ah thanks guys :')
and cirno, that's awesome...i'd love to see some of your darker pokemon when you're finished...haha i think it's funny that someone mentioned how my chandelure gave them a tim burton feel...but while i was painting chandelure the whole time i was just thinking about how tim burton the whole concept of the pokemon's art was to begin with.
dr. octo: thanks :D...always happy to get stalkers because most of mine are from like 2004-5 and no longer even using dA anymore :(...what's your tag on it?
updated OP with
scolipede as mentioned :P...now that my team is done, i've actually went ahead and started the pokemon poster thing i apparently decided to do. i'm gonna go into detail with the trainer portrait after this i think...but i have a cliche action-style promo poster of my trainer and entire team in process. it's gonna have corn all over it haha.
edit: hopefully from my sig you can tell that i did plan the colors right off the bat...haha...they form a sort of gradiant. i purposely shifted cloyster's naturally purple color scheme to teal though because i really wanted the waters to be grouped together :P
