EDIT: My laptop screen's also super dark, so everything black is just... BLACK. Now on phone I finally see the layers of colours on it. X'DDD
Title 6/5. Some of you may remember Moonblast (2017), for a long time I meant to do the shiny version, after learning how so beautiful colour combination Gardevoir gains as shiny, especially as Mega! (I have a shiny Gardevoir too in the game, if I remember right... *checks from her shiny list *... Yes, and I named her "Izar", can't remember if it just popped in my head, probably. ) Maybe this is Izar or any Shiny Mega Gardevoir.
*ahem* So I thought I could just turn the Moonblast version into shiny with background the same and that. Till... I learned that when there was a crash in my drive I had not saved the ArtRage4 version anywhere or I'd overwritten it accidentally on the external memory storages... *_____*; So I no longer had the layer version, I had to trace the lineart again and sort of draw it over again to get a background. Since the same background looked boring with this one. ^^ Which took a while to figure out. Though now I see them more like yin &yang/ 陰と陽 (in to you) pair. This is probably also more fitting to the current time somehow.
Also wanted to make the eyes open in this version, symbolising the "awakening" (like we can see happening in France, for example... ), the black stands for symbol for "having visited/seen and acknowledged the darkness" because without facing your own shadows and dark sides, your inner light cannot shine at its fullest. But when you go through the process, of awakening, how fearsome and painful it might feel at times, and get over your worst fears, get over your ego that's controlling your actions, and take back your power and rise to your own power, the healed masculine that can set borders and stand its ground, the healed feminine that can share unconditional love despite what background somebody had behind them, that can share love to everything around it without categorising, without need to compare, because in the end its all you, and you have many sides the world around you mirrors and reflects. You look at the world with complete new way. You rise from the darkness with the light like a phoenix, the past shell burnt, born anew, and it's so, so beautiful, in the end~! The light ignites and burns ever brighter!
Not sure, maybe the background would need something, but I can't quite think what. If you have ideas, feel free to share! Wanted a break from traditional, and also to get this idea from knocking at the back of my brain constantly.
