Description

Big Fat EDIT ~Kuromitu had the brilliantly simple, and simply brilliant observation that this picture wasn't colorful enough! And I agreed, and did something about it. But it's still kind of dark. /Edit

THERE IT'S DONE D:<
I don't even know anymore. There's a ton I could say about this, but ghreiahepaitr. So let me attempt to repiece my addled brain and get a decent comment here.

Well I'll start by saying :iconpluffers: is super awesome fantastic and owns digital art like no other. In three minutes he made this picture go from Pretty Good to RIGHTEOUS by adjusting the.. color.. thing saturation. Or something. I don't know what he did but he gave it a night-tinted shade and made it magical, and he made the moon glow :iconiloveitplz:. First my 'Race the Night' picture and now this! Pluffers is the master of night-tinted digital art.

As for the stuff I worked on.. it's a good thing I used to like flowers so much. Hiyotzin's bouquet was no problem, and even enjoyable to draw. But that pile against the tree ARG when I was working on that I had to stop for the rest of the day and a little bit of the day after that because my hand hurt so much. That's never ever happened before! D:
Curse that pile of flowers, it doesn't even look like a pile of flowers it looks like a pile of BARF. Beautiful BARF
That's really my only complaint though. That and how Hiyotzin looks absolutely nothing like a Xatu. But aside from that I'm okay with how everything came out.

I've kind of noticed, I color backgrounds way better than actual people. /: As I was coloring that path I was like "YES" as well as with those trees. The orange trees, I've been watching too much Generator Rex haaaaa orz Thank goodness I was able to tone them down.
I'm just very satisfied with the background of this though. I don't usually do backgrounds so this came out way better that I could have hoped for. hah though I was just hoping for a little more than blank white. :P

The people at the graves are made up just for this picture, it's two Wailmers and a human O:
And then Cowboy Absol making his return, hahah Cowboy estan tocando la guitarra. And there's a Wynaut girl and an Eevee in the background. Maybe you can see them.
There's quite a bit of stuff in the background but there's no telling how dark this picture will be from my computer screen to yours.

There are two ghost Pokemon and five actual ghosts, can you spot them all??? If your computer shows this as light as it's supposed to be then it should be easy to see them all.

All right and that's the end of this terrible brain-dead ramble. I don't know just enjoy looking at my mediocre digital coloring skills :iconimdeadplz:
