Tasked with the challenge of creating an illustration depicting the daily life of a Pokémon, my submitted entry was given the Judge’s Award and chosen as one of the Top 20 finalists out of 10,830 entries from across the United States and Japan.

“I thought of someone picking this up at its trading card size, so I liked the simple composition that makes the Pokémon stand out. I feel affectionate toward how Cramorant looks in its earnestness in this work.”
