Finally finished this one, with only two days to spare :faint:

Its my first fanart for pokemon heart gold and soul silver! 83 I wanted to do some anyway, so this is a perfect oppurtunity. It's based around how the pokemon follow you in the game now, a feature i adore by the way :heart:

This is for a pop culture convention drawing contest, i enter every year. ... Well i've only succesfully entered one year so far XD its a long story. Anyway here's my 2010 entry, here's hoping i win 1st place this year! ^__^

If you're interested, here's what I did for the past two years
2009: elessthehedgecat.deviantart.co…
2008: elessthehedgecat.deviantart.co…

The last two years i did A3 entries, but i realised that its not size the matters, its quality. So focusing my efforts on a smaller A4 piece would be best, so i wouldnt struggle to fill the paper.

It isnt perfect, some of the pokemon look off (what happened to you totodile? ), but i think overall it looks pretty good.

and PLEASE do not whine about a certain favourite pokemon of yours not being included, because 1) It was very hard to include so many pokemon in such a small space, 2) I wasnt too biased about the choices, i chose a few of my favourites and the rest were picked because they could fit and 3) I just couldnt give a toss. ^__^

I hope you enjoy this! 83

EDIT::

There's been a bit of a misunderstanding apparently. Some of you have thought that I ripped off one of :iconcartoongirl7:'s artwork, which is a beautifully done piece by the way. However I assure you that this is not the case. There are a lot of similarities between the two, but this is purely coincidental.

When i drew this, my only inspirations were the games, and also the anime.

I have discussed this with :iconcartoongirl7:, and the issue has been sorted out. So no further comments or arguments are required. Any comments about the matter will be ignored.

First off, I'd like to say that I really like the fading and splitting of the background. It's probably my favorite part of the piece.
Regarding the rest of the piece: the way you drew the Pokemon is quite simple, very close to the original style. I feel that takes away from the picture, having the anatomy loose and such.
I also like the reflective, deep shading in Suicune's mane and Marril's tail, and I would have loved to see that sort of detail and depth in the rest of the picture.
It's a very common thing, and a hard habit to break, but I also see that you ink the outlines of the color on the Pokemon, such as on Ampharos' neck and Furret's body. I believe this looks much better if inking is left to three-dimensional parts of their bodies, not a difference in skin or fur pattern.
Those are my two-cents, congrats on getting front-page.
