About the artist

Credited from 2013 through 2025, chibi’s Pokémon TCG illustrations appear across Sun & Moon, Sword & Shield, and Scarlet & Violet. With 40 cards represented, the catalog also touches sets such as Unified Minds and Battle Styles, including Trainer artwork alongside Pokémon-focused scenes.

Across these cards, chibi’s approach favors whimsical, cartoonish rendering and a consistently playful, lighthearted tone. Compositions tend to read as balanced yet dynamic, often built around clear character-focused staging and action-forward framing when movement is present. Color is a defining tool: vibrant palettes dominate, frequently paired with contrasting accents, softened at times by pastel or cool-toned harmonies. A representative highlight is Shadow Rider Calyrex VMAX.
