'''Shin Nagasawa''' (Japanese: '''長澤真''') is an illustrator for the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. He started illustrating cards for the {{TCG|Beat of the Frontier}} expansion. He is credited for both of [[Tower Tycoon Palmer]]'s {{TCG|Pokémon FB|Pokémon}} {{SP|FB}}, {{TCG ID|Beat of the Frontier|Dragonite FB|73}} and {{TCG ID|Beat of the Frontier|Regigigas FB|87}}. So far, he has illustrated {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Illus. by Shin Nagasawa}} cards for the trading card game, and is expected to do more. For a list of cards he illustrated, go [[:Category:Illus. by Shin Nagasawa|here]].
'''Shin Nagasawa''' (Japanese: '''長澤真''') is a freelance illustrator who provides artwork for the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] and other Pokémon related merchandise. Nagasawa worked as a graphic designer at Square for a number of years after graduating from university in 1994, and was credited as a monster concept artist for several titles during this time. He went freelance in 2000, and has had numerous illustrations and manga series published since, as well as continuing to provide concept art for several games and illustrations for various trading card games. He often uses the pseudonym "'''JASON'''" (ジェイソン) or "'''J-mura'''" (J村) for self-published works (dōjinshi).


Not only has Nagasawa worked on Pokémon trading cards, he has worked on video games and comic books throughout the years. Some of the recent games he has worked on are {{wp|Luminous Arc 2}} and {{wp|Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard}} for [[Nintendo DS]] but he has also been briefly credited for {{wp|Square Co.}} as a monster concept artist for a few games released in the late 1990's. As a comic artist and inker, his most famous works are the spinoff comics based on Marvel Comics's {{wp|Wolverine (comics)|Wolverine}} character in the '''''Wolverine Soultaker''''' series.
Nagasawa's first illustrations were featured on cards from the {{TCG|Supreme Victors}} expansion. For a list of cards he has illustrated, go [[:Category:Illus. by Shin Nagasawa|here]]. In addition to card art, he has also produced the packaging artwork for expansions released outside of Japan, which include {{TCG|Boundaries Crossed}}, {{TCG|Plasma Storm}}, {{TCG|Plasma Freeze}}, and {{TCG|Plasma Blast}}. Other Pokémon related illustrations include those featured on merchandise sold in Japan. These include: {{p|Reshiram}} & {{p|Zekrom}} 2011 New Year's Greeting card and Pochi bags, {{p|Tepig}}, {{p|Pignite}}, and {{p|Emboar}} Uniqlo T-shirt design, {{p|Kyurem}} VS {{p|Tornadus}}•{{p|Thundurus}}•{{p|Landorus}} Pokémon Center stationery, and {{p|Gardevoir}} & {{p|Lilligant}} deck shields.


Nagasawa's illustration style within the TCG varies as does his work for other publications. Some are drawn in a style reminiscent of comic books, in that the Pokémon is drawn with a solid black outline, with areas of extreme shadow and other details also in solid black. In other illustrations, color shading is used to define details and the accompanying background, making outlines less explicit. In nearly all instances Nagasawa focuses on motion and a specific portion of the Pokémon's body with varying degrees of tilt, giving the impression that the Pokémon is moving out of the confines of the image. For a complete list of cards that he has illustrated, go [[:Category:Illus. by Shin Nagasawa|here]].

Revision as of 22:26, 22 February 2016

One of Nagasawa's illustrations

Shin Nagasawa (Japanese: 長澤真) is a freelance illustrator who provides artwork for the Pokémon Trading Card Game and other Pokémon related merchandise. Nagasawa worked as a graphic designer at Square for a number of years after graduating from university in 1994, and was credited as a monster concept artist for several titles during this time. He went freelance in 2000, and has had numerous illustrations and manga series published since, as well as continuing to provide concept art for several games and illustrations for various trading card games. He often uses the pseudonym "JASON" (ジェイソン) or "J-mura" (J村) for self-published works (dōjinshi).

Nagasawa's first illustrations were featured on cards from the Supreme Victors expansion. For a list of cards he has illustrated, go here. In addition to card art, he has also produced the packaging artwork for expansions released outside of Japan, which include Boundaries Crossed, Plasma Storm, Plasma Freeze, and Plasma Blast. Other Pokémon related illustrations include those featured on merchandise sold in Japan. These include: Reshiram & Zekrom 2011 New Year's Greeting card and Pochi bags, Tepig, Pignite, and Emboar Uniqlo T-shirt design, Kyurem VS Tornadus•Thundurus•Landorus Pokémon Center stationery, and Gardevoir & Lilligant deck shields.

Nagasawa's illustration style within the TCG varies as does his work for other publications. Some are drawn in a style reminiscent of comic books, in that the Pokémon is drawn with a solid black outline, with areas of extreme shadow and other details also in solid black. In other illustrations, color shading is used to define details and the accompanying background, making outlines less explicit. In nearly all instances Nagasawa focuses on motion and a specific portion of the Pokémon's body with varying degrees of tilt, giving the impression that the Pokémon is moving out of the confines of the image. For a complete list of cards that he has illustrated, go here.
