Description

The people had a wish—a memory from a thousand years before... They wished that the Legendary Pokémon clad in emerald light would appear again. The huge Meteorite that lay at the heart of Sootopolis gave off a boundless brilliance. In its brilliance, it resembled a vast and powerful Key Stone. And once again, Rayquaza descended from whence it came in the heavens. The people fell to their knees before Rayquaza and made a wish for salvation. As they did, a great change came over the Legendary Pokémon. It was enveloped in blinding light. As the light receded, they beheld a Rayquaza beyond all knowledge— a sublime figure, incandescent with overwhelming life force.

I have been reunited with my traditional tools! I know I have commissions and other things I should be working on, but I hope you forgive me this time for using my time to enjoy creating something traditionally, with my inks. I had really missed them. 
I decided to do more Japanese art inspired Pokemon pictures. This time I chose to do Mega Rayquaza. I have a book about mythical creatures being portrayed in Japanese art and it has bee a great help for me when I try to find good ways to portray these designs in a way that stays somewhat faithful to traditional Japanese art. There are still things to improve but I really enjoyed painting this one.
I will make a pair for it, of Primal Groudon and Kyogre. I thought I could try to fit them into one piece but it wouldn't have worked so well, space and theme wise. I'm planning to make prints of both and sell them at Tracon X. I don't know about online sales yet since shipping pieces of this size is very expensive and not too convenient. I need to see if I can use an online print store or sth as a better solution that also profits me.
But until then, back to my books and to doing some research!

I hope you like it!

Edit; Primal Forces is now complete!

Rayquaza eats radiation, right?
