Description
This is the result of getting an overdose of oriental themed movies. Afew days ago I watched Mulan, the next day I wathced Kung Fu Panda and two days later I watched Kung Fu Panda 2. I had to let that out in somehow.I don't know why I picked Lugia and Ho-Oh for this one. Well, I do like it, though. I've never really drawn anything that resembled the old Japanese art style this much. I have to say I really enjoyed painting this and I think I might do something similar in the future. :>
I hope you like it!

Thanks! :> I've been thinking about making a couple of prints of this for a convention becauase it seems there are people who are interested in buying it. I might sell the leftovers later. It's still a couple of months before the con and I've got nearly nothing done so we'll see. :'>

If you end up having leftovers and do make a print! Let me know! 
Though I think it would be gorgeous on a wallscroll! x3

I will! A wallscroll would be great but I'm not sure if I can do that. I'll try to make bigger pritns, though. :>

This is absolutely divine!
You should get it printed onto a mug or something!
(On a related note, I would totally buy said mug).

Thanks!
It'd look nice on a mug. I've been thinking about taking some prints of this and selling them in a con but a printed mug isn't a bad idea either!

Thank you very much! :>
I'm trying to find new ways to apply this medium. I've already done a good bunch of Japanese styled paintings.

Oh, sugar honey iced tea, this is cool! It looks so intricate, and the shading is amazing. It looks like something that would be painted on a Japanese temple.

Thank you!

Very nice. I love the way you did Lugia's nearer wing, the waves, the clouds- the background in general. I have a very hard time with that style.

I'm glad to hear you do.

This is awesome. Pokemon Gold and Silver are the games that have more japanese influence in them, so is a good choice for a oriental theme pic.

Thanks!
I agree. I think all the Johto legends would look great in Japanese style. I think the beast trio will be the subject of my next painting.

I would love to see it.
