Where it came from
The Muk card from the Brilliant Stars expansion, released in early 2022, serves as a quintessential example of the shift toward the Sword & Shield series' artistic direction. This set was notable for introducing the Trainer Gallery subset, which emphasized a more collaborative approach to illustration, drawing in artists who sought to showcase Pokémon in dynamic, often humorous, or narrative-driven environments rather than just standard poses.
The illustration for this specific Muk card was crafted by artist Shibuzoh., who chose to highlight the creature's sludge-like physiology in a vivid, slightly unsettling, yet playful composition. By placing Muk in a saturated urban-industrial backdrop, the artwork leans into the creature's toxic theme while maintaining the clean, high-contrast aesthetic that defined the Brilliant Stars collection. It was generally well-received by players and collectors for its personality and its adherence to the series' evolving visual identity.
