Pokemon Fan Makes Incredible Mewtwo Paintings

The Pokemon fandom is filled with hundreds of unique and powerful pocket monsters, but some have more staying power than others. Mewtwo, one of the very first Legendary Pokemon from the Gen 1 games, has been a fan favorite since the very beginning. Recently, one Pokemon fan made two incredible paintings of Mewtwo based on a trading card.

As a Legendary Pokemon, Mewtwo is rather rare in both thePokemon video games and the Pokemon Trading Card Game. Some Mewtwo trading cards can go to collectors for incredibly high prices, with at least one being valued at over $400. However, somePokemon fans would rather turn Pokemon trading cards into art pieces than keep them in a binder or glass case.

Redditor Kalseru_ recently shared two gorgeous paintings of Mewtwo they made based on one specific Mewtwo trading card. This isn't the first time a Pokemon fan has captured the glory of Mewtwo in fan art, but it may be one of the most spectacular. The artist's work took the dramatic image of Mewtwo featured on the card, showing the Pokemon whirling in mid-air and surrounded by crackling dark energy, and crafted two possible versions of the full scene.

In the first painting, Mewtwo is shown floating over an idyllic grassy meadow--or rather, the remains of an idyllic grassy meadow. The ground is being cracked into pieces as the Pokemon exercises its tremendous psychic powers. Its tail extends off the left side of the painting while two crescent-shaped slashes of purple energy fill the foreground. In the second painting, the green grass and dotted wildflowers are replaced with thick dark clouds and what seems to be a storm-tossed sea. This painting replaces the slashes
