About me


Hey there, welcome! My name is Ishmam. I'm a freelance artist and have been uploading art for over 15 years. I got my start as the kid who would always get in trouble for doodling in the middle of class, drawing comics for friends, and making fan art of my favorite games and shows before I ever uploaded anything. Now, on deviantArt, I'm known for my digital paintings and power portraits. I always have more art on the way, but while it's in the oven, why not take a look around my gallery?


I read and appreciate all the comments and feedback I get. Your support is the fuel that keeps me doing my best work. If you have an idea for something you'd like to see or work together on, check here for more info on commissioning and don't hesitate to get in touch. My best work has come from collaboration.


If you like what you see in my gallery, you may also like the prints, stickers, and knick knacks that are available on my Redbubble shop or the full-resolution downloads available on my Gumroad. I invite you to take a look if you're interested. I'm also on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Ko-fi, Twitter, Tumblr, and Spotify.

Thank you for visiting.

Me fascinan tus Pokémon!! los contrastes de los colores y los contornos los hacen únicos 🙏👌yo también empecé a dibujar a los pokemons de kanto pero apenas llevo como 5 🥺 eres una gran inspiración.

Can I use your Pokémon artworks to make Pokémon cards? I will make sure to put the link to your artwork.

Thanks for asking! If they are just for personal use, go ahead. If you plan to sell or use them commercially, please let me know.

With personal use, does it count to make Pokémon cards and upload them here in DA? I have no intention to own any cent

Hi there! I really love your Pokemon power portraits. They look really nice! :D
