Description HUGE FILE IS HUGE.
But I like it that way, cause the eyes look better <3 My computer certainly didn't like it though. This took me about... two, three weeks, because my computer is stupid, so I stopped for a day after finishing one pic. And, well, I'm lazy.

Pictures for Sun's team have been long overdue. I had pictures all drawn out for them (like I did for my team) and I got three of them done, but the more I procrastinated, the more my style changed, and I didn't really want to work on them anymore. So here's a better version, all organized in a nice little chart. Believe me, that Farfetch'd is a hell of a lot better. I also have a slightly new way of coloring eyes, which you can see best on Copper. So we have:

Igneous - A.k.a "Iggy." Sun's starter and the best friend of Undertow and Basil. He's meek and timid, and is the last to evolve to his final stage (he stays as a Quilava for the majority of the journey.) There's a possibility he might be gay, no one knows for sure.
Copper - Obtained as a Pikachu and quickly evolved into a Raichu, Copper is quiet, reserved, but packs quite a punch. He gets along best with Ampere, Frostbite's Pikachu. Copper is also the star of my PMD comic. Because I love him.
Sergeant - An incredibly strict Farfetch'd who takes fighting very seriously. He spends most of the time trying to motivate the two teams. Because of this, he gets along best with Jet the Pidgeotto, who also has a fighting spirit. The other Pokemon call him "Lieutenant Peck."
Rhyolite, Auburn, and Obsidian - I'm actually not sure what the personalities of these three are, but I see them as the "fire dog group" and thus, they wear their bandanna's in a similar way. I see the Growlithe as calm, yet feisty when he wants to be, the Vulpix as a female, plain and simple, and the Houndour as hot-headed.
Iris - The unofficial member, like Lugia, who is considered "the ally." With the collapse of her tower, she's now roaming the skies, looking for her lost companion and worthy trainers. Sunburn is able to meet with her, and she is promised to be reunited with Lugia. Her name comes a messenger god, who was also a goddess of rainbows. (Gold eye’d Ho-oh FTW.)

I love Copper’s eyes, and Rhyolite’s face x3 I tried something different with the lineart (which involved the pen tool, stroking the whole path one at a time, and then fine-tuning it with the eraser; I kinda like it, but I’m probably not gonna use it again, cause it took way too long. And, rah, how does I draw fire? >< I also used a coloring method seen here: [link] to make it “flashy.”

Nice pics ^^ I love them all. It seems to me that the pokemon's type is the color of the background, clever.

Nice picture! I'm liking the rocks and minerals names. I got a Typhlosion called Basalt, maybe they'd get along!

Oh, wow! Those eyes are amazing! Any chance you can tell me how you did them? They would make an excellent addition to any piece of artwork.

lol, it's mostly just a matter of Dodging and Burning (with the pupil on a different layer, in case it needs to be changed), and sometimes painting in the coloring before the dodge and burn. For some eyes, on another layer, I'll scribble in darker lines to balance out the brighter ones (since real eyes have light and dark... stripes or anything like that x3) I can't really explain the whole process, but yeah, Dodge and Burn tools are your friend x3

c: ... CCCC:

I love my Iggy boy. He's such a faggot <333 And Copper. And Serg. And just..ALL OF THEM <3
I figured Ryo had a personality like Kaleb: goofy and just a Mama's Boy, until he evolved, where he'd be serious as Jet and Serg, and pretty much the powerhouse. Auburn would be a sweetie/flirt, which would just be more apparent as a Ninetales. Obsid would be sorta like Delila; calm to a point, but also with a bad temper/cruel streak :>

So damn pretty D:
Still love the idea of Serg holding onto Sun's badges for her x3

I love to do eyes, but they only come out nice if the pictures huge D: And like, red eyes don't Dodge well, and everything seems to have red eyes.

You should, Pokemon are fun x3
