Description
The paragraph below contains a bit of what happened in real life, combined with the process of how I did this in MS Paint, with some help from Windows Live Photo Gallery.
----------------------------------

I think I started the sketch for this during 6th period yesterday, then I scanned it late that night. Then today, I got to school, and it was the PSAT testing day, and I wasn't taking the test. It was about 4 class periods long, so I had time to contrast-filter the living shit out of this in Windows Live Photo Gallery on my netbook until I got only black and white pixels (plus a few yellow and green pixels, I think). Then in MS Paint, I clicked "Properties", and under "Colors", I selected "Black and White". I then saved the image, closed MS Paint, and reopened it to have color again. After that, I worked on closing in the lines, paint-bucketed the color, penciled the fire's color, used the curve tool once or twice in the shading process, gave the background a color, and proceeded to extinguish the annoying random white pixels remaining, and refine the lines. And there was still time after that.

Time frame: Approximately 3 hours, possibly more or less.

A bit of advice for those who say they tried the WLPG method and couldn't easily "Paint Bucket" in MS Paint: ---- SAVE IT AS A .TIF FILE! ---- Because there's no noticable loss in quality with .tif files, as opposed to .jpg files.

Mega Hygorus is the mega evolution of one of my fake Pokemon, called Hygorus, which is the end of one of two evolutionary paths of my fake Pokemon Region's Fire type starter Pokemon.
Mega evolution item required: Hygorite
Ability: Flash Fire (Hygorus' ability is Blaze, like every other Fire type starter Pokemon's ability.)New typing: Fire/Dragon (Hygorus is normally a Fire/Flying type)
