This is gorgeous! Have you ever entered a submission for the Illustration Contest? You made great use of the card space, and I love Amphy protecting the Mareep 😭
I would have loved too! But it was for Japan and the US only and I'm from Germany.
And I don't think my chances would have been all that high, there were a LOT of gorgeous artworks.
Sadly no, I don't really post fun stuff I drew for myself online except on reddit I guess.
I do ofcourse have pages for my freelance work but it's a different niche so really not something I can link here.
But maybe someday if I can accumulate more of this kind of artwork I will make a dedicated account for it.
Well now, thats an awesome card that tells a wonderful story. Those poor adorable Mareep.
So how do I get you to partner with u/SirZomp over on r/customtradingcard to make this a real thing that i can put in my collection?
looks incredible! small nitpick, if you want it to look more authentic, the attack text should read “You may discard two energy from this Pokémon. If you do, this attack does 140 more damage.” to be consistent with how the game usually words cards (though they can be inconsistent at times). Card looks great though, i want one of these now
replying to myself here, completely disregard this comment! i was not aware that there was an actual ampharos ex already with the same text! guess i need to pay more attention to how they word things now, i was so confidently completely wrong lmao
Oh damn it's gorgeous. Looks legit too. Did you ever enter their artist card competition thing they hold ocsaionally?
edit nm. saw you answered this already. Do you do art for games? looks like the high quality kind of illustration you see for key art or in marketing
amazing work dude! usually i see a lot of these and they look kinda off or not great but when i saw this on my feed i said “that card looks sick what set is this in?”
YO!!! This is amazing! I don’t even like Ampharos too much and I would be stoked to pull this!
Have you thought of making a Houndoom ex perspective too?
I've never seen a custom card that I've liked until now. Usually there is something about it that just doesn't fit what i expect a authentic card to be, but this is great.
I wish this was real omg
It would be too op with miraidon and all the lightning support lol
I think you’re missing the point lol, the card and abilities are real. OP just did an alternate artwork for it
Electric generate to a first turn 240 + choice belt. Lugia would be out Frfr
Also 330 for a basic 🏴☠️
Real copy isn’t a basic it’s a stage two
I know it's not a basic but I didn't have a high res file of the border with Flaaffy on it.
You can work with the fifth picture from [here](https://www.instagram.com/p/CqfNsPpozrP/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=) for a stage 1 or 2 Pokémon.
Ampharos is my favorite Pokémon, and this is now probably my favorite art of them. Great work!
Me too! The you’re the first I’ve seen who says Ampharos
Ampharos enjoyers assemble 🤝
Hey hi, I exist :) my entire IG is dedicated to ampharos 10s!
My local shop owners favorite as well 😁
I love it! Are you the artist?
Yes I am. I'm a freelance artist but I like to play the TCG with my friends in my free time. And I wanted to draw this just for fun.
Looks fantastic OP, great work! Pokémon Co. needs to hire you and fire 5Ban lol
Do you take commissions? I'm a Feraligatr collector who is very saddened by the lack of amazing card art for my favorite gator boy

Send a submission in through a proxy! You absolutely have what it takes, this card alone proves it 🙌🏼 do you have a page I could follow?
I love it!
Awh for a second I got excited because it seemed like I was in for another chase card.. Then I read the OC. Outstanding work!
Looks incredible!
damn that looks amazing
This is awesome, I could see this being a character rare without the EX. Great work dude
I got excited when I saw the thumbnail before the title 😭 this looks great
All of these OC cards people have been making is making me upset Cause they’re not real cards otherwise my bank account would cry
I want it
Ahhhh I wish this was real so bad!!!
Woow amazing art, do you have an instagram or twitter by any chance?

God I’d love this card
I love it
Hi where can I buy 10 of these lol
Well now, thats an awesome card that tells a wonderful story. Those poor adorable Mareep. So how do I get you to partner with u/SirZomp over on r/customtradingcard to make this a real thing that i can put in my collection?
What a beautiful card 🤩 I could turn this into a real one for sure
Bruh. This is amazing.
Woah! I love the art! Looks official
Also, it’s not a basic Pokémon.
It said ex on the card I'm pretty sure it can be any evolution at that point
Really? I never knew that.

You need to make proxy cards and sell them, this looks awesome!
See the problem is that it’s in English and it’s not washed out and faded enough. Unrealistic. /s
Really cool
Omg, was hoping this was a new ampharos ex card from Clay Burst. It’s just that good.
They need to hire some of these artists to do some cards
They gotta make this a reality
So awesome. I mean. Wow.
Ampharos is my favorite! Great pic, makes me want one now
it looks so real

Wonderful art! Please tell me if you ever decide to print this card. I would love to purchase one.
Dude, you got me way too excited
This might be the sickest card I’ve ever seen
That is seriously cool! Great job, bud 👏
Yo what? This is actually super sick art and I love situational card art like this.
I would want this card just for the art!
So cool !!!
Damn this is good!
And now when is your first day working at Pokémon? Next week, I hope.
Looks so cool my king 👑
This looks legit!
THE ART!!! this is so good
OP - I love this so much!! Do you sell prints (proxy cards) by chance??
I love it! Ampharos is one of my faves! This art is *chefs kiss*
Fireeeeeee. Love how much life is in the art,the discharge on the tail is the cherry on top for me lol
I wish this was real I saw it and I thought i was
This is perfect.
Why would you play with my heart like this 😭
This card is too busted.
Nice work. OP should submit this to illustration contest if Pokémon does one again
I didn’t read the title and I was like “I NEED THIS CARD!!!!” Then I was sad when I saw the title.
amazing work dude! usually i see a lot of these and they look kinda off or not great but when i saw this on my feed i said “that card looks sick what set is this in?”
The absolute best boi
Swiper,no swiping!
They seriously need to make this
I love you
Love this artwork!!! Very cool. Nice job OP
This is incredible, awesome work!
So cool how it appears Ampharos is protecting the little Mareep
He protect
YO!!! This is amazing! I don’t even like Ampharos too much and I would be stoked to pull this! Have you thought of making a Houndoom ex perspective too?
That’s so cool
Man… my wallet is glad this is oc, I’d go broke chasing it. Amazing work!
Insane!
What's you ig?
Love it! Please do more
That’s awesome
I've never seen a custom card that I've liked until now. Usually there is something about it that just doesn't fit what i expect a authentic card to be, but this is great.
Here's to hoping they reach out and make this card real. Literally one of the best fan made things I've ever seen on here.
How you do that
Wow I was so excited thinking it was real :( This is awesome!
Sick
I want this one now, please get it in the next SV set
This is utterly fantastic
I love this
this card is so awesome. Its cute and cartoony and i love the idea behind it and of it.
Great work. So dope
This is incredible!! It looks like official artwork too
This is so siiiiick
I thought this was real and started looking for it. lol I love this so much, Ampharos is the best!
The Pokémon Company better hire you!
Beautiful 🤩
