Description I know I said I wouldn't have time for art for a while, but I actually ended up with less work than I thought (or, I just decided to procrastinate on the long-term stuff. I'm gonna hate myself for that later)

Been meaning to draw my Reshiram and Zekrom gijinkas for a while
Character rants:
Zekrom (Ebony) is definitely the fighter of the two. She’s brave and bold, striking first in battle and not afraid to step into a conflict if need be. She’s well-suited for physical combat and wears thick armor. She wields her tail (“Thor”) in battle, but due to its difficult shape she uses it more as a melee weapon than a sword. She can also spin it and use it as a drill-like weapon, but that’s harder to pull off. As for long-range attacks, she can shoot bolts of lighting from Thor, but they’re hard to aim and short-lived. Only Ebony can lift Thor off the ground: for her it’s like waving around a baseball bat, but for anyone else it would be like trying to lift an anvil.

Seeing scantily-clad female Zekrom gijinkas just grinds my gears, for whatever reason. I wanted to make my Zekrom gijinka less fanservicey and more badass-y. Zekrom's design reminds me of a gargoyle or a suit of armor, so I wanted to keep that sort of medieval feel. Hence the Saber look . Also, I used this figure for pose reference.

I have a Reshiram gijinka piece sketched out, but it's not as good and/or exciting. Might redraw it before I get to coloring.

Seeing scantily-clad gijinkas in general grinds my Klinks. This restores my ever-dwindling hope for humanity for a while.

Also, check out ~ArtistDeidra if you can; she makes awesome anthros.

Love it!
Fantastic
And yeah, fanservice gjinkas... are disturbing sometimes O_o
Though female!Zekrom gjinkas are sooo rare despite Zekrom's theme that... ehhh, can't be picky

I'm glad you like it!

I don't know why female Zekroms aren't more common, especially since the Yin force that Zekrom represents is more associated with femininity... oh well

Bjarru In reply to Quilofire [2012-03-01 19:56:42 +0000 UTC]

Same goes to Reshiram XD
But yeah, western and eastern beliefs are pretty different. I guess western people just are not very familiar with the concept of Taoism. For an example in western countries white colour means innocence. And in plenty of eastern and even Slavic areas it's the colour of death. Black means dark and dark means something bad. But in Taoism it's a symbol of the night, the moon and motherly women...
Sorry for my rant XD

I love how you have the warrior concept of the gijinka than the typical fanservice kind. It's not like legendary pokemon can go running around fighting wearing barely anything at all

So pretty! Yeah, slutty gijinkas bother me a little.

Tangent time: I tried to draw you a sketch of N, but he ended up looking like a messed-up lovechild of Robert Plant and Fabio. And he was crying.

I agree with you about overly-Feminine Zekrom Gijinkas, It's a Freaking Electric Tyrannosaurus-Dragon for Pete's Sake! it Deserves to be a Badass
same goes for Reshiram, being a Fiery Wolf-Archaeopteryx thing, It deserves Badassery as well. Heck ALL Legendaries deserve it

lovin' this Design c:

Oops better redesign my vocalrona gijinka-- *SHOT* (Well, she was meant to look tribal-y because of Relic Castle ruins and blah.)
If anything, I think those designs weren't directed towards "brawler" and more like "Show-off." :/ I haven't really put much thought into this. orz

BUT ALL THAT ASIDE. I think this is one of the best Zekrom gijinks out there ;w;

Quilofire In reply to Pikaripeaches [2011-11-12 01:56:12 +0000 UTC]

I mean there's definitely a difference between "blatant fanservice" and "design based on a theme". Like if the gijinka is supposed to be a belly dancer or something, it makes sense for them to be a bit exposed.
There are lots of different fighting styles, but skimpy clothes don't make sense on a close-range fighter, really :/ I guess dresses don't either but shhh
There's this trend with female knights to give them armor that protects everything but the boob area, and that's just dumb.

R-really? Thanks! ;w; I'm glad you think so!

Saber!Zekrom is a cool idea! I like it!

Why is it that other people make their gijinka fanservicy and stuff? It's not that nice to look at, really. I like more badass stuff like Ebony here.

I don't know >_> I mean I wouldn't mind drawing one of my [male] gijinkas in a fanservicey outfit once or twice, but to have that be their only outfit is just... eh. You can't battle in something like that.
