Well, after about 4 days, here's the latest in my series of controled brushstrokes.
Seriously, I'm so happy with how this turned out!Well, this started when I noticed after drawing Xerneas that if you placed the "veins" on Yveltals body between Xerneas' antlers, it looked somewhat like a tree to me. They also mentioned a DNA theme, and going back to the tree I noticed before, I had the idea of using the Tree of Life. But I wasn't sure how to make it work. The next day, they released their names and I immediately thought "Yveltal/Xerneas, sounds Celtic or Nordic", and I thought of using a Celtic theme and tying everything together into a storybook-like illustration. After that, every element just fell into place until I knew this was what I was going to draw...and then I saw this article: [link] And I was even more happy I decided to go with the theme of a giant tree.
I'm so excited for this game, you just have no idea.
Anyway, yeah. I know, the poses aren't all that special, but hopefully someone likes this.
Texture used:
Anyway, enjoy you guys!

For lack of a better word, this looks really cool. I love how you hid Xerneas in the tree. The way you handled this work really makes it look like the illuminated manuscripts of the monks way back when. Nicely done.

Cool, I like it that you showed the different eyes of the legendaries. The whole concept reminds me of Ygdrasil, but the only starter I dig is the fox ;]

My deviations inbox has been flooded with fan art of these new Pokemon but none as stunning as this.
What medium is this?

When you said brush strokes I thought it might have been a water color or something but I thought to myself. "It looks digital," so I figured I'd ask. In any case, amazing work.
