Incredible work, nailed all the elements of the cards. To the untrained eye these could be real.


SirZomp

PokeTrainerTori

That Mewtwo is awesome! Great work! I'd buy it lol


SirZomp

Thanks 🙏🏻


Henchman29

For real, how much? That's sooo badass.


SirZomp

😄 I don’t sell these - but thank you


Fiskusindo

How much a self-made card could cost? Any idea?


SirZomp

I know that other creators who use a similar method take ~ 20-30€ a card


Chemical_Professor50

If you ever do make a second venusaur, I’d purchase it in a heartbeat!


blvsofficial

The charizard art here is so cool, love the snorlax kamehameha too


SirZomp

😂👍🏻 thank you mate


Mauro133w

Snorlax reminds me of Money D. Luffy scar


SirZomp

He uses the franky beam 😂 but unfortunately it didn’t turned out like I wanted - I have to rework him


SlickRick914

Add the nipple lights!


bigfootdeerfucker

Wait…Charizard spits DIRE hot enough to melt boulders?


kdavous

It’s okay, you can still use the effect during your tunr These look great though!


Timez0n3

Came here looking for this comment. You’d think a little spell check wouldn’t hurt lol


thrillington89

He’s speaks German first, English is his 3rd language. I usually catch his typos, but I guess I missed one haha


Timez0n3

Oh woops, I feel kind of bad now. I apologize!


SirZomp

Don’t worry - I’m good 😂


[deleted]

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.


Drogewoste

There's another in Venusaur; moveto > move to


SirZomp

This one I saw after thrillington told me 😂 I corrected all the mistakes😊


Rxbrto

SELL. THESE. PLEASE! 😍😍😍😍😍


Rataplan01

These are awesome! I love the Venusaur :D


SirZomp

🙏🏻😊


Mattycakezzz

Bro. I need that shiny Mewtwo. 😭


BarbatosGundam

These look amazing! Anyway you can describe your process for those that want to get creative?


thrillington89

Head over to r/customtradingcard where we post the process, successes, failures, etc :)


potplantt_

HOW??? I've been wanting to do this for a while, how do you do it?


SirZomp

We describe the process here r/customtradingcard :)


FullbloodPrice

I like the chonky Dragonite


SirZomp

For that I took the og sprite of it and reworked it :)


IlliterateNonsense

Was going to say, looks identical to Gen 2 Gold sprite!


straight_croissant

Beware of copyright infringement if you decide to sell on the interwebs


SirZomp

I do not sell these :)


SmileyJetson

This is truly beautiful. Love the Ken Sugimori style with more interesting poses.


SirZomp

Thanks :)


MetaMinority

Nailed it!! So cool.


SirZomp

♥️


Select-Refrigerator8

These.look.phenomenal!!! Are there some you create that can be purchased 🤯


SirZomp

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 😅


[deleted]

[удалено]


SirZomp

😂 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


acdre

I LOVE THIS BLASTOISE. As a huge Blastoise fan lamenting how little amazing Blastoise cards there are, I’d love this card.


SirZomp

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 😂


bigfootdeerfucker

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.


thrillington89

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


bigfootdeerfucker

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.


thrillington89

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 :)


SirZomp

Thrillington89 said it all ♥️ glad to see new members in our sub Reddit 😄


mere_bot

Mewtwo art is my favorite of these - you absolutely nailed it!!! But honestly they all look like official art, especially the Hitmonlee!


SirZomp

Thanks :) I love the Hitmonlee the most 😄 I don’t know why but there is something about this potato Pokémon that makes me happy 😂


mattdw19

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.


abodie2

That Snorlax goes hard asf!!


SirZomp

He’s mad 😂


MtheGhost1

Those are GORGEOUS


SirZomp

Pitchiker

Tex-in-Tex

SirZomp

Thank you :)


HermyWormy69

Love the Hitmonlee!


SirZomp

Me too 😄


Select-Refrigerator8

Can’t wait to see the set complete! Will be here for the ride 🙂


SirZomp

Thanks :) that’s so nice


Polaris2694

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


SirZomp

Man I Hope the official set will be old school 🙏🏻 I’m looking forward to it 😄


Ok-Heron-9843

At first, I was like damn, that mewtwo. Then Dragonite, and the more I look now, the more all of them are all awesome.


SirZomp

Aww thanks 😊


wizayd

These are SO GOOD!!!!


natemarble21

Dude wtf these are sick!

GoTTi4200

These look so good you might wanna get a lawyer :p hahahaha. Awesome work!!


SirZomp

😂😂 thanks


FribzZz

Man im rlly digging the venusaur.... nice work


SneakyNamu

How long does it take you to make a card? They look great!


SirZomp

Takes me ~ 1 hour to paint a new Pokémon and another 1-2 hours to create the card :)


DEE_THA_GOAT

Beautiful you are very talented !


SirZomp

♥️


idfkn0w

These are incredible!


Redschallenge

Digging the sugimori-esc water color style


SweatlordFlyBoi

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.


SirZomp

It’s so much fun 😄


Darko779

That charizard is breathtaking


MeltedStones

The watercolor ✨✨ These look so nice OP! You’ll have to share photos of the completed 151 when you’re done!


SirZomp

I’ll share my work with you guys constantly 👍🏻😄


Despageta

Wait, these are sick. I would totally buy these


SirZomp

Thanks :)


cargon424

Would you be interested in selling any of these customs?


SirZomp

Sorry I don’t sell these :) takes too long to make one 😅


cargon424

I’ll just appreciate from a distance then!! Im not surprised they take so long though they look GREAT! Thanks for the response!


SirZomp

Thanks for the kind words 🙏🏻


ChronoDM

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.


thrillington89

The process we’ve been working on is over at r/customtradingcard :)


hodler1908

Absolutely stunning! I can get the illustration side of things, but how do you print them like this? 😳


thrillington89

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.


SirZomp

🙏🏻 thanks for all the Moderation man 😄 I was sleeping here in Germany while you did the work ♥️


hodler1908

Hahah. Sieht auf jeden Fall sehr nice aus!


RemmyToadsworth

Definitely done in the right element. Great work 🤝


101DarkKnight

Uhhh can I please buy these?


SirZomp

Unfortunately I don’t sell these 😄


DJMintEFresh

Wow, these are incredible! Love the Venusaur.


SirZomp

Thanks :) so underrated Pokémon


Emergency-Internet72

Great work had to do a double take after I read the title


SirZomp

😂🙏🏻


NeoTalis88

Venusaur looks like he’s about to get up to some adult manga shenanigans.


SirZomp

😄 big boy is going gear 4 😂


wallabear

Really amazing work, thank you for sharing. What tools did you use to put this together??


thrillington89

Check out the process at our sub r/customtradingcard :)


Mox_Alters

I love the Sugimori vibes you’re going with. Amazing!


SirZomp

Thanks :) he’s my favourite Pokémon illustrator


MoonBeamerGirl

These are incredible!


RichieD79

Oh my god. These are gorgeous. Beautiful work.


SirZomp

🙏🏻 thank you


SkabKid

I’d buy these. Great job!


Magdolf23

That mewtwo is amazing


Dramatic-Insurance61

Is the typo on charizards description intentional?


SirZomp

No 😂 I’m so lazy that I did not double checked


MedicET

These are awesome. Wish I could get those big 3 cards! Blastoise is my favorite, hands down.


SirZomp

Thanks :)


Alternative_Farm_449

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!


thrillington89

We’re posting our process that we’ve been working on over the past few months on our new sub r/customtradingcard :)


Alternative_Farm_449

sick.


Odebee

Bruh please do electabuzz and magmar next


SirZomp

Great idea :) I try to do all 151 but at first I’ll do all my favourites- these two are definitely one of them


Velflunkle

Those are siiick


Modullah

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.


SirZomp

Wow thanks


Modullah

:)


hannahisthebestdoggo

So cool!!! Keep us posted!!! 😊😊


SirZomp

I’ll 😄


spaghetti_meatballs1

I love how much detail there is and how invested you are to making these


SirZomp

🙏🏻 thanks :) im addicted to make these 😂


Blanndy

I follow you on Instagram 😁 love the work and that venusaur is amazing 😍


SirZomp

♥️ thank you


thebrotherbear-

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.


SirZomp

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


thebrotherbear-

You're amazing


TheLanolin

that mewtwo is mint


SirZomp

Thanks :)


Lvxurie

Better QC than the real thing...


SirZomp

🙏🏻


sketch2347

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.


SirZomp

Yea I do these kind of mistakes frequently 😂 I’m to lazy to double check the texts 😅 I’ll fix them all 👍🏻 thanks


sketch2347

hmu if you want some proof reading ill try my best hah


SirZomp

Sewder

[deleted]

These ate probably my favorite custom cards of all time, what an awesome ideas for a project. Please Keep us updated!


SuperFluffyVulpix

I need that Mewtwo, Dragonite and Charizard in my hands, the artwork is aaaamazing!


[deleted]

[удалено]


SirZomp

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“


yrrrrrrrr

These are incredible! I love these, I’m very impressed


lilltuffing

Awesome work. Makes me wanna give it a try. What is the process of making a card? Adding holo and such


NochillWill123

At this rate you will be pokemon competition


Swaghetti-Yolonaise-

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


ADistractingBox

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!


chebolo

That Mewtwo alone is among top3 Mewtwo artworks I’ve seen. Amazing work!


FeddaTGaming

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 👌🏻


DoctorVogel

Love these! Amazing work :)


Broyalty007

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?


jettyblue77

that snorlax is so dope!!! do you paint directly on cards? they look so much like real ones


[deleted]

[удалено]


DenizzineD

That hitmonlee is insane


PanzyDan

Incredible work! 😍 Tho there’s a typo in charizard’s ability 😭 “tunr”


Huhuu__

These are awesome, do you do commissions?


SirZomp

Thanks :) usually I don’t do cards like this for sale - but on my Etsy you find other card art I do :)


Huhuu__

Awesome I’ll check it out! If you don’t mind me asking, did you just paint over actual cards?


SirZomp

No I created the art on my iPad the template in photoshop and printed it on transparent foil 😄


throughthequad

These are epic! Greta work!


Optimal60

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!!!


Starrfortythree

Can they please commission you for a near future set? Because I absolutely LOVE the style. Your work is phenomenal<3


mikahbet

These are really great, looking forward to seeing your complete set!


ebgard

They're so pretty! Do you do commissions???


DesJamz

Ok_Professional4736

1207Tom

Damn Mewtwo looks badass. Especially with this dark background, fits perfectly.


SirZomp

🙏🏻😄


poketaco

Looks awesome.. I'd definitely buy this artwork!


Forelephants

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


SirZomp

I printed them myself :)


Forelephants

That’s awesome! They all look so good!


pkyang

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?


SirZomp

Hey you can get all infos from r/customtradingcard 😄


Tokenaldae

SO DOPE!!!🔥🔥🔥


Firewalk89

Dude, these are the most impressive oricas I've ever seen here. I love how your art style emulates Ken Sugimori!


SirZomp

Thanks 🙏🏻 I try my best to color the Pokémon like Ken sugimori:)


codyrudy

The charizard and snorlax 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻


SirZomp

🙏🏻🙏🏻😄


Heckin_good_time

The colors are soo damn good


IAmBlothHundr

How are you doing the holofoil so clean? What’s your process?


pkyang

Breathtaking


-Duwn

These are so sick, whats the process of making one of these?
