Well, it’s finally done! I’ve been in a painting mood lately and I’ve been really proud of the results, and this is no exception! Big fat huge thank you to HanMonster on FA for all her help with Photoshop for the last few projects. Would’ve been a trainwreck without it lol
Blaziken is one of my favorite Pokemon and one of my favorite Megas, so I couldn’t pass him up. His design here is heavily influenced by red jungle fowl, with the borrowed feet of cochin chickens.
Approx 12 - 15 hours in Photoshop? Give or take.

Hahah I definitely plan to! I've only just started attempting again so hopefully this time it will stick!
Also here's the official art, for your personal comparison lol: http://media-cerulean.cursecdn.com/attachments/5/621/mega_blaziken.png
I meant to comment on this back when I favorited it but being busy and spacey lately had me forget about it.
This design is fantastic; I love Blaziken (although surprisingly not my favorite of that generation's starters!) and your take on him is really close to what I'd say is perfect (for me at least). I definitely saw the cochin and junglefowl influence the moment I saw it. I think my favorite part of the design are his feet though; those spurs are perfect implements of disembowelment...
