Description
A regular Staraptor finds a new way to gain attention by trying to disguise itself as a Shiny. XD XD
This is my entry for ’s Monthly Theme Contest. This month’s theme is Something New and Untried. Each contestant was assigned a Pokemon and was told to create an image with that Pokemon. As you can see, I was assigned Staraptor. The idea was to create diversity and give artists a new type of challenge.
I'm not going to lie... This is not really my best work. X) I had the hardest time trying to figure out what I wanted to draw Staraptor doing. It never quite occurred to me before, but I realize that bird Pokemon are pretty limited in terms of poses and actions. @_@
I first came up with the concept of a regular Pokemon wanting to be shiny when I began thinking of other common Shiny Pokemon drawings. I have noticed that most Shiny Pokemon drawings have a Shiny Pokemon running away from trainers or trying to evade capture. The Pokemon are almost always portrayed as scared or unhappy. In my drawing, I tried to portray the opposite. This Staraptor wants to be captured. It wants to catch a good trainer's eye. And nothing attracts trainers more than a shiny! Of course, the real shiny in the background thinks the regular Staraptor is crazy, but you know.
Overall, I'm quite proud of the concept that I came up with. :3 I hope that it's enough to at least give me Honorable Mention. Fingers crossed (especially since there are already so many other amazing entries). XD
EDIT: So I didn't win, but I did get "Highly Commended" and the judge of the contest, =Operia, was nice enough to give me (and a few others) 50 points. ^^ I am definitely satisfied.
