For the Pokemon Natural Habitat contest hosted by
They are offering awesome prizes all the way to tenth place so don't be shy (or discouraged) from entering!
I'm offering a portrait of your OC with a starter if you win first or second place~
If you get third place, will draw a character of your choice (so tbh, I wouldn't mind getting third place because Llaren's art is gorgeous)

I have an alternate idea that I might end up painting for the pure hell of it

Painted in GIMP 2.8 in 20-30 hours

This is certainly one of the most badass dragon environmental painting I've seen for a long time :'D
The rock formations and the textures look amazing ;_; and that water and soft fading forest.. hnnn.
I wanna visit that place (without getting eaten by dragons though)

I would love to visit that place for real too, tbh. But I did use photography reference pictures so there are actually places like this.

Midair fight scenes with flying creatures with terrestrial limbs have always seemed difficult to pull off to me, but you've done it swimmingly Aero

I used a few photos of eagles fighting midair as reference for this.

Majestic dragons in a majestic canyon, my only weakness ;u;
I love the contrast of the PokΓ©mon fighting in front of a quiet, sunny scenery. It screams "See everything that nature has to offer in one package!"

Thanks for the promo here and in your journal, too! <3

I had quite a bit of fun with the dragons and the background.

Hahah... Well, I'm probably going to livestream this weekend (potentially/probably later today) so you can maybe find out there? X"D
I use default brushes in GIMP and the paint tool mostly.

EmpressLaurosaurus In reply to Aerorwen [2015-10-10 22:37:28 +0000 UTC]

I am intending to, but idk which one to pick yet.
Don't have much chances but I'd like to practice my background skills and a bit dynamic, as I feel that is what is mainly lacking in my work (not considering all the other flaws in this thought)

Your high place is certain I'd say, haha

Aerorwen In reply to EmpressLaurosaurus [2015-10-11 02:49:13 +0000 UTC]

Well, if you have a favorite pokemon, I would pick that. It's just more fun to draw and you're more invested in it. X)
Aww, I think you have a fair chance at it. Just make sure to use lots and lots of photo references and that will help. I had 20+ images collected for inspiration and had 3-5 open at any time.

Karura-Art [2015-10-10 08:49:06 +0000 UTC]

Your way of drawing Charizard really reminds me of Dragonite xD And Arnold, ofcourse. I really like the soft colors and the lights. The background has detail, but doesn't disturb the image. Great entry (:Β 
I really want to enter myself, but I have no ideaaass D:

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Aerorwen In reply to Karura-Art [2015-10-10 19:43:24 +0000 UTC]

Well, the colors are similar here, I guess.
LMAO everyone thinks of Arnold now. XD
Thank you so much~

Well, Charizard was kind of a spur of the moment decision because I love Charizard, but I got a lot of ideas by looking up landscapes (photographs) and pictures of animals fighting (because I wanted to draw pokemon fighting for an action-y piece (though there were some fairly gore-y pictures so if you're sensitive to that, beware)).
So yeah, if you have a pokemon that you particularly like, you should definite start there and then read up on them for where they live (on Bulbapedia) and then find some awesome pics for reference~

Karura-Art In reply to Aerorwen [2015-10-10 19:53:57 +0000 UTC]

All my ideas are really standard and clichΓ© >__< But I think I can start with selecting a PokΓ©mon and look up some ref pics. Maybe I'll get a flash of inspiration Thank you for the ideas n.n
