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!

日本の考古学者の皆さん、日出ずる国からの新しい回にようこそ！今回は嵐播神社についてお話しします。 - 嵐播神社は宮城県にある。荒神館 どの神様を祀っているのですか？謎に包まれた神で、東北地方と関東地方で信仰されている。荒祭神社は多賀城市にあり、正確な創建年代は不明だが、1774年に創建されたと記録されている。 - 津軽外三郡誌とは？和田喜八郎によって発見された古文書である。しかし、現在では偽書である可能性もあり、アラハバキはむしろ津軽地方を支配していた一族の名前に見える。議論のために、あなたの意見をコメントに残してください。 - それではまた、良い一週間をお過ごしください。
Over 6 months in the making (mostly bc procrastination) but I finally compiled my Kanto Gym Leader Magazine series. I love the idea of an in-universe style fashion publication where they all do interviews about their hobbies and stuff
Want something like this for your own OC? My commissions are open!!
