This is my illustrated take on the Charizard V Alternate Full Art (SWSH154/172) from Brilliant Stars, one of the most cinematic alt arts of the Sword and Shield era. The original card by Ryota Murayama shows Charizard reaching down with talons bared and fire ready, while Venusaur lurks in the rocks below, vines already whipping forward to strike. It's the Fire-versus-Grass starter rivalry frozen in a single moment of action, set on a rocky mountainside.

The matchup is iconic. Anyone who picked Charmander in Red or Blue and stared down a Grass-type gym knows this energy, and anyone who plays the TCG knows the fight should favor Charizard on paper. But the art doesn't tell you who wins. It tells you the fight is on.

Like every piece at Palette Town, this Charizard vs Venusaur scene started as a TCG card I love and was redrawn from scratch as original illustration. Every flame, every vine, every spark in the air is a shape drawn by hand and stacked in layers, so the file scales cleanly to any size. On canvas it stays just as crisp and punchy at 24 inches as it does small.

Printed on premium gallery-wrapped canvas with the mountainside art mirrored around all four edges, so it arrives ready to hang with no frame needed. Pick your size and choose slim or thick depth for your wall. If this is the rivalry that defined Pokémon for you, this is the one for the wall.
