Tasked with the challenge of creating an illustration depicting the daily life of a Pokémon. Submitted entry was given the Judge’s Award and chosen as one of the Top 20 finalists out of 10,830 entries from across the U.S. and Japan.

I thought of someone picking this up at its trading card size, so I liked the simple composition that makes the Pokémon stand out. I feel affectionate toward how Cramorant looks in its earnestness in this work.
