Well, as a desperate plea to the editors to bring back the Fan Art section into the UK Official Nintendo Magazine, this is the first of 3 Legendary 1st Gen Pokémon I am creating on my Graphics tablet and Photoshop 7.0.
This is *not* a final piece. Just one section (sorry for the rubbishy background!)
The final piece will consist of Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres.
I've been working on this about 15 hours, and it's far from complete yet. Hopefully, I should finish it sometime next week. I haven't really got that much to do on it now.
Photoshop sketch and colours/detail from scratch. I need more practice with Photoshop work! If anymore has any handy tips/tutorials for smooth digital painting, I would greatly appreciate it!!
I will be selling huge prints of this when it all finally comes together.
Comments and contructive criticism welcomed
Articuno and Pokémon (C) Game Freak and Nintendo

Beautifull!! The detail on the feathers is amazing, and I love the twist in the tail! Plus blue is one of my fave colours.^^ Articuno have always been one of my favourite Pokemon in the games.

It is beautiful!
If Articuno were real, this is what it would look like.

My goodness!! That is incredible!
Will you post at least a small version of the finished piece so we can see it? This is breathtaking.

He looks like a cross between a Blue Jay and a Quetzel.
