That’s pretty cool, that they get the chance to have their submission on upcoming promo cards. I like the grand prize winners illustration.
I’m skipping the next episode of pokemon journeys. One of my least favorite characters will appear.
What, Iris?
No. I like Iris. Hop is one of my least favorites. I like Bede but I dislike Hop because I wanted Hop to be a girl.
that’s not very relevant
@Sha Tiao
I bet it’s Hop. You might be the guy who hates Allister, Avery and Hop.
I kinda always wanted to join art contest like this but I should really practice on background coloring more
Same here.
Great illustrations and congrats to the winners.
