UPDATE (May 8, 2018): The contest is over!

Battle for Celebi ResultsThe contest is over! It's a shame there weren't more entries, but I guess this makes judging easier.

Midnight-Quilla: There were some sizing issues with this one, both with the fonts and symbols. The attack costs don't bother me so much since they wouldn't have fit otherwise, but the WRRC symbols should've remained the size from the symbol sheet. Alignment could also use a little bit of work (especially on the info bar).

JustinNuggets: Great card! I love the rev-holo effect. Fonts and placement look good. Card number should be 6/200 instead of 006/200, but that's minor. The only thing I really think lets the card down is the pixel art in the evo bar. It's just a bit blurry and I feel slightly too small in relation to the circle. I don't recommend using pixel art on cards.

ChokaVonChicken: Mmm, jelly-filled donuts! I love how fun this card looks. It kind of reminds me of the fan-made cards featured in

Using my Hybrid Neo-Gym Pokemon TCG Photoshop Template, make a Pokémon card featuring yourself as the Pokémon’s Trainer. (Read the "Notes/Tips" section in the template's description before using it.)

• One entry per person (your entry may be edited or replaced at any point before the deadline without penalty)

• All Pokémon (or Fakemon of your own design) allowed, excluding Legendaries/Mythicals and Megas
• Pick one of your favorites, a notable Pokémon you've actually used, or something you could imagine having on your team IRL!
• Shiny Pokémon are only allowed if you’ve encountered that Pokémon at full-odds in the games or pulled one from a booster pack

• Artwork, excluding evolution icon for evolved Pokémon, must be entirely your own (including the Trainer mug and Badge/emblem)
• This means no traced art, altered models, Trainer-builders, or stock backgrounds! (Your own photos are OK for backgrounds)
  
• If you want to draw the evolution icon yourself instead of using one by Ken Sugimori, that's fine too
• If you find making your Badge/emblem look 3D too difficult, 2D is fine (see Imakuni?’s Doduo)

• Try to stick to Neo-era wording and rulings (Pokémon are referred to by card name, Shiny Pokémon are Basic, etc.)

• Entries must be child-friendly (no nudity, profanity, gore, etc.)
  

• International contestants are welcome, but cards must be English for judging convenience

• Post a link to your completed card in the comments
  

A set symbol isn't required, but feel free to make your own or use the official Black Star Promo symbol (see official cards for scaling). Set number can be anything you like or you can delete it altogether. Rarity is recommended only if you use a set number in #/# format and should not be used with the Black Star Promo symbol.

Since Dragon and Fairy didn't exist in the Gym-Neo TCG sets, use Colorless in place of those.

Deadline: May 7, 2018 (11:59 PM EDT)

Cards will be judged on their overall vibe, not just their artwork and/or creative effects. Spelling/grammar, fonts, and placement will also be considered to some degree.

Once the entries have been judged, the winner will be sent a custom holo Ancient Celebi card (pictured below) via mail.



This card was created for artistic purposes only and is not intended for use, sale, or trade. It features a standard card back, unlike the official Ancient Mew.
