I'm really happy to see them opening the contest to even more countries again. Giving more chances for fans in more parts of the world to fulfill their dream of illustrating an official card is always good. The Pokémon selection and theme are really interesting, too. I can't wait to see all of...

Congrats on 20 years, WPM! PokéBeach has had such a positive impact on my life, and it's been an honor to have been able to contribute to it. Even though I can't be as active as I'd like now I still visit the home page almost daily for news. Thank you to WPM and everyone who has aided in the...

As usual, Sugimori's art is beautiful. I was wondering how he'd go about shading the large gem on its head since it looked so complex in the 3D model, so seeing he actually shaded it with all of the little reflections and shapes is really interesting. I can't wait to have a clear / high...

MtheW, I basically just have versions of avatars that staff members used at one point or another because I had to make them a special version to avoid breaking the rule about staff and regular members being unable to share the same avatar. They're basically just the same thing, just flipped...

RE: PokéBeach Create-A-Card December 2013! Here's my entry.

RE: PokéBeach Create-A-Card December 2013! For what will probably be my last contest entry for quite some time; image-based, please.

Ice Jackal, Yeah, will do. :)

Ice Jackal, I can make more than just Pokemon art, but I actually don't take requests because my art schedule is so packed already. :(

Congratulations to the winners! :D On my score: I knew fonts/placement were going to kill me, but even so I did better than I expected. In the future I've really got to get a better program for applying fonts - the one I use right now is terrible. Things like "width" aren't even an option, and...

The artwork for Xerneas looks nice, but without seeing a clearer image I'm not sure if I like it more than the other EX's artwork. They seem pretty determined to have all eight antlers sticking out of the artwork box, though. Takes up a lot of room that way. In Yveltal's case, I like the other...

I had a feeling they'd go the "text becomes Japanese" route when I saw the Japanese cards had the attacks in English. Still not a fan of the choice to plaster it over the artwork, and I agree with everydayspark's post. Ugly Megas aside, the other cards look great. It's too bad the images are...

RE: Shiny Pokémon in X / Y: Less Rare & More Special I've seen the images before (it was a few weeks ago I believe), and so far they're the only images that suggest Yveltal/Xerneas have a chance of being shiny as well. (Excluding that very Photoshopped-looking red Xerneas image.) However, with...

RE: Avatars and Art v.2. Read the rules. Sylveon, Blaziken, Aggron, Flygon, Absol added. Still haven't had much time to update the thread, but as usual I've still been working on artwork. Although I don't have time to add all of my latest artwork to the thread, I made some avatars from my...

RE: Zygarde: Zygarde Love that Zygarde - the way each attack features a type from either Xerneas or Yveltal is a nice touch (and the effects of the attacks are very creative). The artwork choice is great, too. :D

RE: PokéBeach Create-A-Card November 2013! Here's my entry - it makes the whole "throw down the gauntlet" phrase I used earlier make a bit more sense. ;0

RE: PokéBeach Create-A-Card November 2013! I see there are open spots in image-based and would like to throw down the guantlet, if possible. I don't get an opportunity to make fake cards often, but I've got an idea and would like to try it out. Image based, please.

RE: Neo Redux: Welcome to Kalos. UPDATE: Question for you guys... I'll definitely try to come up with artwork for you if I get the time. :0 I've got some ideas for Zygarde art if I ever get around to it...

RE: Neo Redux: Welcome to Kalos. UPDATE: Question for you guys... I agree with Keeper of Night - one or the other would be best in my opinion. Having both just sounds like it'd be annoying to use. :0 @The cards - As always, truly awesome. I don't get to comment often but I'm always watching...

I agree with those who dislike the attack name being in the artwork. That's gotta be one of the strangest decisions made for the artwork. It doesn't make the card look any better and if it becomes a recurring theme and ends up on a Mega with a terrible attack, it would be like adding insult to...

It's cool to see they'll still be doing these kinds of things for X/Y. From a casual collector's standpoint it's a really good way to get ahold of some nice things all in one package. I wasn't able to get many of the past figurine+cards combos but maybe I'll be able to get one (or both) of these.
