Description
Crowley never liked the Rail Train. The idea of traveling UNDERGROUND was disgusting, the wagons were crowdy and the ride was boring. It beat sitting in the Pokeball though, and so, despite all she didn't like about the CURL, she would settle down on James's shoulder and impatiently wait until their stop.She hardly ever payed attention to the other passengers, however this day her interest was sparked by the companion of a green-nosed man who happened to be IPL's Judge Concore. Next to the Judge was settled a strange, grass monkey, a species she has never seen before. She was intrigued, and upon making eye contact with the Yanappu, she found herself being met with the same curiosity.
It took no longer then a second when both Crowley and Valli jumped at each other, exchanging playful, halfhearted blows. The Yanappu used Acrobat to maneuver amongst the surprised passengers further down the train, only to be swiftly Mirror Moved by Crowley, who, thanks to her copying Valli's moves, quickly pursued the monkey.
It took James and Concore a couple of seconds to realize what happened and both dashed after their companions, squeezing through the crowd and small wagon doors to try and catch up to and stop the skirmish.
VS Concore
Long flavor text is long.
ALSO, CAMEO EXTRAVAGANZA.
I really liked making the interior of the wagon. I'm getting better at these! ;v;
I made a lot of people grinning or frowning, what up with that.

Oh geez, this is just cool.
And just....so lively. The colors, expressions, poses, the whole style; it just all comes together with so much energy
Heck it's fun just going back and looking at it another five or ten times. You always notice something new :3

d'aww happy crowley having fun how ADORABLE ALSGHK that little backstory is so cute! alsgdh
i love the atmosphere of this one. partially because it contains derrien and teak. but also because it's really natural and well-done. it really looks like the inside of a subway, especially with the addition of the cameos and how they interact with the battle going on. besides that your textures are so ffff wonderful. dat yanappu, man! that fur and those shedding leaves, aaaah it's great. also concore and james wrasslin' in the doorway makes me lol, it's so perfect.
and i am a sucker for crowley's little flight-trails.

Vhu In reply to static-mcawesome [2010-12-18 11:20:55 +0000 UTC]
Well she's not one to start BATTLES TO THE DEAAAATH so a playful battle was the most suitable thing to go with.
I guess the passengers in the compartments are what make it seem like a train. I mean, if it were empty it'd be just weird. AND I HAD SO MUCH FUN WITH CAMEOS. At this point drawing in additional four or five characters is no problem for me. I mean, after the 51 on the Challenger Ball entry, it's... it's just easy.
Thanks for the texture compliment, I didn't think people would notice it so much!
Hehee, when I was sketching the first draft of the battle, the James and Concore wrestling was the first thing I drew in.
Me too. I like drawing them.

YOU ARE A COLOR GODDESS LET ME JUST TELL YOU. Ugh honestly you have just been improving exponentially, it's lovely to watch! WHERE DO I START?
- The lighting on Gulpin-guy is great; I love how the color cast is most saturated where he's closest to the light! It's a nice, unexpected touch of realism and it really makes the piece stand out more. :>
- CROWLEY! I love her smug little face. The outline around her is a bit distracting, though; maybe making it a little more transparent would help put her back into the scene, so to say? She seems sort of isolated by the lightness of it.
- Your perspective is fantastic. The exaggeration serves its purpose well and nothing looks out of place, but this isn't my strong point, so HEY. It looks pretty sweet to me.
- The highlighted part of Concore's pants is very close to his shirt color; I think it's more values than anything! The contrast is just slightly fuzzier than the rest of the piece, is all. Minor nitpick.
- Ordinarily I love your TEENSY TINY FEET but the man in the foreground's feet look ESPECIALLY SO! I think it's seeing the scale of his hands next to them that's weirding me out--ignore my stylistic nitpicks I am just BLABBERING AT THIS POINT
- MOST IMPORTANTLY I love Valli's little fuzzy butt the most. Is that weird? It's weird, but it's so true HOW CAN'T I? Texture = beautiful. Colors = gorgeous. MASTERY ALL UP IN THIS GRASS MONKEY.
tl;dr: This is amazing and probably one of my favorite pieces of yours.
