Description
EDIT [03/11/09]:Played around with High Pass and blendmodes in PS, and surprisingly came to a rather pleasing result.
The image appears much less "washed out" now.

The Agility tail isn't the wrong-way around; I figure, as soon as Ledian shifts from Agility to Comet Punch, the line will dissipate from both ends. Anyway:
Commentator #1: “...Ledian zips across the arena with Agility, forming a lovely, blue tail behind it! As quickly as the speed-line dissipates, Ledian breaks the chase and closes in to strike with Comet Punch! Lightening fast, it's unavoidable in most instances, but coupled with Agility, Comet Punch is harder and faster than ever! Poor Togekiss won't know what hit him!”
[Crowd roars as Togekiss suffers a critical hit]
Commentator #2: “It's quite―appropriate, don't you think? Blue-ish, ionised gasses and dust particles tailing behind as Ledian's fists comet towards its foe!”
Commentator #1: “Great imagery here tonight, folks―Oh! Togekiss plummets to the ground; its sustained serious damage from that last attack! Man, this is gonna huuuuurt!”

This is entirely amazing... Your colors...!! They look matted but the look so natural and smooth too!! Not to mention your brilliant use of lighting and shading... I am very very very impressed <333

It's interesting, post-painting adjustments in PS really brought out the loose nature of my painting style. I quite like the "matted" look, so try to avoid very smooth blends.
Thanks for the kind words!

I really like how you did his transparent-inner wings. 
I really like the scoreboard too,
I'd like to know how you did it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The scoreboard itself is just painted normally on a single layer, nothing too fancy there. But, the illuminated text, it's a few layers.
Erm, from memory, it's something like this:
L3= Duplicate of L2 w/ blendmode: Overlay (? Just a guess.)
L2= Duplicate of L1 w/ Gaussian Blur and blendmode: Screen (? Just a guess.)
L1= Orignal lettering
Colour Dodge and Pin Light are other blendmodes I may have used.

Ledian is underappreciated, sadly. It's a neat, little bug.

i'm definitely having one on my team when i get soul silver. along with my beedrill. i'm going to raise a team of badass muthafuckas of pokemon no one cares about. dunsparce should be on there too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sounds awesome! Especially with a Dunsparce in the mix!
Funny you should mention Beedrill -- it's another undervalued bug I like. Those needles are totally badass.

i love beedrill <3 he's on my firered team. its kind of sitting in my drawer right now, but i plan to defeat E4 with him in the mix.
it would be awesome to see you draw beedrill sometime <3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, that's a good idea! I might just do that! Haven't drawn any Beedrill fan-art, myself.
And, you're still playing FireRed? Wow, I haven't so much as looked at my FR cart in a few good years. Mind you, FR/LG are awesome games. I hope HG/SS do the originals as much justice.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well, after getting re-obsessed with pokemon when i got diamond, i bought emerald and firered after beating E4 in sinnoh to try out the other games. :] so i've only recently started playing it.
i'm sure HG/SS will do the johto region justice. the game looks great...and for the original G/S/C fans, you can change the route music to the classical versions rather than the revamped themes. i cant wait for march! <3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, my gosh! I didn't know you can change the music!
I'm going to OD on nostalgia, ha ha!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha, well be sure to reserve a copy of the game for yourself!

Not long now, eh? I'm starting to get hyped for it!
Heart Gold for me. What about you?
