Atsuko Ujiie
Atsuko Ujiie illustrated Pokémon TCG cards from 2003 to 2004, appearing primarily in EX: Team Magma vs Team Aqua, with an additional credit in Skyridge. The work pairs warm, vibrant color with clear, balanced staging and a playful, cartoon-leaning finish.
“The card depicts Team Magma's Houndour standing confidently amidst a backdrop of molten rock and flickering flames, embodying the fiery spirit of its team. Its dark fur contrasts sharply with the bright orange hues of the surrounding environment, creating a striking visual that draws the eye. Houndour's stance conveys a sense of readiness, as if it is prepared to defend its territory or engage in a challenge. This moment captures the essence of a Pokémon thriving in a world where fire and passion reign.”
