Artist's commentary
Cramorant | Dive
I did my best, I have no regrets!
Although I didn't make it into the Top 300 for Pokemon Trading Card Game's Illustration Contest 2022, I'm incredibly proud of the work I did on my three submissions!
Behold, Cramorant!
"This hungry Pokémon swallows Arrokuda whole. Occasionally, it makes a mistake and tries to swallow a Pokémon other than its preferred prey."
I probably spent a good 5 hours on this all together, from sketch to linework to painting and shading. I hope the effort shows! See if you can spot all the hidden details!
I created this using an iPad, Apple Pencil, and Procreate.
As always, I'd love to hear what you think!
Disappointed as I am not to have made it into the top 300, I can say wholeheartedly that there are some incredible and deserving artists out there and I can't wait to see the finalists.

Here are my other two submissions:

Galarian Rapidash | Heal Pulse by ishmam
And one more thing: I want to give a special thank you to all of you—admirers of Pokemon and trainers alike—for making this all possible!
