In the midst of a fight

<EDIT> Changed the Aura Sphere and Ember layers a bit to be on top of the lines </EDIT>
<EDIT 2> Added some more lights to Aura Sphere and reflections off of Lucario from the Ember, as well as made the sky a bit more visible. </EDIT 2>

Recently, I had a poll asking which Pokemon out of all 654 (655 counting the new 5 and Missing No. ) to draw, with Pokemon X and Y coming out in October and all. The winner was Ninetales. Instead of going with just Ninetales, I decided to draw it fighting with a Lucario, who won second.

This picture had a cool contrast to it. *u* With Lucario's Aura Sphere and Ninetales' Ember, (I think that's what I drew...) the difference between blue and red is...bright.

I think this will be my new full color style...I don't know. Ever since Sai started hating my tablet, well, asdfghjkl. Next time, I'll make the lines smaller.

A lot of blood, sweat, and tears went into this, as well as a scratch in my Bamboo Capture. So y'all better enjoy this. >:U *shot*
