So, being that Meloetta is my favorite Pokemon, and its XY120 Promo is the best card art of it, I decided that I wanted to do 2 things;
Uncover it from all the wretched text, and
Make it shiny!!!!!
So I spent a total of about 5 hours eyedropping, drawing, and smudging on GIMP to "fix" the art, trying to keep it look as similar as to what I would imagine it to be without the text. I smoothed out some of the shading
Credit to Megumi Mizatani for the original artwork, and obviously credit to Nintendo for the Pokemon concept.
P.S., I just realized I need to do some shading on the hair, but other than that, I'm happy with how it turned out. I'll update it once I get the shading looking right!
P.S.S., Yes, the name and the bit of hair in the bottom corner aren't covered, but the name I figured was important enough, and the uncovering the hair outline in the corner would take away from the layout of the card(yes I know the whole idea does that but I hope you'll get what I mean)
