Description
Before Pokemon and Bakugan, Marvel and DC superhero trading cards were the thing to have. When I was young, I collected the DC cards mostly, but the day I went to buy my first pack of Marvel cards seemed like the day they stopped making them.
I had intended on making this the moment I commissioned to make some killer artwork of my character, Pellet AKA Brandon Bell AKA BB.
An odd jolt of inspiration came after seeing Nate X's new X-Men poster (thumbnail below) and my attempt to mimic the cards of my youth (seen here ) helped me finally make my very own Pellet card!
I hope you enjoy! Thank you all for the support!

Its GREAT to be proud of what you create! I need to upload the character ID I filled out for Brandon from your gallery, but not right now so I don't flood my gallery with too much Brandon. Need some variety!
We need a Brandon putting a bandage on Frankie's knee picture!
