Before anyone asks, Zapdos isn't here because of the "fire and ice"
theme

wall
-------------------
My entry for MT Knockout round 3, I lost
though...
The theme for the round was "non-human Art Nouveau". I've always wanted to try Art Nouveau, but never had
the motivation.
At first I was thinking to do Robot Unicorn Attack wallpaper, but
then I started playing Pokemon (I think I'm obsessed these days thanks to HeartGold XD), and decided to do a
Pokemon wallpaper instead.
Some possibilities I considered were: Charizard, Articuno, Ho-oh and Lugia. But I ended up with this one 'cause I
like the "fire and ice" idea
I procrastinated until like 5 days before the deadline before working on it, thanks to playing Pokemon in my free time
>__< The stupid frame in the middle took me forever! I don't even know why it took so long....
I originally wanted to do some ice/snowflake and fire designs for the side panels, and have the text there. But at the
last minute I decided to paint something symbolic: Mt. Ember on the left for Moltres, and Seafoam Cave on the right for
Articuno, where those birds were originally found. The text ended up not fitting in anywhere, so I didn't put it
in.
I'm not sure if I like the colours aside from the oranges and blues.. it's hard to find a neutral colour
scheme that isn't hot or cold or boring ^^;
