Calling all artists!

I'm looking for a piece of art to fill up the empty space in the right half of this page: http://www.smogon.com/xy/

The art needs to be a Pokemon or group of Pokemon that effectively sums up the XY/ORAS generation in an image. The Pokemon must be OU or BL, and must have been introduced in either XY or ORAS. All Mega Pokemon that are OU or BL fit the qualifications as well. You can look at the following pages to get an idea of what we've used in the past:

http://www.smogon.com/bw/
http://www.smogon.com/dp/
http://www.smogon.com/rs/
http://www.smogon.com/gs/
http://www.smogon.com/rb/

There is no prerequisites to submission, just post here with a finalized piece and I and a collection of senior staff members will pick the favorite to have featured on the page. The art does not need to be a new piece either; if you already have a piece made that you think would qualify, feel free to post it! As long as the piece is originally yours, it's good for submission. Limit one submission per artist.

This thread will be open for about a month. Good luck!

Correct, although I will amend this to include all XY/ORAS BL Pokemon as well.
 
Considering the images currently used on the main site lack them, are backgrounds allowed/forbidden/appreciated?

Up to you, not going to disqualify or otherwise grade those with backgrounds lower, but stylistically I personally like no background to fit with the other existing images.
 
Update (finished lineart).

Still have to decide how to handle the digital inking+colouring since my lines just cannot be clean. If someone is seriously interested in actually inking this I can provide a higher-resolution version.

Sorry for not giving a specific due date, I didn't know when I would have time to call a close to this!

But the results are in: me and a collection of senior staff members have decided to go with monomite's entry! It is now live on the site: http://www.smogon.com/xy/

Thank you to everyone that participated and submitted entries, there was some pretty awesome work here! It was a pretty tough call, but I think monomite really hit the nail on the head with the kind of theme that fits with the rest of the site.
