About Palafin ex (Terastal Festival ex [SV8a] 207\/187)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With Palafin ex, the identity of the illustrator has to be the biggest factor that elevates this card’s value and fan demand. That’s because this card was illustrated by Tetsuo Hara, the manga artist behind the iconic ’80s sh\u014dnen manga series Fist of the North Star\u2014one of the biggest names that Creatures Inc. has ever landed as a guest illustrator. The Full Art illustration of this Special Art Rare (SAR) card is a clear shoutout to Fist of the North Star; Hara’s classic art style is clearly evident in this depiction of Palafin ex unleashing a flurry of punches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Hara, the idea behind the illustration was to imply that Palafin ex was punching at such a pace that afterimages of its fists are visible. The red outlines around its two main fists further add to this effect.
