Zoroark - Blog Posts
A blog about one of my favorite artists, Atsuko Nishida!
Atsuko is a video game artist. She works for the Pokemon company and has been ever since the first games! Originally most of the Pokemon designs were supposed to appear scary or tough like Charizard or Tyranitar, but she took some of the designs and gave them a cutesy look!
Atsuko is also the mastermind behind the company’s mascot Pikachu! She also designed a couple of the eevee evolutions and even designed my favorite Pokemon Zoroark! Not only that but if it wasn’t for her, Ivysaur would look like this!
Another cute fact about this artist is she’s super camera shy, during an interview in 2018 she spent the entire thing hiding behind a Pikachu plush!
Atsuko’s work is very important to the company because without her design we wouldn’t have a balance of designs within the Pokemon games. We mainly have intimidating ones such as Garchomp or Metagross.
Atsuko is an inspiration to me because not only are her designs diverse and loved by all but they also hold purpose in a way. The main rule of a pokemon design is that they need to look like they’d be your friend, I feel that Atsuko pulls this off really well! I try and make my work to have the same feel, some of my characters may look intimidating but deep down inside they’re total sweethearts who will have your back no matter what, either that or they’re just goofballs who want to have a good time with you!
One of the things that amazes me about her is that when she made the design for the company’s mascot, Pikachu, she didn’t make any concept sketches! She went straight to the computer and started punching dot’s to create him. She even quoted it herself in one of her interviews!
I like her designs because of how much character they hold and the color schemes and inspiration behind them are interesting! Not only that but the designs are also loved by many people and I wish to have people enjoy my designs, similarly to how they enjoy Atsuko’s!
Forgot to upload this 2 weeks ago. :(
My first attempt at a zoroark, my favourite Pokémon!
It was majorly referenced by the photo above it because I’m not the best at making Pokémon in my own style just yet.
I need to remember I can advertise them on here, but I just finished a stream, and had fun making some fashion for N Harmonia! I plan to do more (No old man will be safe) Posted 8th September, 2024
Heres the alternate form(s) for Zorua and Zoroark! Oh and we have a region name now! So welcome the Ralian Forms!
Fox Cards.
——————
The Enamel pin backing card designs!
Recently conducted a poll on both Insta and Twitter, and as expected the DARK Mode got majority vote by a long shot. XD
The cards are made longer to accommodate the full length of the pins + tassels, and are printed on Holographic cards to give them a subtle sheen.

* Progress updates for the pins can be viewed in my Instagram (@Fuyu_Tjondro) or Twitter (@BeatRadical), and they will be dropping to my Sh0pify sometime next week ~ >w</

I wonder if my personal outrage at fairies in so many different froms of media being made out to be perfect, pure, cute, and harmless rather than dangerous beings not of this realm is connected to me wanting neurotypicals to leave me alone (through fear or respect if necessary, I don't care) rather than treat me like I am a cute little child that cannot understand anything and never will.
Autistic folks like myself used to be perceived as like changelings and such after all.
tamamo no mae’s your zoroark- Bonus flavor text:
>Sealed somewhere deep within the snowy mountainside, this Pokemon was said to have once walked among humans, wreaking chaos wherever it went.
>Hidden far from civilization, it’s rumored that if the seal containing this Pokemon were ever to break, great evil would befall the land.
