Hi there. My internet handle is Lunumbra and I refurbish original Pokemon cards. I take old, damaged Pokemon game cards and alter them with acrylic paints to breathe new life into them. I have redone playing cards that people have had with them for nearly two decades (the original cards came out in 1999) that were severely damaged with wrinkles or scratches. There are some Pokemon character cards that I have done to have a combined background that continues across all the cards (see examples below) so that the person and, on most occasions their significant other, can have two halves of the same card design. I've worked with clients who have had their groomsmen's favorite cards painted for gifts and parents who are handing down their old Pokemon monster cards to their children and request I make them a little more colorful.
Anyway, that's what I do. Each card takes about an hour or so, depending of course on the complexity. Most cards with these famous characters were donated to me or commissioned to be done or ordered specifically to be painted. They are all hand-done with acrylic paints on real cards and glossed afterward with a sealant. Thanks for reading.

It's incredible how amazing you are at matching the rest of it all up throughout the card and making it look like they were made to be there.
I adore both of those Dragonairs, and the Umbreon is so haunting! What's your commision price?
normally I would get upset at "defacing" a card like this... but in your case, I say screw the game, these are amazing
Wigglytuff's card is extra epic. Love the fantasy world you drew her.
These are fantastic! And as someone who basically only bought Pokemon cards for the art, I would buy these.
Like what? Put down randoms online for no good reason other than to try and make yourself feel big? Perhaps it is you who needs a new hobby.
