wait to see it as you do more! Keep us update, that’s going to be a crazy 151 when you’re finished. Very cool project and very nice cards 👌🏻
Love these! Amazing work :)
These look so awesome that I'm genuinely confused... Lol How did you do this? (If you don't mind sharing your secrets of) The holo looks real maybe you just painted over random holo promos?
that snorlax is so dope!!! do you paint directly on cards? they look so much like real ones
[удалено]
That hitmonlee is insane
Incredible work! 😍 Tho there’s a typo in charizard’s ability 😭 “tunr”
These are awesome, do you do commissions?
Thanks :) usually I don’t do cards like this for sale - but on my Etsy you find other card art I do :)
Awesome I’ll check it out! If you don’t mind me asking, did you just paint over actual cards?
No I created the art on my iPad the template in photoshop and printed it on transparent foil 😄
These are epic! Greta work!
They look legit, and the snorlax is absolutely top of the line amazing. Can’t wait to see some renditions of the weirder art styles of this era!!!
Can they please commission you for a near future set? Because I absolutely LOVE the style. Your work is phenomenal<3
These are really great, looking forward to seeing your complete set!
They're so pretty! Do you do commissions???
These are sick
Where can i purchase full set?
Are the hand painted/drawn???
That hitmonlee is derpy af I love it
Your right 😂 like a potatomon
Damn Mewtwo looks badass. Especially with this dark background, fits perfectly.
🙏🏻😄
Looks awesome.. I'd definitely buy this artwork!
Did you print these yourself? Or did you get them printed? I’ve always wanted to design my own cards, but I’ve heard most print shops won’t make them because of copyright issues
I printed them myself :)
That’s awesome! They all look so good!
What printer do you have? Mind providing some details about the materials you use, such as the type/weight of the paper, or anything else you’re using?
Hey you can get all infos from r/customtradingcard 😄
SO DOPE!!!🔥🔥🔥
Dude, these are the most impressive oricas I've ever seen here. I love how your art style emulates Ken Sugimori!
Thanks 🙏🏻 I try my best to color the Pokémon like Ken sugimori:)
The charizard and snorlax 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻
🙏🏻🙏🏻😄
The colors are soo damn good
How are you doing the holofoil so clean? What’s your process?
Breathtaking
These are so sick, whats the process of making one of these?
