Lost Thunder ~ 075/214 ~ Midori Harada

This has always been one of my favorites. When I started buying cards again after not having done so since I was a kid, Lost Thunder was one of the current sets. I got this exact card pictured from one of the first packs I bought.

I love Midori Harada, she has a warm and cozy style similar to Aya Kasube's work. It's as soft as this mareep's wool. You can feel the textures through the image thanks to Harada's use of color to add subtle guidance to the curves of the bed, and mareep. I also love the choice of having the bed serve as the entire background. Mareep stands out well in this context; the darker blue and violet of the bed are complimentary to the yellows and lighter blues of mareep, and blend well. The lightest shades of this mareep, and their bed, are very similar as well, adding an extra bit of unity to the art.

Anyway,

This mareep is so comfy. it fills me with envy. I wish I could sleep that well. I may have insomnia, but at least I have Pokemon.
