TCG Pokémon TCG Art & Illustrator Appreciation Thread

[Okido]

Here you may find a space to discuss all the beautiful and unique artwork the Trading Card Game has to offer. Any specific cards you're especially fond of, or particular TCG illustrators whose work you admire? Show your appreciation for them!

I'm personally a big fan of the colorful, expressive style of Tomokazu Komiya; the dark and dynamic look of Hikaru Koike's ex card art; and of course the lovely atmospheric quality of veteran illustrator Mitsuhiro Arita's work.

I have heard people speak ill of 5ban Graphics and CGI illustrators in general, but I am quite fond of 'em. 'Specially the item cards, for instance, Sweet Honey from Astral Radiance is a really good rendition.
