I hated Pokemon, but I can't but salute you for taking a yet more humorous spin on a already humorous classic!
It has been a while since the last time I saw art and humor blending together In such a way.
Congrat, and thanks for the wall

Yes! It's done!
Tales of The Tape:
Concept: Pokemon parody of Cassius Marcellus Coolidge's "A Friend In Need"
Medium: Photoshop CS4
Tools: My Macbook Pro and her trusty trackpad (no mice abused, no tablets broken)
Hours: Maybe 70+ hours (cumulative within a span of 1 1/2 months)
Special Mention: Sora183's "Pikachu Where Have You Been?" wall is seen as the "painting" at the
back wall of this wall. Used with permission
Process:

Wow. It's been a year already and I've learned so much that I'd like to celebrate. I was totally making a different wall then I came across this painting by Cassius Marcellus Coolidge. His painting is a quintessential blue collar art. The purpose of his work was for an ad for a tobacco company. When I saw his work, it hit me. Pokemon can be the parody for this wall. I searched blogs containing the top ten cutest Pokemon. After that, I searched high and low for the scans to match the ideal positions of the characters.
I wanted to portray mischief and playfulness in a game which demands seriousness and craft. Here, the Pokemon are "playing" Texas Hold'em. Pikachu (AP scan download) is the pivotal character, handing that ace of spade to Marill (AP scan download), indeed, helping out a friend in need. Teddiursa (far left, googled image) smells something fishy, and curiously looks at two miscreants. Mew (anime screenshot), uses his / her psychic powers to play, while Psyduck (anime screenshot) doesn't have a clue that he has the best hand in the game, a royal flush. Riolu (far right, googled image) seriously contemplates his next move. And at the center is Meowth (anime screenshot), obviously exasperated by the mayhem that's beset this table.
Please see the process pic for full details on the conceptualization of this wall. Most of the wall was made by vector mas painting. I wanted to put it in a dark environment so the sole source of light is the lamp. Made a lot of manipulations in the foreground to make Pikachu and Marill cheating. The grandfather clock was remade and vectored. Cards were googled and then distorted to make it appear as it is now. Anyway, check that small long link for details.
Thanks to Sora183 for letting me use his wall as a piece of this work, to Nysha and Chanelqueen for their inputs.
