FAQs

Are you currently accepting new commissions?

No. My commissions are currently full. If you’re interested in getting a commission done, I highly recommend signing up for my Newsletter so you can be notified when I re-open. I would also recommend reading my Commissions page, so you can be prepared to fill out the commission form.

Do I send you the card that I want to be painted?

You can, if you have the card. Otherwise, I will provide the card. Please refer to my Commissions page for more information.

I want a card painted, but I’m not sure which one. Where can I look?

I would highly recommend searching the name of the Pokemon you’re interested in on a website like tcgplayer, or trollandtoad. You should be able to see all of the available cards of any given pokemon through their search results. You can then tell me the set number of the card you want to be painted when you fill out the commission form.

How do I find the set number on a Pokemon card?

For cards made before 2017, the set number will be in the lower right-hand corner. For cards made after 2017, the set number will be in the lower left-hand corner. In either case, the number should look something like “12/156” or in the case of promo cards, it will look something like “XY152”

Do you accept card donations?

Yes, gladly! Please email me, or fill out the Contact form and I will send you my shipping address for card donations.

What’s the difference between Full Art and Extended Art?

Full Arts are cards that are fully painted, with no text showing. Extended Arts are painted cards in which the existing artwork is extended to the edges, and the borders are painted. With Extended Arts, the text boxes (including the name of the pokemon and the attacks) are left unpainted. Check out my Shop, or my Instagram to see examples of each kind.

How do you make a card fully holographic?

I apply acetone to a q-tip or cotton pad, and begin rubbing it onto the card’s surface. This process takes off the layer of surface ink, and reveals the fully holo layer underneath. All holos & reverse holos will have this layer, but non-holo cards will not. If you want to try this yourself, I recommend ZabaTV’s youtube tutorial. In my experience, English vintage cards are the most difficult to strip the ink off of, so I would not recommend trying on those. Japanese vintage cards seem to take to the process a little better. Modern English cards are by far the easiest to strip down, but modern Japanese cards are hit-or-miss.
