Description
Ok, this took AGES. There's quite an interesting story behind this one. I planned to draw a picture in between commissions, and so I sketched a few things out last week (including this piece) but none of them were satisfactory.. I must have scrapped about 10 of them before I finally came up with something. I scanned it and was ready to colour.Few hours later.. I looked at it and thought "It's just not right.." so scrapped that too. Yesterday morning I looked back at my sketch book and noticed this one wasn't so bad after so I scanned it and here is the result!!! Lets see then.. 21 layers in total and about 6-7 hours work I'd say.

I like the composition of this--the way Lugia's and Articuno's wings parallel each other is cool.

Body looks almost right (might be turned a bit too much towards the front, it's hard for myself to turn my body like that ^_^). Neck could be more on a 1:1 ratio (like a snake), it's large and gets very small very fast. Back of lugia could be seen right behind neck. Unsure of cuno's long body, not a bird atomistic. Good light effects, expression. You dont have to answer to anything I say XD and it's just all suggestions, alright?

Photoshop
Wow, how did you make such a soft and smooth effect on photoshop?
I thought drawings from photoshop tend to look quite hard.

All my art is done in Photoshop, it all depends on what brushes you use, it has all sorts.

May I ask which brush you use for the soft feeling for the sea, please?

Just a round brush with 0% hardness and various pixel sizes.

You have a nice, warm and harmonius style. That is something that attracted me...maybe was the goal of this picture, makes feel well for ourselves looking for that picture.
Great job pal, keep on.
