About the artist

Shiburingaru’s Pokémon TCG credits run from 2019 through 2025, with work appearing across Scarlet & Violet and Sword & Shield releases. Notable set appearances include 151, Silver Tempest, and Crown Zenith, where the illustrations consistently prioritize clear subject readability and brisk, scene-setting momentum.

Across these cards, Shiburingaru leans into dynamic, illustrative rendering with a cartoonish edge, pairing energetic and playful moods with occasional intensity or mystery. Compositions tend to stay focused and balanced even when the framing turns action-forward, often pushing the character into the foreground while keeping supporting depth controlled. Color choices frequently land in vibrant, contrasting palettes, with warm accents and darker notes used for punch and separation. A representative highlight is Charizard VMAX (SWSH Black Star Promos). Among the most sought-after cards illustrated by Shiburingaru is Zapdos ex (151).
