-------------------
My entry for MT Knockout round 3 , I lost though...
The theme for the round was "non-human Art Nouveau". I've always wanted to try Art Nouveau, but never had the motivation.
At first I was thinking to do Robot Unicorn Attack wallpaper, but then I started playing Pokemon (I think I'm obsessed these days thanks to HeartGold XD), and decided to do a Pokemon wallpaper instead.
Some possibilities I considered were: Charizard, Articuno, Ho-oh and Lugia. But I ended up with this one 'cause I like the "fire and ice" idea
I procrastinated until like 5 days before the deadline before working on it, thanks to playing Pokemon in my free time >__< The stupid frame in the middle took me forever! I don't even know why it took so long....
I originally wanted to do some ice/snowflake and fire designs for the side panels, and have the text there. But at the last minute I decided to paint something symbolic: Mt. Ember on the left for Moltres, and Seafoam Cave on the right for Articuno, where those birds were originally found. The text ended up not fitting in anywhere, so I didn't put it in.
I'm not sure if I like the colours aside from the oranges and blues.. it's hard to find a neutral colour scheme that isn't hot or cold or boring
Thanks to ~theonlyXns for help and suggestions etc.

thank you very much
I used Paint Shop Pro for most of it, and Paint Tool SAI for the background.

Very clean lines, and the colors are nicely balanced! I'm not even a Pokemon fan, and I really like this for itself!

This is a cool picture, I really like the backrounds you gave for both of them, they fit with Moltres and Articuno, who are two of my favorite pokemon in the whole series. I like the whole "Fire and Ice thing you did for them, I don't know whether to say it's cool or hot XD.,

MapleRose In reply to remomo [2010-07-24 19:53:05 +0000 UTC]
thanks Articuno's one of my fave Pokemons by looks, and Moltres is awesome too.
haha, I'd say it's both
