Muuna – Sword & Shield – Base

I wonder who sets the commissions for which card an artist picks up. Do they pitch? Are they just lucky to get given work in any given set? I really can’t imagine Asako Ito would have leapt at Muuna as a project. What I love when the Pokémon is just a round ball is how she ups the ante on the backdrops, here creating something so stunningly subtle with its matching pastels and minimalist detail.
