black sheep of all trades

Ampharos, based on the TCG art by Saya Tsuruta.

This was an incredibly fun artstyle to try and recreate in 3D for the Pokédex collab by @poketcg-art, with some interesting rendering challenges and very educational processes :)

Probopass, based on the TCG art originally by Kinu Nishimura.

"It freely controls three small units called Mini-Noses using magnetic force."

For @poketcg-art 's Sinnoh redraw challenge, I picked this cool card art that inspired me to dive a bit deeper into writing custom shaders and program lightning VFX to roughly follow a desired path. Probopass, having much simpler geometry for 3D modelling than the previous Pokémon I did, also lent itself perfectly for some idle animation :)

Swablu, based on the TCG art by Jiro Sasumo.

Another 3D redraw for @poketcg-art's Pokédex collab! I immediately fell in love upon seeing the original card artwork for this, as Swablu is incredibly cute in it. This meant that my main goal was to make sure that it remained adorable in 3D, while taking a bunch of liberties in pretty much all other parts of the scene.

Magikarp used Splash... but nothing happened!

This fanart of the original Magikarp card art by Mitsuhiro Arita for @poketcg-art's Kanto Pokedex redraw event.

An Eevee card render for @poketcg-art’s redraw event, in which I was a bit more focused on the GPU definition of draw than actually redrawing the art. Render made in Godot, card artwork and graphics made in Photoshop.
