Crossing icy seas is no issue for this cold-resistant Pokémon. Its smooth skin is a little cool to the touch.

This art is phenomenal for a new artist

Indeed. Fun fact: there were a whopping 18 artists that debuted in the English TCG with Obsidian Flames!

Thanks!
I do wonder how many of these artists will continue illustrating, and for how long they will do so. If I remember correctly that there were about 150 illustrators prior to Obsidian Flames, this new set increases the total number of illustrators in the history of the game by about 10%. How many illustrators can the Pokémon TCG sponsor at a time? It is already common for illustrators, even Mitsuhiro Arita, to skip multiple sets.

As of today (Sept 17, 2023) there are 285 unique illustrators on PkmnCards!
