Description Commissioned by .

Man, this was a long one. Or it felt long anyway; college stuff and... other stuff got in the way. But now that it's half-term and I pretty much have no College left this year, I have all the time in the world to work on this drawing. Remember when I initially said I was going to complete this commission though before I got to the rest? Yeah... good thing I didn't stick with that.
Now this was difficult. At the beginning, I struggled to get the pose of Riolu down and after many attempts, I kinda got it down, but then was the background; the next hardest thing. The background is actually mainly inspired by Gunvolt's city design. Now just ruined, but one of the hardest things was that... Well I'm a big Nintendo fan and part of my that makes me stick with them is their colour choices are bright and kid-friendly, but this well, isn't. I used monochrome colours as an overlay to make the place look more dull.
I also noticed I put a crap ton of effects in this one just to make this stick out. I wanted to make the Riolu look more powerful and I suppose this was one way of doing it, but I suppose I wanted to make this over-the-top-ish because this commission was meant to be done last time I opened commissions some time ago (When was that, anyway?)
By the way, that isn't Aura Sphere, it's Focus Blast... Just to let you all know.

Riolu of Pokemon belongs to Nintendo and Game Freak
Art belongs to me

That's some fierce Riolu. I also like that red "eye" effect!
Nicely done!

I'm...not sure if I agree with this or not. I love them both, but I've been in a Riolu kind of mood lately. :/

I agree. XD But I was just being told to draw this, so not entirely in my control.

XD yea. If you couldn't tell by my attitude, Lucario is my #1 favorite PokΓ©mon. Now if only in next gen he gets a speed bump to base 95...

You've done really well on this one! There's a lot of background details, the cracks look detailed but everything sticks with your kinda cartoony style. Though the Riolu's legs look a little long, this all in all looks great!
