Artist's Comments

It's been a while since I posted any Pokemon art...

This is not really an original idea - I referenced a card from Magic: The Gathering TCG for the colours and concept. (Just in case you are curious, the card is Shadow of Doubt by Greg Staples.)

Just a short bit about the concept: Darkrai is supposed to be the incarnation of nightmares (correct me if I'm wrong), so this pic depicts it sending out (or being formed from) nightmares. So I skipped its lower-half 'skirt' to show the swirl of nightmares.

Anyways, Darkrai is one of my favourite new Legendary Pokemon (other than Sheimi, Giratina and Fione). It's looks pretty neat for a Dark type, although by its nightmarish design, I swear it should be a Ghost type as well - but that would make it way too strong ^^;. Seriously though, isn't there a Legendary overkill in DP? I have a feeling Nintendo creates more Legendaries just to continue making movies - after all, they've already stuffed Dialga, Palkia AND Darkrai in the next one...

Oh yeah, this pic is wallpaper-sized (really, it's a coincidence :D), so you can download it to your desktop. Just don't steal it!

Excellent, Darkrai is my favorite new monster by far. The shadowing and colors are as usual, top quality from you. Though I have to say the angle is a bit odd, all the negative space may seem appropriate for him in theory, but looking on the picture it really leaves something to be desired.

I was worried about the angle (its back is supposed to be partially facing you) and I felt the focus should be on the smoky blackness, hence all the negative space. Maybe it didn't work out...Thanks anyway for your comment :D!
