Phew! This piece was about 2 weeks(give or take a day or two) in the making! Sorry it took so long!
K, so some of my followers my know, while not outraged or anything bad like that, I had been a bit skeptical about Pokemon Trainer's inclusion in "Super Smash Bros. Brawl." I've always been a huge Pokemon fan, but just wasn't sure he'd work, and then thought it was odd to be able to use a human using Pokemon, as well as using only a Pokemon(Pikachu, Jigglypuff, ect.) But, then, 2 Saturdays ago, I turned on the Cartoon Network, and they were airing some of the old old episodes from when I was just a lad, and the First Movie, and I just got this nostalgic sense, and, seeing Pokemon Trainer's(known as "Ash" on the cortoon) exploits, on par with Mario and Link in "The Super Mario Bros. Super Show", Pit in "Captain N", Kirby in "Kirby: Right Back at Ya!", Donkey Kong and Diddy in "Donkey Kong Country: The Animated Series", and so forth, I had my epiphany. "Hell," I thought,"This guy's just as a keystone of Nintendo as any of the rest. He deserves his spot in the roster!"
In order to commemerate my revealation, I had to do a picture of some kind. Then, this popped in my head. Pokemon Trainer fights in an orthadox way: he stands in the background, and issues commands to his Pokemon, who do the actual fighting for him. An odd rule, which brings me to our friend Solid Snake. Snake isn't one to play by the rules, and does whatever it takes to take down his adversary. Well, wouldn't the best way to take out the puppets be by taking out the puppet master? Just had to give the Trainer one last tribulation...
This scene is set in the "Bridge of Eldin" stage of SSBB, as the sunset would give me the lighting to do the dark shadow over Snake that was really the idea I had before anything else. I just got an image of a shadow-clad Snake popping up out of no where behind P.T., causing much bowl release. I drew and colored the whole thing from memory, you know, to give it that personal, spontanious, expresive feeling, as it was, afterall, a spontanious, expressive drawing. So please forgive the errors around the piece, such as in Snakes outfit, and the numerous color and lighting error. Still not the best at lighting and shadow yet...
