Pokemon Fan Creates Incredible Umbreon Painting Based on TCG Card

A talented Pokemon fan has made a painting of Umbreon based on one of its most popular TCG cards, achieving an impressive result. Over the years of the franchise, Pokemon fans have met hundreds of charismatic critters, but few have won the hearts of the audience like the Eeveelutions. Each Eevee variant has a different appearance and set of abilities based on how Pokemon trainers decide to evolve the creature.

One of these Eeveelutions is Umbreon, a Pokemon that fans met in Gen 2. While Eevee unlocks new forms when trainers use a evolution stone, the process to turn it into Umbreon is different. Eevee evolves into Umbreon when it has maximum friendship, and it levels up at night. With this, the Pokemon gains black fur symbolizing the night, and yellow eyes that glow when the Pokemon is exposed to the moon's aura. Umbreon is a much-loved Eevelution in the Pokemon community, as evidenced by a talented fan has produced some incredible artwork based on it.

Reddit user painting_withLiv23 made a painting based on the Umbreon TCG card known as Umbreon VMAX Secret Rare Alternate Art. According to the fan, they made the painting as a gift for a friend whose favorite card is the Umbreon VMAX TCG card, even though they don't have a physical copy of the card. As a result, the OP produced a beautiful rendition of the popular Pokemon card that depicts Dynamax Umbreon on top of a tower, with the Pokemon trying to «boop» the moon.

The Umbreon VMAX Secret Rare Alternate Art card has been one of the most coveted by Pokemon fans in recent years. Released in 2021 as part of Evolved Skies, the seventh expansion of the Pokemon Sword and Shield era, Umbreon VMAX is illustrated by Keiichiro Ito. This card is one of the most expensive of the Gen 8 expansions, and it's not hard to find it for sale on eBay for prices ranging from $899 to almost $8,000 for a card like this in pristine condition.

With decades of existence, Pokemon continues to unite fans in different ways, who form friendships
