About Oku
Oku is a Pokémon TCG illustrator whose first card was Scizor in the Obsidian Flames expansion, an Illustration Rare that pairs two Scizor in the red light of dusk. The artist's work is recognizable for its hand-drawn linework and painterly coloring, which set it apart from the smoother rendering common on modern cards. Oku has since illustrated around a dozen cards, among them Pawniard, Bisharp, Chi-Yu, Glalie, Orbeetle, and Golisopod ex. Little is publicly documented about the artist's background beyond this TCG work.
Their most valuable card is Scolipede (#134/86, Black Bolt), estimated at $24–$32. Cards are ordered by estimated market value.
