Last but not least, the big hit of the pack, Zygarde EX!

I wanted to capture a kind of Princess Mononoke vibe here, like catching a glimpse of the Spirit of the Forest. If you look carefully, the silhouette of the light and reflection make a big ‘Z’!

Didn’t realise until near the end of my Z-A play-through that my final team included a pairing from one of my all time favourite cards!

This is what happens when you start encouraging people to have Pokémon battles on the rooftops.

This could have been prevented. A dark day for Lumiose City.

Indie comics ain't easy. Working very hard to make something as well as you possibly can that you know only a few people outside of yourself care about can be quite lonely, and often feels almost like a folly.

Please let indie creators know you enjoy their work, it really helps.

One day I hope I'll be able to contribute art for the Pokémon Trading Card Game.

So, for a bit of fund I decided to illustrate my very own pack of cards!

For this uncommon-rarity card, I wanted to illustrate Sudowoodo in the cool breeze of a summer day.

There are channels that just have people recording walks from places all over the world, its not fancy or exploring but its amazing to just get a idea of a space in a way photos cant do. The best channels go back different times of day and weather as well to the same spaces.

It was an absolute joy to speak to Hip Tanaka, one of my heroes, at BitSummit last month.

Expect the full interview (which gets very nerdy) on VGC in the near future.
Legendary former Nintendo composer Hip Tanaka has told VGC he would "love to" make another full video game soundtrack if asked.

The Super Mario Land, Metroid, Tetris and Kid Icarus composer says he's "getting back into" game music after 20 years away.

"BUG+" was my experimental first foray into comic book making! It's an expansion of an short comic I created during a drawing challenge back in 2020.

Follow two resilient bug robots as they navigate the gargantuan dangers of an apocalyptic world. Will they find home?
