Pokemon TCG

The Pokemon Trading Card Game is a tabletop card game I have personally been playing for a long time. It originated in 1996 and has been developed further ever since. As of 2024, it has it's own mobile app which rapidly gained popularity for it's accessibility. Physical Pokemon cards have to be bought to be played with and they are relatively expensive. But in the mobile game packs can be obtained for free. Compared to the physical game, it is also more simplified so games can be shortened.

The game consists of character cards derived from the Pokemon games that can attack and use abilities to take out the opposing player's deck. Each card has its own type and can only attack if it has energy attached of its respective type. Some cards require more than one type of energy but have very powerful attacks in exchange. The game creates a balance with strong moves and fair sacrifices such as losing energy or HP. Many parts of the game are based on RNG and luck making no two rounds the same. Strategy and deck building are utilised, however there is always an element of surprise through luck of the draw, as there is no guarantee that you will have the correct cards you want when you need them.

The Pokemon TCG is still popular with live tournaments happening regularly and being big events in certain countries.

I grew up on the console games more than the TCG, but I still played it very frequently with my siblings and friends as a child and it was a big part of my childhood. Pokemon cards were eventually banned at my middle school because we kept trading and playing with them. Even if I didn't know the real rules when I was younger, I still played with them rather than just collecting them.

Even now, I still play the TCG myself. I have the mobile app and I still play it with my friends and siblings like I did when I was younger. Despite how old the cards are, I believe the TCG will still remain popular as long as the Pokemon Company are around.

Yu-Gi-Oh

Yu-Gi-Oh is another card game I really enjoyed growing up. I didn't play it as frequently because I was more interested in Pokemon cards. I watched the anime A LOT growing up which is how I learnt the rules, but I was more interested in the show more than I was the game. Which is the opposite experience I had with Pokemon, I didn't watch the show as much because I was invested in the games. I still have all of my old cards and it's nostalgic to look back on.

I really enjoy when card games have their own TV shows based on them. Especially for younger audiences, it creates a wider demographic as older players will be more likely to play the game whilst younger viewers are more likely to watch the show. It creates a nice base of people to cater to.

My experiences with board games

Coming from a big family, it's harder to play board games since many of them only have a 4 player limit. However there were games such as Monopoly that can be played with a bigger group which was definitely a big part of my childhood. I played different versions rather than the official growing up, such as The Simpsons and The Minions. These weren't any less difficult than the official one but I have more memories attached to the different characterised releases since I enjoyed having games related to things I liked and seeing references from them. Even now, we have a lot of board games in my house. Another game I mainly played with friends was The Game of Life, one of my friends had it. I wasn’t as interested in this one since it was a lot more complicated.

In particular, I have a lot of memories attached to Angry Birds Space, which is a four player game which is the same concept as Frustration and Ludo, but with Angry Birds. I played this as a child, and we got rid of it after a while. But we bought it again, and my parents play it regularly. I believe this shows the demographic these games appeal to, even though Angry Birds is a children's media, it still appeals to adults. I'm not sure why this could be. This was my favourite board game as a kid because I enjoyed the competitive aspect and how unpredictable each round was, since It's completely up to chance. I was mostly a bigger fan of shorter, simple strategy games that can be played in quick rounds, rather than longer and more complex games such as Cluedo.

Jon Turner

Jon Turner is an artist and illustrator who creates work based on 'strange stories, meandering adventures, retro gaming, literature, mental health, and broken hearts.' He has been commissioned by many notable companies such as BBC Books, No Sleep Records, Threadless and Palgrave Macmillan Publishing.

I think his work is very cute. The use of only black and white with a hint of an accent colour is really charming. Its very well done and this doesn't always look good but his simplistic style allows a lot of room for detail with the shading. He uses a technique called cross hatching to create his shading, and this effect creates a nice texture to more simple drawings.

He sells items with his work on them, a variety including clothing, stickers, blankets and prints. His shop has a good amount of items and has relatively cheap prices for the quality of work.

[boredgamehg]

Although I haven't done much illustration work in the course, I can still compare the different ways our work may relate. Jack Teagle is a unique and great Illustrator that has a simplistic look whilst being well made and detailed.

Personally I enjoy looking at his art as it is a combimation of simple art and concepts not usually seen with this style. I also like his character portraits like the one with the different comic characters.

"The Women in Black" by Madeleine St John

"The Women In Black" by Madeleine St John is a charming and witty novel set in 1950s Sydney, Australia. The story is about a women lives working at Goode's department store.

The narrative follows the experiences of several women who work in different areas of the store, more focusing on Lisa, a young and intelligent schoolgirl working in the Ladies' Frocks section during her summer break. As she communicating with her colleagues, such as the sophisticated and worldly Fay, the bookish Patty, and the glamorous Magda, a Slovenian who is not from this country who runs the haute couture section, Lisa's perspective on life, love, and her future undergoes a transformation.

The novel explores themes of female friendship, societal, the changing roles of women in the 1950s, and the pursuit of personal ambitions. It's a delightful story that captures the scene of a bygone era and the women navigating their desires and dreams in a rapidly evolving society.

I like book cover because its very simple. I like that the dresses are all different and i like all the colours that were used so it looks cool.

Other art styles :)

Malika Favre:

Favre's line-less style is very bold especially when it comes to the colours and shapes used in the pieces. I think this style is very cool and just goes to show that great art doesn't have to be insanely detailed and intricate.

Dan Hipp:

Hipp's style is a bit more on the detailed side but I like it none the less. The use of colour and stylization of the characters makes his art unique. I also like how he portrays the emotion of the character through things like pose and facial expression.

Kei zama:

Zama's style is very detailed as most of their art is of robots. I like the use of black in their art style as it helps differentiate the different parts that make up the character. I also like how they change character designs (like on the avengers cover) and turn them into something their quite well known for.

Jack Teagle:

Teagle's style is very detailed an busy as there's always something bizarre going on in his pieces. I like the overall characterization that comes with this art style as it gives personality not just too characters but also the background. The use of bold black lines helps in keeping the elements of the piece separate and easy to see.

Joelle Jones:

Jones's art style is a nice blend of semi-realism. This style also incorporates the classic black shadows seen in many comics now a days along with a good use of colour. I like how on the "Lady Killer" cover, the victims are coloured in red and there blood is in black.

Other artists with unusual style. Part 1

Malika Favre:

Malika Favre is a French illustrator and graphic artist based in Barcelona. Her style of works could be characterized by pure minimalism within Pop art and Op art, where it sometimes described as 'Pop Art meets Op Art'.

How does Malika Favre create her art?

She does this through experimenting with metaphors, positive and negative space, shadows, layers and many other key tools. Photography is a significant tool in this initial stage, helping Favre to extract colours, patterns and graphic elements.

What software does Malika Favre use?

This is what Malika Favre's answer for this question: ''I've stopped sketching by hand. I now sketch with Illustrator, sometimes in black and white, other times in color, to draft the composition and idea. The most important part of the process is to generate ideas. Everyone has their own way and there aren't any rules.''

What are some interesting facts about Malika Favre?

Favre was born with a severe case of strabismus, or crossed eyes. It was surgically corrected when she was very young, but she still sees perspective differently from the rest of us. “I can't see 3-D, for example, so if you give me 3-D glasses, I see blurry.

My opinions for this artist as her style is showing off, negative spaces mixed with positive spaces as she uses such bright and bold colours as well to show the complex to show the colours compared very well like white mixed with red and different shades of blues which is very well done for Malika.

My opinions for this artist, that his style is very cartoony as his own art works has lot of colours which is mixed with dullness, brightness and pastel-ish colours in his art works. I think he making lot of positive shapes on his art works with cartoony style.

Dan Hipp

Dan Hipp was born on 11 September 1978 in Fresno, California, USA. Dan is an art director and writer, known for Teen Titans GO! To the Movies (2018), Marvel Snap (2022) and Manga Motion Comics (2009).

Dan Hipp is a cartoon and comic book artist well known for his work with Warner Media, specifically DC Comics.

Prior to working as an artist, Daniel Hipp attended Edison High School in Fresno, California. He went into further studying at the University of California in Irving. Sometime after his schooling was done, Dan got jobs with big name animation studios, including Warner Bros. Animation, Random House, DC Comics, and, most recently, Cartoon Network.

As of right now, Hipp once specialized as an art director in Teen Titans Go!. His own personal art can be seen numerous times throughout the show, as many of the pictures and signs throughout the Titans Tower are Dan's creations. In addition, many Teen Titans Go! comic book cover is the work of Hipp's hands.

My opinions for this artist, that he also creates lot of positive spaces on his art works which I think that he does this to show the more details on the works so that people can see the whole page and not specific parts and he uses lot of bright colours that he used on his arts.

ARTISTS

MILIKA FARVE

Farve uses bright and bold colours with a lineless style and big blocks of colour throughout the piece. Her application of colour theory is impressive.

JACK TEAGLE

Something I really like about his pieces are the patterns included within in otherwise what would have been a big block of the same colour, adding intricacy in a way that still keeps the overall thing as looking simple.

DAN HIPP

A familiar style to many due to how popular his work is, and rightfully so. The simplicity in combination with dynamic pieces with visually appealing colours make for very charming pieces.

KEI ZAMA

Harsh, black shadows and immense detail is what makes this art incredibly recognizable and generally appealing. It fits the grimmer, more violent antics of the comic.
