Description A new pokemon from X&Y! I went all out on this, its not very often i paint a background, so any opinions would be welcome! The light coming from the pokeball was a challenge, im still not overly fond of it, but i got tired of my endless tweakings!

I feel like im improving im pretty proud of this piece. ummm watch out if you download it...its HUGE, lol i dont know how to resize it.

Thanks for looking and enjoy! ^^

This is fantastic.

Litleo looks as if it is a cheetah or a lioncub, the grass and sky goes spectacular with the pokeball energy catching the little lion/cheetah creature. This truly impressive scenery is amazing. You can see the forest right behind Litleo. You can also see the grass roots and clearly detailed rocks and ground-floor that brings the viewer into the Pokemon World. A strange yet curious world with adorable animals.
The eyes, wow, that is impressive, the shine coming from the eyes and eyebrow are another magnificent thing itself.
Love the fire mane on Litleo's head! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="366" title=" (Big Grin)"/> Gorgeous :3

This is really beautifully done. Litleo and Pyroar are my new favorite Pokemon (huge considering my old favorites, Growlithe and Arcanine, have been my favorites since I was a kid). I am normally not a fan of Pokemon art done with a more realistic style, but this is the best fan art of Litleo I have ever seen. Great job.

Despite of fact that I don't like fire pokemon, the more I'm finding great Litleo drawings, such as this, the more I want to catch it when I will be plaing the Pokemon X/Y. Awesome work

Awesome job, I love it! I'm SO glad they finally made a fire cat! I've been waiting for a fire cat since second generation! This generation shows a lot of promise already, I can't wait to see Litleo's evolutions (I'm assuming it'll be similar to shinx, with 2 evolutions)

I like this a lot. You say that you went all out on it, and it really shows. I really like the realistic look you've introduced to Litleo's design while still keeping it recognizable. The addition of cub spots and turning the red head fluff into actual flames are changes that I think really flatter and improve on the official concept, too. The face has a very believable big cat cub look to it, meshed beautifully with a bit of adorable cartoon flair that reminds me a tad of the Lisa Frank illustrations I loved so much as a child. And you did a marvelous thing adapting the light-colored facial markings to be more realistic. The eyes have so much life to them, and you did a great job on the Pokeball light effect and how it reflects on the surrounding objects.

Overall, I think the scenery is well done. It gives a great impression of dry savanna, adding interest without distracting from the subject Pokemon and Pokeball. The soft yellow-browns of the grass and subdued dark blues of the sky create a lovely color scheme in combination with Litleo's colors. Nice contrast of warm and cool colors.

The only thing that doesn't sit entirely well with me is the grass texture you used. It looks like the standard Photoshop grass brush, which in addition to having a slightly distracting pixelated look, sticks out to me as an obvious shortcut amid the great effort put into the piece as a whole. I can see places where individual tufts of grass appear to be hand-drawn, such as the small ones right in front of the Pokeball and the rock Litleo is sitting on, and those look gobs better to me and more in keeping with the rest of the piece. There is nothing wrong with using brushes and textures (in fact, I believe I see others in the big rock and distant blurred grasses/bushes in front of the silhouetted trees), but the standard grass is extremely recognizable as such. If you are able, a grass brush you make yourself would provide the same convenience while saying to viewers, "*Azureith 's art" instead of "Standard grass brush was here."

I admit that the grass brush is a personal peeve of mine, but I don't want you to get the wrong idea, as I think what you have created here is simply superb overall. This piece is a definite fav for me. <3 You have an admirable artistic eye and the skills to back it up. Congratulations on creating such a lovely artwork, and keep it up!

This is definitely the CUTEST Litleo I've seen so far.
It makes me want to do some fan art myself!
I can't wait to see its evolution
