Full Pokemon team commission with a detailed background for the wonderful and patient draizor007 ! This is the last but definitely not the least of my commissions for now and a fitting end to the current queue. I've done detailed commission before but this is no doubt the most ambitious one, with a full team and a detailed forest background. 

The scene is about Claire's team exploring the dense forest of Ilex in Johto region and searching for the mythical shrine of Celebi in hopes of encountering the time-traveling legend. Will they find Celebi and the shrine? Who knows. At least they will get to enjoy the forest and each other's company!

The Pokemon designs come from the commissioner (here is their reference sheet and further explanations on what they are based on) and not only is the team composition cool but the designs as well! I was the most excited about the Suicune design, which is based on a qiiln, because that is how I personally see and would interpret Suicune as well. And now I got the chance to draw it, too! The whole team was so much fun to draw since they had such good character descriptions and I was able to bring a lot of interaction and story in the picture. 

I was also asked to draw some wild Pokemon in the picture - and there is a whole bunch of them! See if you can find and name them all! They're all Johto natives, of course. 

I'm super happy with how this piece turned out! Definitely one of my favourite commissions I've done to date.
