3D GENGAR TRADING CARD - FULL PAINTING TUTORIAL

In this tutorial, we bring one of the most iconic Pokémon to life — the mischievous and ghostly Gengar — in full 3D form. Using thin, deliberate layers and careful blending, we create a radiant underglow and spectral energy effect that captures the spirit of this classic 90s favorite.

From reflective magentas and deep purples to glowing yellows and haunting highlights, this piece combines nostalgia and artistry — perfect for painters and collectors alike.

This stunning model was produced by Nostalgic 3D Models, whose work continues to revive the magic of our childhood one figure at a time.
