Description
My artwork for Zygarde, the Dragon/Ground-Type "Z" Legendary known as the Order Pokémon from Pokémon X and Y. As soon as it was leaked last night I started drawing it. Had this art finished at 3 a.m. last night but could't get back online to upload it. Based on the images I saw, it seems some of the hexagon-shaped "scale" parts glow or sporadically blink white, so I reflected that in the artwork here. I'm kinda pleased with how this turned out.
Enjoy.
Edit: Added the shiny version.

I like this legendary.
Hexagons are awesome.

so they ARE based on nordic myths

Which ones exactly if I might ask? I've had trouble figuring that out with Xerneas and Yveltal and this puts me back to square one.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's pretty much the Yggdrasil (World Tree) myth from norse Mythology
Yveltal is based on the unnamed eagle flying around the tree. It is sometime described as being blind (shown on Yveltals light blue eyes)
Xerneas is based on the four deer Dáinn, Dvalinn, Duneyrr and Duraþrór eating on the trees branches
Zygarde seems to be based on the Nidhöggr, a dragon that gnaws at the trees roots, which is shown by its typing: Dragon/Ground. His Name could have gotten Influence from "Midgard = home of humans"
I'm not sure about the names of the main two...

I see
And I think bulbapedia can answer Xerneas and Yveltal's name meaning for you.

I thought you were the one wondering about the origins, but okay

I meant the creatures/beings they were based on. Xerneas and Yveltal were introduced early overall so Bulbapedia found out the name meaing quickly
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah and both of their names get mirrored in their designs pretty well

Where do you find these leaked pokemon?

legendary? like volcrona?

Volcarona is not legendary...

Psuedo legendary, like garchomp and dragonite

No, this is not Pseudo, this is the third of the Legendary trio for X and Y. This is the Rayquaza, Giratina, or Kyurem of X&Y.

it looks nothing like the other 2

How does Xerneas look anything like Yveltal? The three are based on the myth of Yggdrasil, the World Tree. Which, in Norse Mythology, was protected by a stag (Xerneas), a bird (Yveltal), and a Snake (Zygarde).

Wait Zygarde doesn't look like a snake its a bug
👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Im pretty sure almost every Poke fan guessed the "Z" legendary would be a snake XD
Great work! I love how you can do the pokemon style so well

I think one user I knew assumed it was gonna be a dragon instead of a snake, he was "half" right considering its half-dragon type. (Which I feel is a little odd seeing its a snake)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmmm thats true. I just see a snake cause he has no arms or legs XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There is one dragon with no wings or arms called a Lindwurm, but they still have legs.
Maybe since the Legendaries are based on creatures on the tree of life Yggdrasil in Norse Mythology, Zygarde is based on Nidhogg

Wow, you're great at this. I'm surprised you could do this with just the image from the leak; congratulations!

Where are you finding the leaks??

YouTube, for starters.

I've been on YouTube.. Not a single one has caught my eye except for Delphox. ):

Run a search simply for "pokemon x and y" and set the filter to "This Week".

And here I was getting all hyped over Yveltal...

From what I understand, we may finally have a second "internal" Trio master on our hands with this guy. It also all-but-confirms the Norse Theory and leads further credence to the Ragnarok Function (as I put it).
AWESOME artwork btw.

I'm sure that he is the star on the next game, just hope its a 3rd version and NOT being a sequel with two more games.

So there WILL be a Z version. Cool.

"I guess, some kind of snake."

You look more like a blob/dragon that the pokemon company didn't spent alot of time with you. hope you get forms when your game comes out!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
"Yes, I'm aware. I do hope I indeed get forms."

It looks more like a Bug type to me, but it's really cool that we have a Dragon/Ground type now! ^.^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Eh, rephrase that. Dragon/Ground Legendary. I feel stupid now. .__.
