"Well, what does a pretty espy like you in such an ugly part of town? Are you lost? This is a dangerous place, girl. What luck I’ve found you. Hehe! You know, there are some really nasty punks around. Heheh…"

Scourge the male flareon
Lulu the female espeon

Scourge laughs just before he gets tongue-tied by this ever so vulnerable espeon girl. His heart beats like a drum and a paralysing feeling stuns Scourge in awe, just able to gasp in yearning for her. Little he knew about the creepy powers psychic type pokemon possess and even less the flareon punk gang leader suspected it’s her who came in his part of the city and looked for trouble all along. Apparently Lulu the espeon got herself a new pet by unleashing a powerful hypnosis move onto Scourge just as he tried to molest and touch her.
Such a strong and healthy alpha male she caught tonight! Oh! What pleasures she will have with her new obedient flareon pet, Lulu thinks and tenderly strokes her body and face against Scourge.

I did this image for L01270906. Just by looking at Scourge I immediately thought punk! Green hair, red scarf and ear piercings! Scourge may be still a little young, but he surely has the potential to become one of the most vicious punks of the city. That means if he survives long enough! Goldenrod is a dangerous place and it doesn’t look like Scourge is very cautious.
I applied a lot of tricks to tell the watcher something odd is happening in this image. Scourge wished to be depicted seductively hypnotised by his friend’s espeon Lulu. Hypnosis itself is of course invisible like wind. You only see its impact. So I let Lulu’s forehead point glow to show that she’s making a psychic move. She looks at Scourge and he is affectedly staring and gasping. His heart is pounding like mad and his limbs are so weak! I used an “acid”-like colour pattern with lots of complementary colours. Then I added massive black patches of shadows into the alley behind them together with a black gradient that’s seemingly devouring the image and creating additional depth. It pushes the vibrantly coloured characters in the foreground and looks like the back alley is tunnel-like in motion making the watcher sometimes a little dizzy. Eventually the image is tilted. Fightingwolf helped me with the poses. Thank you very much!
I learned so much from this image!

Also look at L01270906’s submission of that colourised ink painting! He added an amazing short dialogue in his submission comment. Probably better than mine version!

Done with pigment ink on 250g/m² illustration paper and GIMP 2.8.
