Description EDIT: Removed the blue and yellow light flash effect. I thought it was hard on the eyes. What do you think? good? bad?

This was originally supposed to be finished over a month ago as a tribute, but I've spent much longer on it that I expected to.

I'd have to say I'm rather proud of it, even if the ground may not look the best. I didn't use any textures like I had considered, and I developed my own way of shading my subjects that doesn't include any sort of erasing or dodge/burn tools.

I would like to thank for aiding in some of the line art for Arcanine. I have trouble with forelegs still, but I'm getting the hang of it.

This was inspired by two of my dA heroes, and especially . Without their arts and openness to conversation, this piece may not have been finished at all.

I'll upload the progress into my scraps. In all, this took 11 different draw/color times. I learned a lot in creating this, so in the future I hope I won't have to experiment as much as I did here.

Feel free to leave any feedback or comments regarding the techniques or any artistic approach.

The guy's going to Hell and the lady was trying to save them by saying "collection plate" like they have at church. I'm surprised people actually said those two answers. HA HA HA
And the host was trying to be a smart ass about the JOINT. He wouldn't even let the guy touch him

Ahh sorry for taking a while to comment on this! I'm glad you got to finish it though xD

...And Silky's comment pretty much covered what I was gonna say haha SILKY DARN YOU
It came out great though, all the time you put into it paid off! Those rocks look great, and the swirl effect you used for the farther off rocks is very interesting, haven't see anything quite like that done before xD
And I really like Politoed's shine, and especially those streams of water around him <33

Thank you! c:

And thanks. Glad you liked it. You guys are real inspiring. I wanna do better.

HOKAY comment tiem BD
sorry I didnt comment earlier I didnt wanna leave anything short sdhgfshjd

FIRSTLY I love that you put the fur detail on the arcanine, I think it came out especially well on the side. xD <3
and the fire looks fine, don't worry. ouo <3
also, I think those swirl effects in the background are really neat, I've never seen them used for rock.
Plus stalactites/stalagmites=WIN <3
I gotta say though, you did very well on the water/fire. xD It looks anime-ish, but that just suits the picture even more. ouo
And you paid good attention to detail, like how politoed is shiny from its skin and arcanine's fur~
Also, that colorful glare is like, confusing the heck out of me but I really love it. xD
(confusing as in I don't know how you did it but gosh do I love the outcome <3 )

I'm glad I can be of help to you, it's the least I can do to return the favor of people who've helped me. I can really see potential in this, so keep drawing and don't give up! c:
And thank you for this, tails <33
I really love it c:

Thanks! I am not good with anatomy, but what percentage of pictures on here do you see with 100% accuracy? xD

Yea. I like how the water and the shading came out. (especially on arcanine's fur)
