Description #471 Glaceon/Glacia (グレイシア) The "Fresh Snow Pokemon"
By controlling its body heat, it can freeze the atmosphere around it to make a diamond-dust flurry.

It's supposed to be Route 217, that snowbound route containing the Icy Rock. Kudos to ~zeaeevee for being the first to notice~

Played around a bit more with the background than usual. The background by itself can be found here [link]

Seriously, you did really good with the snow effects here. I found this one picture of a Glaceon which really did well with the icy details:

Check it out, and tell me what you think of it. Also, pls note I'm not the one who made it.

oh yeah, they seem to have played around more with actually icing their glaceon over, whereas I had mostly stuck with powdery snow.

This is an older piece of mine though I do like playing around with snowstorms. Such lovely weather to draw.

I've somewhat been planning to try and draw an iced over Pokemon... But I'm not really sure how to do that for irl. I've come up with a few ideas:
1. I lightly erase parts of the Pokemon as if a thin sheet of ice has formed over then.
2. I draw little light blue specs all over the Pokemon for partial freezing.

I'm not really sure how I would irl draw a Pokemon frozen in thick ice though. You got any idea?

If you mean something akin to completely frozen over then I can only suggest drawing them normally, outlining the ice around them, colouring your subject lightly, and then colouring over all of that with a light grey/blue.

Oh that sounds like a really good idea! Thanks for the idea! You know, maybe you can try something out like that one time. What do you think?

im guessing this glaceon just evolved from an eevee (points to ice stone in the bg)
very cute and nicely done.

though i cant help feel there's something a little off about glaceon. im not sure what it is but something just feels a little off about it. but the bg itself is really nice

Yup, yup~ Glad you caught it! C:

hmm... I personally want to say the body looks too big, but the angle was really hard to do. >.<;

But thanks so much, Zea~

vireosy In reply to Ocelotspirit [2010-12-01 23:07:36 +0000 UTC]

Well... Glaceon... snow... you know? XD

D'aww, thanks so much! 8D The grass is my favorite element in this entire picture. XD But, you know... it's supposed to be route... 47? There's the "Icy Rock" in the grass that allows trainers to evolve their Eevee into a Glaceon.

haha, I'm sure Glaceon can handle herself! X3

haha, it would seem. XD

Yeah, I would've put it in my artist's comment, but I was pressured for time. I'll talk more about it sometime later.

Hey, if a female trainer wearing a skirt, short-sleeved shirt, and puny scarf can bear it, then I think a Glaceon can. XD
