Share a photo in the comments if you can find it! Also, what do yuu like about the art? Do you run it in any of the decks/games you play?
This is mine for now. It’s Trapinch from the Pokemon tcg by Asako Ito. I don’t play, but there’s a stack of free singles that people leave in a box at a bg place I go to, ao I took one and keep it in my wallet as a good luck charm (and charm it does, look at rhe overaized head and cute knitted body! A single crooked thread for a mouth and a shining star iris completes the baby)
Also while I was browsing, I saw this sick Galarian Moltress by Shinji Kanda
One of my favorites is from an old 1995 TCG called “Heresy: Kingdom Come”, and the card is “Michael: Chief of Archangels”:
The art is by Brom, and here is better quality version of the art:
(This TCG was good for art as they were much taller than normal cards, about the size of tarot cards. This hurt them with players though since I card sleeves would fit them and made shuffling harder.)
While not all the art was great on the cards, the back image was great:
Wow that’s such a bold, characterful card! Never heard of the tcg, was it popular?
No, it was a flop unfortunately. It had low sales so an expansion for it got canceled.
They had some great artists to at the time too, with different art styles to. Some had a more comic art style to. But since it was from 1995, and low sales, finding the original card art can be hard at times.
As for the first image, it is Brom, who is a major artist, quite large in the 90s and still does work. He is a good page of Brom’s art. He also made what is probably the most famous Doom 2 art:
That’s a shame :(
The site with his art is an absolute treasure trove, I’m going through it now.
I like this cutie. Thanks for sharing!
