[b][i]Or is it o:[/i][/b]
I'm still kind of unhappy with the three uploads for 280, 281 and 282, so if I can think of something better I'll be replacing the three. Didn't even get them out in time for my birthday... >.>
But that's neither here nor there! The general gist of the three, which I've had planned for awhile and probably failed to convey well, is that Mega Gardevoir is going to be a thing in this gallery now (as you totally didn't guess from the image above)!
Odd as it may sound given my tendency to obsess over all things green and adorable, I was not actually on board with Mega Gardevoir at first. In fact, I kind of went through a few of the five stages of grief over it, I kid you not - I definitely went through genuine denial when Meta showed me the first leaked image, which is really out of character for me. Regardless, we are totally friends now and some of the M.Gardevoir pics I've been saving will start coming through now :debug:
They probably won't be uploaded as frequently as regular Gardevoir pics, but there's a ton of excellent art since the usual communities have really taken a shine to the mega. Probably somewhat more often than standalone Kirlia and Ralts drawings, definitely more often than Gallade...speaking of which, he and his super neat looking mega (which I like more than the regular version, to be honest!) are also things that exist and I've been neglecting Gallade in general for a long time. They will also be appearing more often, hopefully! I tried to have one in the three uploads but just couldn't find a fitting picture. Is it obvious yet that all of these updates were supposed to be in those three?
But yeah. Exposition over...for now. As for the picture itself, this little number is actually solely responsible for getting me warmed up to Mega Gardevoir and its design! I had to keep it in my windows for a week or so, to be honest ^_^;
I must admit that its design seemed like a super doofy and bad direction at first exposure, but I now really appreciate what they were going for, and it's quite pretty and elegant and cute. I don't really care for the themes of most of MasterPloxy's work (the comments on the right side should give a hint as to what those themes are), but his style is adorable to a superior extent. He's a great artist, I can definitely give him that :3
