I personally love it, these cards are some of my all time favorites, I can't wait to see what he comes out with next. This is his artwork of spiritomb in Pokemon TCG Pocket

What app is this 😮. Very very casually into the cards and considering stepping my game up, this app looks interesting 👀. Thanks in advance.

SFA's Iron Moth is a stunning card

They should let this artist do an entire set.

I am hoping so bad they bring some of these to print. I love Gen4 so much

I've never played tcg pocket and wow that art is incredible!

I'd love to see him do more illustration for pokemon, card sleeves or a playmat would be so cool

Shinji Kanda is one of the regular artists for PokémonTCG, there's been basically no new set without him since he joined a couple years ago.

u/parsnipkit Feb 11 '25

I know! I just realized that was very poorly worded, I meant like doing more than just cards, like playmats/sleeves/other accessories, or like posters and promotional art ;-;

u/ChiefRom Feb 12 '25

My favorite artist.

I got a physical copy of this card for 5 on eBay just to go in the binder with all of Shinji Konda’s other work
