Description
I have been thinking about teams with colors red and blue versusing each other lately. The first thing that comes up to my mind is the Cold War. The Cold War is a war of propaganda, spies, and media between the two superpowers: the USSR (red) and the USA (blue).It's difficult to understand at first, but if you thinking more about it, you might get it.
Instead of Team Magma and Aqua fighting for land and water, how about idealogies? Team Magma would represent socialism, and Team Aqua would represent capitalism.
I decided to try something new for this deviation. Completely new. Instead of using the burn tool to do my cell-shading, I discovered a new way to shade with less problems, thanks to this tutorial: [link] It's far easier than using the burn tool and scribbling it all over the place.
From my view, the shading looks better when it's hard with a little soft touch, not scribbled and too soft. I am glad that I made this improvement. About the hair...I am going to keep it the same way it is.
I am trying to make this picture look like a Soviet-style propaganda poster, but I am not really the type of person who makes propaganda posters, even though I tend to support socialism and liberalism.
Translation for text above: Workers of Hoenn Region! Unite!
P.S: I was wanting to add Sapphire to this picture, but uhh...she deflected to Team Aqua.
In Kanto, you command Pokemon to use Rock Smash. In Soviet...I mean Magma Hoenn, Pokemon commands you to use Rock Smash!
I was wanting to give Ruby a working class outfit, but he looks better as a soldier, he's supposed to look like a Soviet solider, but he looks more like a PLA soldier. xD Also, Kagari looks like Cooking Mama in a soviet style, even though she's supposed to look like a factory worker. I think Kagari is more interested in Ruby than Team Magma's idealogy.
I wanted to add in a statue but with Maxie's body and face, but it's too much for me, so I drew out factories, and a communist-style Team Magma logo.

Haha, this is an interesting idea. I'd like to see opposing or allied teams baseed on commies and nazis (preferaby Soviet Union-eque and Third Reich-esque) in some gen , I think closest to that was Rocket and Flare. And then perhaps in third game - liberal/capitalist team (based on US/Allies) fighting with both.

Yeah, I have to agree with you, especially on his right arm, it should be a bit thicker, it's a bit too thin.

My paper wasn't wide enough to draw his elbow. I would have added his elbow though, then it would have looked better. I don't mind criticisms, as long as it's tolerable for me to reply it back.

I guess that deviant wasn't really able to accept his/her mistakes.
Artists who are willing to improve their art have to learn how to tolerate criticism, and accept them. Not only in art, but in life. Everyone gets criticized.
You can criticize whatever you want to say, as long as it's not to the extreme and reasonable.

The soviets made good posters back the days. If only they haven't overspend their military and space programs, they would have been here today.
Communism only works if everyone is willing to cooperate. I guess not everyone's ready. It does work in theory, but not in our hands.

i agree. they tried so much to outgun america they bankrupted themselves. in an ideal society, communism would rule. it only works if everybody is willing to put their best effort knowing they won't benefit promotion-wise. but unfortuneatly most people won't do their very best just for their country. they need something in exchange.that's why the american democracy works. because it takes the natural errors of humans into account. my social studies teacher taught me most of that. he is a wise man.

In Kanto, your Pokemon fights for you.
In Magma Hoenn, you fight for your Pokemon!
