Description (I'll upload the story for this piece when I'm less lazy.)

This is the companion to the other deviantation, Glittering Sun . (The names, if you live under a rock, were what people thought the GS remakes were gunna be named before they came out with Heart Gold and Soul Silver. I personally like the sound for the titles better. )

Oh, oh my god. Lugia. LUGIA. IS EASILY 300% EASIER TO DRAW AND COLOR THAN HO-OH. THIS TOOK HALF THE TIME AND THEN SOME <3333

This piece is a total contrast to Ho-Oh...Then agian, those two are completely different as well. Whereas Ho-Oh is the live-giver and bird of peace, I see Lugia as almost being more a bird of chaos. Almost. I mean, it flaps its wings and BAM! You got yourself a heavy hurricane or some crazy shit like that! I personally think that because Lugia was so upset after Brass Tower burned and the Pokemon died, it doesn't know how to control its emotions. Something like that. Hence the darker colors.

Iiiiiiiii've only done a sea before once, and that was...damn, back in 06 I think. So this was a new experience. Water, in general, is hard. I didn't want to go too crazy, but I did want to give the impression of Lugia submerging after several years or something.

Three guesses what's in the background (BESIDES SEA YOU NOOBS.)

I'm dun rambling. Time for breakfast and depositing checks!

The Lugia's name is Haku, btw, courtesy of 's character. I steals the name for any Lugia now because of her awesomeness.

Lugia belongs to Nintendo, Gamefreak, etc.

when i saw this picture i thought it was so beautiful, and you right lugia is easier to draw then ho-oh on ho-oh i always get the head and tail feathers wrong in some way.

crateshya In reply to Dragontamer333 [2010-09-30 16:41:33 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! And I completely agree. Lugia's just a few lines and colors whereas Ho-Oh spams it and COLORS.

OHOHOH ITS THE THREE ISLANDS OF THE LEDGENDARY BIRDS. MOLTRES, ARTICUNO, AND ZAPDOS. I forget what they are exactly called since its been years since I saw the movie...>.>"


But great Lugia! ILOVE the shiny affect you added on his skin from the moon I suspect is above him. C:

soulfireXchaos In reply to Lonely-Wizard [2016-06-12 16:17:35 +0000 UTC]

The Orange Islands. I don't remember them mentioning the name of the island they landed at where they were celebrating a festival but Lugia was sleeping between the four islands beneath the ocean floor.
