Description
Disturb not the harmony of Fire, Ice or Lightning, lest these titans wreak destruction upon the world in which they clash.
Though the water's Great Guardian shall arise to quell the fighting, alone its song will fail, and thus the Earth shall turn to Ash.
O Chosen One, into thine hands bring together all three. Their treasures combined tame the Beast of the Sea.
From the Trio of Islands, ancient spheres shall you take, for between life and death all the difference you'll make.
Climb to the Shrine to right what is wrong, and the world will be healed by the Guardian's song. [link]
Shamouti Prophecy
My contest entry for *Phaaze22 's contest and also a fan art. For a really long time I've been expecting to draw Lugia and the timing couldn't be more perfect.
Anyway... it's been a really long time since I drew a Lugia for the last time. Last time it was in 2009 I guess. I was extremely rusted and had no improvement in this character since that time. I had to do many scraps, doodles and sketches before I could do this and even so I still had to use refs.
My source of inspiration was The Chosen One, by B-52's from the PokΓ©mon 2000 soundtrack and gosh, this song is amazing! o3o
This picture brings improvements and the use of new effects I've never done before as well as old ones that had got tweaks like the clouds for example. As for stuff that I did for the very first time I guess you can count the aurora glow for example.
This piece took me quite some time to do but was fun and worth it. :3 I was eager to finish it.
I hope you guys like it.

Whoa, you're surely improving with each deviation <3 As always, the BG is lovely, especially the clouds! I love how you've drawn Lugia as well!
My only suggestion would be to darken the center area of Lugia's body a bit more; I think it'd give him a more ominous feeling. Other than that, it's superb as always! <3
Also, FUN FACT: Don't you find it funny that when the prophecy written above says "the world will turn to Ash", people think that the world shall ask for a boy's assistance instead of thinking that phrase means the world will blow up and turn into ash? XD

Thank you! ^^
Oh yeah, I have thought of that and was going to do it, but then I had the idea to include his aura. Because of its luminosity the shadow on him had to be weaker.
Oooh, these people on the Pokemon world. Always looking at the bright side of life.

Thanks. ^^ That's supposed to be the reflex of Lugia's aura. If you go on full view you'll see it.
