Description
Well, after lots of patience, blood, sweat and tears, here is the final composition of the 1st Generation Legendary bird Pokémon I have been creating for about what feels like a month on and off now.I wish I could have done a bit more with the background to make it look more pleasing, but alas, my computer and Photoshop really slowed down a lot due to the huge size of the final piece. It took me about 10 minutes to save the final composition! (Which was over 240MB) The final JPEG for printing to poster size is nearly 8MB!
But I’m pretty pleased with it overall, and this has been a great learning project for me.
Thanks to all of you who have commented on my WIP’s of the single birds and thanks for all your support too.
Hopefully, once I get my Print account up and running on deviantART, I will be selling this as a print. I am having it printed poster size for a friend and myself. I am excited to see how that one turns out!

OMG this is beautiful, you really made these legendaries look more real that the cartoonseries. Love it!
Are you ever planning to do the secondgeneration legendaries? Ho'oh, Lugia, Suicine, Raikou and Entei?
Suicune is my favourite

Pokemon look so much cooler when they're made to be realistic. Superb work. The anatomy is spot on.

What size res were you working at? 600 dpi at 8 1/2 by 11?
Either way, I like the personality you give each bird and how you base them off of real birds. You can really see all the work that went into this.

Thank you! Oh, gosh, well my canvas size was huuuge, and I think I initially worked at 600dpi for the birds, all seperately, and then dropped it to 300 when I added the background. My computer was lagging MAJORLY!
