Description It travels great distances,
bringing light in it's jeweled crown,
The Majesty of Forests.

I told you I would draw Xerneas, too! This picture just took way more time than I ever thought. But I think I'm entitled to feel proud of the finished work. And I must say, I'm damn proud.
Xerneas is one of the most beautiful Pokemon designs to date, hands down. It's grace and majestic appearance surpasses Arceus any day. This is what I call a legendary Pokemon. This is what I would call a god Pokemon. It is true that Xerneas resembles the Deer God from Princess Mononoke a lot, but I think it does so in a good way.
There is so little known about this Pokemon, but what I think, Xerneas could represent light. Or life. It would go well with its counterpart, Yveltal, that could represent either sound or death, in contrast to Xerneas.

This was very, very educating and interesting to do. I almost lost my mind a great many times, but I'm surprised my patience allowed me to work with the same quality to the end. It was really hard to put my pen down and say "I'm done". But I think I'm done now. For real. And I really like the outcome.
I hope you like it, too!

My first version of Yveltal:
