 Art for Articles

Bit curious, what would you guys like for the FRLG/DPP Legendaries article? I wouldn't mind doing a small headshot of each legend if needed (college is almost done for the semester too, so I'll have time).
While that would be radical, I have two concerns about this:
1) Multiple images usually means that they're either shrunk down considerably, or need to be somewhat small to begin with, in order to be included within the text, so more images may sometimes mean that the art don't get as much space as it could get.
2) While it is our aim to illustrate all articles, remember that most of them won't receive nearly as much traffic as our articles and media submissions that goes live today, so there's no need to make that extra effort unless you have a really good theme across all images or another reason that'd go well with the article's layout.

They would be small, probs 500x500 max and I could go smaller. I like doing mini doodles.

That's the end resolution for most of our images, even when only one is given the space it needs. When I say small, I'm taking like ......250x250. You can probably ask anto about your current idea for how to do things and she may be able to answer how do-able it is.
 
damn im back-ish, will be looking at this. sorry, exams killed me. but i don't think there's anything in mind? maybe the main character looking at the legendaries, or tbh your idea is cuter bubblymaika

Sorry for the late reply (Exams)

I've done a sketch trying to improve on what you pointed out last time :

It isn't the most neatest of sketches ;A;
 
Didn't have internet for almost 18 hours so I finally did this. Sorry that they're not in the same style.

[3 different textures, couldn't decide which looked better]

Thank you to Bummer for letting me do this and a deer for letting me collab and finish the two amazing wip concepts!

edit: this is for http://www.smogon.com/dp/articles/status btw. also, now that it's uploaded, there seems to be little to no difference between textured and non textured :I
 
The Hippowdon works just fine, good amount of emotion and action while still sticking to the topic. The Heatran has too thick lineart too my tastes however, and I also find the white lineart not working to its advantage, so if you're determined to have two pictures for that article then I'd revisit it, although it works fine with just the Hippowdon imo.
 
im not dead!!

i'm alive, i had to take a break because uni exams and i've recently come back. i got great plans for this section and i'm willing to dedicate my full time to this once my last exam is done on july 11th.

i loved the hippo, thanks imas :) i think the heatran looks a lot better now, but he still wanted you to say if it's ok or not Bummer

Silverdragon is the lovely wip gonna be finished? and f(x) was doing art for the home page but that never happened? and brightobject was finishing some stuff as well. sorry for huge bump out of nowhere, i finally got the time to a be good leader

Ah well I was waiting for any things I might need to change before I line . So should I go ahead or is there any changes needed ?
yeah it's much more dynamic, so it more acuurately shows the defininf moment when either catching them or approaching them, I'd say the trainer could be further into the back as otherwise he'd be really close to the action and be in danger of getting hurt

can't really tell what legend is pictured though
