About the artist

REND’s Pokémon TCG credits run from 2019 through 2025, with work appearing most often in Scarlet & Violet releases and extending into Sword & Shield via SWSH Black Star Promos. Recent appearances include sets such as Temporal Forces, Twilight Masquerade, and Paldean Fates, alongside other Scarlet & Violet-era expansions.

Across these cards, REND favors a whimsical, illustrative finish shaped by playful, cheerful moods and energetic pacing. Compositions frequently read as both dynamic and balanced: characters are kept in clear focus, often pushed forward in the frame, with occasional emphasis on expressive posing. Color handling trends strongly vibrant, tempered at times by soft, warm, or pastel notes, and supported by contrasting accents when the scene calls for extra snap. A representative example is Cutiefly.
