When I was about 11 or 12, myself and 2 friends made a wildly derivative Top Trumps/Pokemon card game called (for some reason) Rakafikimon.
I found the cards last year and decided, as an illustration exercise, to work up each character into a fully illustrated design and maybe make myself a whole new pack of Rakafikimon.
The original plan was to spend no longer than an hour on the new designs, although some of them ended up taking a lot longer as I got really into them.
The originals were illustrated in Microsoft Paint – the new ones are Photoshop paintings.

Very imaginative and excellent recreations of the original. Do I detect some inspiration from Pokemon in some of these? Very well done :)
Haha yea it was right around the height of the Pokemon card phenomenon. Glad you enjoyed them!
