Description So I sort of fell in love with Decidueye. Coolest freakin' Pokemon ever. It may as well be my favorite Pokemon, out of every single one. Badass Grass/Ghost type owl archer thing? Yes please.

So here's a little fan art. And man, it was a journey. I nearly gave up in the sketching phase. I was having a really hard time getting the pose and lines of action right. But I figured it out-- The key was using a big ol' triangle and dividing it up. That pretty much set the foundation for the entire pose and I think it turned out really well because of that. I tried so many new techniques in this picture, so it was a great learning experience. I especially had fun playing around with the colors.

And of course I make the silly mistake of not even thinking about the background until after I pretty much finished the character. So, backgrounds are obviously not my strong point. I have much more fun just drawing characters, so I get lost in that and the background is often an afterthought. I wanna change that and get good at proper backgrounds, perspective and all. Soonβ„’.Β 

Well, that's my little anecdote about this piece... Anyways, enjoy, and please let me know what you think!

Also you could probably use this as a desktop background if you wanted!

Primarina is my favorite because I have a soft spot for mermaids and seals, but Decidue is literally RIGHT behind it on love <3

I can respect that, I've seen a lot of cool Primarina art. I didn't really care for Popplio at first but that evolution definitely won me over!

Man this looks great, can't wait to get my hands on the game. I still have to suffer until Wednesday though, stupid EU.

At first I wasn't sure if I liked any of the starter's final evolutions after seeing the leaks, but after a while (and a bunch of great fanart) pretty much all of them grew on me. I was still hoping for an awesome fire tiger or something similar (at least on all fours), but I guess I'll have to take what I can get. At least shiny Incineroar (not sure if that's correct, typing this from memory) looks like a golden Tiger, so that's definitely something I will have to get in the future.

All in all though Decidueye looks and feels the best. Thinking about it, all bird starters have been great so far, I actually picked all of the so far (gen3 & 4), and it looks like I'll continue doing so.

Again, great piece of fanart, and as Garuda already said, I think the background fits too! Maybe put some more light in the foreground plus a fitting hard shadow (think of a spotlight), otherwise the well-lit Decidueye here clashes a bit against the dark background, making it feel a tiny bit out of place.

Keep it up!

Oh yeah, I totally agree about Incineroar. I had such high hopes for Litten... but Incineroar sorta disappointed me. I was totally hoping for some badass quadrupedal tiger. Also, Incineroar's hands bother me... they look weird. But what he lacks in design he makes up for in character, I suppose. So it's not too bad.

And I see what you're saying there. Duly noted! Thanks!
Have fun when you get the game, I've only just started but it looks very promising!Β

Dude, he looks awesome. I didn't know he was ghost type and it make it even cooler. I would choose him without a doubt.Β 
You really nailed the pose and I like how the simple background puts a ghostly atmosphere.Β

Thanks, glad you like it! Who knew Rowlet would have such a great final evolution?
