Hey kindsoul, I'm starting on the coloring and re-lining right now. I just have a few questions: -Would you like me to do my best to straight trace over your lines to preserve your personal touch or do it in my own semi-realistic style, or get both? -Do you want me to trace over your little signature in the bottom corner? I know something like that can be iffy, but I'd like you to keep credit. -Do you want Zangoose's claws to be purple like in the third generation sprites, or the black they've been everywhere else? -You're cool with me not shading this, right? I'm too inexperienced in that area right now and I don't want to screw up the art with it. Hm.. - I would love to see your semi-realistic style but I want to preserve my personal touch too.. I wanna get both. - Yes, please do it ^^ - Black. - Its okay ^^ Yukiitan finished the coloring she made for me, when youre finished i'll choose the best one and put on my sig ^^

Whooo, finally done! I didn't have too much time these past few days, but I'm very proud of the end result. (except I forgot to color Latios's feather shafts) Okay I saved a few different versions, feel free to alternate or pick whatever of these you like. One with a background and our signatures. (sorry, I added mine as well because I ended up putting a lot into this) (and, yeah, I did have to use my "special brush" haha, I just had to) One with the background but no signatures. One with no background but with signatures. And, one with no background or signatures. And lastly, each Pokemon by themselves, just because I drew them entirely, but in separate layers and wanted to show them off. p.s. all the colors, except for the parts that aren't normal for the Pokemon, were eyedropped from official Ken Sugimori artwork, aside from Latios. For him I used his shiny Black and White sprites. (most recent and most advanced coloring) ZangooseThis one I did after Persian and a little bit of Latios during the drawing stage. I kept working off and on with this one because the fur was so intimidating. So, Zangoose is essentially the main reason I took so long. I'm satisfied though, especially with the fuzziness of his outer foot. I always got a cat/bobcat/wolverine/badger vibe from Zangoose so that's what I did with him. LatiosYep he's much more pissed than you drew. I just really wanted to draw his mouth open and the fluffy ruffled feathers. I am so impressed by the wings I drew (conceited, perhaps, but I dreaded drawing them) because I have rarely ever tried drawing wings anywhere near realistic and detailed wings and I'm pretty sure this is the only time I actually went all the way with that. I forgot to color the shafts of the feathers but it may not have looked as good and instead detracted from the rest of the wings, so they look good the way they are. I decided to make him a dragon/swan hybrid because Latias and Latios were sometimes called the "Bird Duo" and also the "Dragon Duo", plus when I was looking up wing references for his wings I saw a photo of a swan that is strikingly similar to his official artwork. (and also because Pokedex entries mention feathers, ha) I drew some of him after Persian and then the rest lastly, before the coloring. PersianThe first one I drew and later the first one I colored. Not much to say about this one, the sketch from before wasn't changed much and then I colored it. I based Persian off of Siamese cats and Pumas, didn't take a lot of creativity to make a semi-realistic version, haha. Not as fluffy as the other two, but she's a classy cat. Also, crap I just remembered that I forgot to trace and color your version. I'll do that later, now I'm going to get to work on a few contest entries. Hope you like this one for now, at least. : ) And, sorry if I got any genders wrong, if so tell me and I'll modify this post.

FREAKING. AWESOME. YOU ARE THE GODDESS OF THE NEW WORLD. My comments: Of course, you had to add your signature because after all you drew the entire thing. I loved that white pokeball thingie on the left and I loved the style of the background too. Everything looks so perfect and so awesome. It doesnt even need to be shaded. Zangoose is the one that looked more awesome in my opinion, I can feel his fur just by looking at it, he's awesome with this wild and crafty look. His nose is awesome, his eyes are awesome, his mouth is awesome, his claws are awesome, everything is perfect. Latios is scary (and the feathers are awesome). The first thing I tought when I saw him, along with "awesome feathers!" xD He REALLY is pissed and he looks like he'll pull out a knife and slice me with those incredible feathers. I was wondering how you would make a realistic Latios, and I loved how you did it with those awesome feathers. I loved the claws, and did I mentioned that the feathers are AWESOME? Persian is GREAT, like zangoose, he looks like he's setting a plan to ruin my day. It would really fit if you put Giovanni next to him because of that face xD I LOVED the ears, they look very realistic and, still, loyal to the real persian, loved the fur, loved the tail, loved everything. The drawing is awesome and it really was worth the waiting, congratu latios

Wooow. : I Th..thank you very much. That is, really awesome of you to type. I had a feeling you would like it, but dang you're awesome for going nuts. XD (no offense) Did you squee when you saw it?
Nah seriously, thank you for loving it so much. I still think your signature belongs there too. After all, I drew over yours to do it. The poses and placement are completely from your drawing, aside mostly from Latios's fist. The fur and feathers are honestly scribbles drawn with a long-trained wrist and the help of the zoom feature. It would seem that all my dreading Zangoose's fur and then sucking it up bit by bit really payed off. Both you and Yukii favor it (ha) and I'll admit, I love him too. Uber fluffiness, a giant bushy tail, big claws, long ears with fluff on the tips, slit pupils many of my favorite design elements. But I'm so sure I'd be allergic to him and Persian. I'm probably most proud of Latios, though. At first I couldn't think of a way to make him look real, until I looked up some other realistic renditions, and felt confident enough to make my own. And his wings are definitely my biggest achievement of this drawing to me. Needed a reference, but the one I found really just helped me find the general shape for the wings. Although he isn't evil or anything, maybe just Adamant-natured. And lastly, thanks, Persian was the easiest to convert and draw. I thought about Giovanni, but since it seems this is your team, he wouldn't have any right being there. : P Except maybe to steal Persian 8. (you know it's true)
Also, No.8, what are you talking about? : I
