Shigenori Negishi
Shigenori Negishi has contributed Pokémon TCG illustrations from 2011 to 2025, spanning series such as Sword & Shield, Sun & Moon, and XY. The work leans cartoonish and playful, with balanced, character-forward staging and vibrant, contrasting color.
“The card depicts Sandslash perched among branches, a moment of quiet observation in its natural habitat. With its sharp claws and spiky back, it looks ready to defend itself while blending seamlessly into the surrounding foliage. The scene captures a sense of alertness, as if Sandslash is both a part of the environment and a vigilant guardian of its territory. This snapshot invites the viewer to appreciate the balance between the Pokémon and its world.”
