Ryo Ueda
Ryo Ueda has been credited on Pokémon TCG cards from 2003 to 2023, spanning more than 400 illustrations. Work appears across EX, XY, and Sword & Shield, with a digital, action-forward approach that favors focused framing, balanced layouts, and vibrant, contrasting color.
“The Steelix-EX card captures the imposing presence of Steelix as it emerges from a rocky landscape, its metallic body glinting under a darkened sky. Surrounding it are floating debris and asteroids, hinting at a chaotic environment that emphasizes its strength and resilience. The intense gaze of Steelix, with its piercing red eye, suggests a character ready to face any challenge that comes its way. This moment encapsulates a sense of determination and raw power in the face of adversity.”
