Something tells me macro cop won't be too pleased when he has to report this one in

Holy smokes, now that's some ACTION. Great poses.

You know, praise is worth very little in a place like this, where people can shower you with empty words just as quickly as they can honest encouragement.
But I want to tell you that I am always amazed at what you do here. I don't know if you really think much of your work, but it's always had that sense of perspective, scale, and depth to it that allows you the imagination to truly take hold and give life to an illustration already set in motion.

So thank you for that. I do greatly appreciate what you submit here.

Dude, this is cougr you're talkin' 'bout here...
He is the equivalent of a living rock god here on FA.

Notion of deepest, greatest respects seconded! As always Mr. Sample, you never cease to amaze each and every one of us here. I doubt my skills with the pencil, pen, and perspective will ever be as great as yours. And if my writing was half as good as your art, I'd probably be a bestselling author in some small country somewhere...

Yes, this is Cougr. Cougr is an individual, and I fear that far too often is he just praised for his art, and not appreciated as an individual. That is my concern.

This, so much this.

Thank you for the very kind words. I appreciate the sentiment and all. Honestly, I think I get way more praise than I freakin' deserve. I'm not even half as good as I should be and not as good as people say I am.

Still, thank you.

Now... I have to go fix Busbar's left foot...

Ah! I see what happened, it is arranged like it would be his right foot, rather than the other way around!

I can take em' both.

I can take you too :E Bring it.

I'll send the Brat over. Make sure Artie has your Poke'ball ready and the address to the nearest Poke'center punched into the GPS.

Bring it Mr. Cougr. *flexes*

Less fantasizing and more doing my laundry.

Do your own laundry! :E

I'll do it though that kick ass K outfit might go missing :p

The tail reminds me of an EVA's umbilical cable--all I can think is "PATTERN BLUE! AN ANGEL IS ADVANCING ON THE GEOFRONT!"

You'd think someone somewhere would have the idea of building a PokeArena for mega Pokemon.. XD

Also.. Love all the little details and vibrant color.

i like busbar hes sexy

MY WINTER HOUSE!!!

The macro pokemon league must go through a lot of towns.

That's all KINDSA awesomes!!


SWEEEEEET action poses, all the way down to the detailed thunderbolt through the ground.


Makes me wanna take out a loan to fund the Macro Pokemon Leauge! :3

Wow! Now this is some dynamic posing! Amazing work

WOW, bet he fights like a goddamned fiend.

The intensity is fucking AWWWWWESOME.

Yeah, the Brat is intense and unorthodox. Sparring with Moonlight is good for him... other than the long recovery times from having his butt handed to him by that Umbreon Monster.

Tried to make it look like Busbar is giving it all he's got: "At least PRETEND you're working, you black bastard!" While Moon is all "Hey, not bad kid. You have some moves."

Aw man, I get it! No wonder I like Busbar- he thinks like me. Must be why he stomps around in my head and makes me draw him now and again.
...
Then again Moon would probably infuriate anybody, so it's no wonder he got under Bus's skin!

:D

It's always the little things that make a macro picture special. Fleeing pedestrians, soaring debris, impact craters, the contents of impact craters...or a massive spiderweb of lightning zigzagging through a suburban neighborhood and laying waste to little homes in a wonderful pattern; and then add to that not one, but two action-filled, dynamic poses, and this is QUITE a standout picture!

Took.

Too.

Long.

Doing all buildings in SAI was a nightmare.

Without suffering, there is no art!

BAH!

BAH, I say!

I want to be able to sneeze and have a perfect perspective, highly-detailed, crowd and debris-filled background to appear for my characters to romp in!

I suppose you'll just have to wait for widely available robots to do this for you!

NEVER! THE POWER IS IN YOUR HANDS

DO THE IMPOSSIBLE

SEE THE INVISIBLE

ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWAH

very interesting picture, glad that is not my neighborhood.

Epic!

ummm interesting fight, who will win? xD awesome chars and draw ^^

Oooh, this is all sorts of badass, sir. I'm kinda wanting to try my hand at drawing similar super-huge super fights now.

Busbar's stance reminds me of capoeira.

Amazing job sir!

YOOOOOUUUU!!!!

YOOOOOUUUUU!!!!

Thank you for the compliment. But... YOUUUUUU!!! Raising the bar too far over my head! Can't... reach... GAHHHHH!!!!

Danged Dino!

* reaches down and plucks you up by the neck scruff so you can reach* ^www^

This is amazing, you make drawing those buildings and streets seem so easy

Not Easy.

Trust me.

Why am I so into Macro? Doing all the background crap is a PAIN, but gotta have it. Gotta have it...

YOU DESTROYED THE SIMPSON HOUSE >:C

What sort of lightning makes houses shatter? wouldn't they catch on fire? also its grounded lightning already.. so possibly plasma.. more fire. As a new home owner this image makes me cringe. :p

You, good sir, have never had lightning strike your house, and hopefully never will... 'cause it sucks hard x-x

Assuming Busbar's lightning is more powerful than the standard variety, and throwing in the fact that it's fantastic and should never be Science'd up... I could see it blowing some houses up. I'd science it, but eh... following the lowest path of resistance formula has it actually just exploding the city streets due to the metal reinforcements they use when pouring asphalt... but eh. Explosions > Science.

... but eh. :P

Yeeaa, I guess at high enough voltages... but a whole house? The world has not seen such power! I think the last part about Explosions > Science is the best explanation, and that it makes a bad ass image. :)

Absolutely beautiful job! The poses are amazing, the scene is just breathtaking, and theres so much going on here! Absolutely freaking epic!

Well, There goes the Neighborhood.

I LOVE collateral damage!

I hate to say this, cause I love your work, but I think Busbar has two right feet. the foot with the pawpads toward the viewer seems to be a right foot, as the position of the arch is facing outwards. Again, I hate to point this out, but it's been bugging me, and I thought you might like to know.

HOly Freakin' Christmas!

I Have Looked At That Picture Half a BILLION TIMES working on it and I NOT ONCE noticed I drew Busbar's foot BACKWARDS!!!

GODDAMMITT!!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for noticing that. Jumping Jackrabbits, I'm usually the one to spot those things and I totally, TOTALLY missed it here.

GUUUUHHHHH!!!


Well... another half billion times, coming up.

We all make mistakes, don't beat yourself up over it. Again, I apologize for bringing it up, cause otherwise it's a wonderful piece of art, and I wish I could draw paws half as well as you do.

Don't apologize! No, no, no!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for catching that and telling me. GUH!!! Still can't believe I missed that for sooooo looooonnng...

Fixed it. Thank you again.

GUH!

Omg yes

I dunno, I'd say Busbar's ass is actually pretty nice..

This is EPIC! How did you do all these little details in the background? It must have taken ages to do!

It did take forever. Days. Tried to use the line tools in SAI to do straight lines, but that's massively tedious. So, I did the main outside lines and then did all the rest of the stuff freehand. I still totally wussed out on the trees and stuff.

Once again you manage to surprise us with an amazingly detailed drawing of an incredibly fluid action scene.

To my untrained eye this whole drawing looks absolutely perfect. The poses scream movement and look very natural. The colours of the two characters and their attacks jump out from the ordinary urban environment, drawing attention to all the right places.

The details of the houses and cars look really good from this height, I especially like how you mad the house 'explode' (for sake of better word for it) when the energy bolt hits right through it. It feels really natural and seriously destructive.

What else is there to say? Oh yeah. Sorry Moonlight, but seeing the both of you together, I gotta say Busbar has a better butt.

I thank you for drawing this and sharing it. It must have taken a load of time, but the results are definitely there.

I'm in agreement. The kid has a nice tush.

There goes the neighborhood town state power grid.

I'm normally not into Pokemon, but you found a way to make them appealing. Very inspiring.

Thank you.

Yet another way to get real estate for dirt cheap ;)

And meanwhile, all the news cameras focus on 'chu booty.

amazing Busbar body dynamic here! it's a hard pose and you pulled it out perfectly!

I look at the background of this, and all I see is the intro cutscene city to Dead Rising 1.

Anyone else see this?

My fave of the stuff you've done lately.
Did a great job on such a big battle scene.

Oooh aaaah! Words just cannot describe. And holy crap man the background. So many nice details and houses and destruction. Busbar is getting better every day!

Wow... super dynamic action poses! Very nice - and there's SO much pawsome (© Fuzzypaws) going on in this pic. :D Left footpaw on Busbar looks amazing now - did you actually draw a right one originally? YOU??! No coffee before drawing?

The destruction level is awesometastically epic!

Once again, amazing job,Cougr! :)

that has to be one of the most badass pics I've ever seen :3

If this is just a friendly spar, how does a real fight look like? :o
I usually don't fav macro related stuff but I gotta make an exception for this pic
