Description EDIT: Here is it's companion picture; Lugia [link]

Well here it is, earlier than I thought I'd finish it too O.o probably cause I got a bit lazy on refining some of the details but this has been sitting un-worked on for a while so I wanted to polish it off and not feel guilty about leaving it to sit any longer.

I really love how the colors turned out, that's what I was experimenting with the most on this picture, trying to combine cool and warm colors and give it a lot more depth, I did better than my last attempt but I still have quite a bit to go. I also reaaally like the clouds :3

I also had fun making Ho-oh look sort of vultur-ish and scary bahahahahaa

yay HG & SS are now confirmed to be released in Japan September 12, 2009!

I'm not sure what I'd do for Lugia but I might manage something >_>;;;

Art is mine (except the copy pasted HG logo in the top corner)
If you want to use this for something, just ask me, I'll probably say yes, just check first please

This is absolutely beautiful. When people render Ho-oh, they tend to leave out or edit the vulture-ness of its face. But you have it here, and I thinks that's awesome. Great work!

Thank you, hopefully, I started a pic of him but I need to go back and redo it, so far it looks a bit lame in comparison >_<;;;

kousagi [2009-08-28 08:24:40 +0000 UTC]

Holy crap, this is cool. I love the realistic take on Ho-oh, I always imagined it to be sort of vulture-esque too. Not exactly glamorous like the anime makes it out to be. May I feature this in my September Journal?

Rodentruler In reply to kousagi [2009-08-29 01:54:48 +0000 UTC]

Sure! And thank you very much, some people seem upset by a more vulture-esque Ho-oh so I'm glad others like you enjoy it

Love the idea of vulture!Ho-oh. He always did have a sort of menacing look in his eye...

Rodentruler In reply to Lupine-Radiance [2009-08-12 21:28:31 +0000 UTC]

haha thank you, yes he was always so pretty but had a menacing feel to him at the same time.

lol, Ho-oh looks so awesome as a vulture |'D the calm sunset is a nice foil to his semi-scariness XP
