Description
Finished up the color work on my Pokemon Shinto Shrine fan art! It was a pretty complicated and detailed piece to color and the lighting plan took some thought and refining to establish, but I think I hit the tranquil yet mysterious mood I was going for. I took inspiration from the shin-hanga movement which succeeded ukiyo-e in the style and colors. I'd like to do more scenes like this in the future!Prints are available! seandonnanart.storenvy.com

Let's not forget that Human Society is mostly based on that of Japan (Ancient, Medieval and Modern).
So you'll probably find Pokemon Shrines that are Shinto-based.

If Pokemon had such visuals I might watched the series!
Really beautiful how you mix modern rendition of old ukiyo-e style! I like the neat held-back but non-bland colours too.

I love the colors and the lighting! It certainly looks like a very peaceful spot. That gyarados fountain is awesome.
