I just can't even. That art. Is. just. wow.
I use to not like Riakou because he wasn't intimidating looking (for a legendary that is)
This just changed my mind ^u^ It's just so realistic! my absolute favorite part of this piece is the face. Those eyes are starring into my soul! It also looks like he has a metal mask on which is awesome. I also love the lighting in the background :D

Overall, this artwork is fantastic. You get five stars in technique, vision, originality and impact. I'm gonna watch you and await for more <3
Thanks for reading!

I love it!
Vision
This piece reflects Raikou very well. I think it strongly shows the idea of Raikou. It is an electric type, so the lightning goes very well. 5 out of 5, good work.
Originality
Well, you don't own raikou. But you gave a good background that's original, so 3 out of 5. :)
Technique
Lots of people try to make pokemon look real, and most fail. But you, my sir, mastered. Its like you threw a master ball at good art techniques. Dude, I want to be as good as you. :) Also, I like how you put little rain drops and lightning, so 5 out of 5, saying that you made the fur look SO real, I can't believe it!
Impact
In the faq, it says: "Does the artwork resonate with you or evoke strong emotions? Does it make you think? Does it blow your mind? "
Well, it does give me emotions. I love it! I'm in love with your art! It does make me think, like, "How does he do this?" And yes, it does blow my mind. :) 4 1/2 out of 5.

Final Words
You are awesome. Keep up the good work. Next, I would like to see the legendary birds. I think you could really do a good job picturing them real. I hope you continue with your art and never stop. :)

Raikou is amazing. The tiger needs more love.

You know, I always found it so odd that Raikou, Suicune, and Entei were called the "dog trio." I never saw them as dogs. Suicune I saw as a wolf, yes, and wolves are one of my favorite animals, but Raikou was a tiger to me, and Entei was a lion. I think you envisioned these three pieces perfectly, and I have to say Raikou has always been my favorite out of the trio.

Originally when the Pokemon movies were made, each of the three was supposed to get their own movie. The third movie was about Entei, the fourth about Suicune, and the fifth /was/ supposed to be about Raikou, and I remember seeing the commercials and I was so excited because he was my favorite. But at the last minute the fifth movie was changed, and Raikou never got his own movie. I was disappointed and rather frustrated with Nintendo for changing it and I still believe this beautiful and majestic tiger deserves his own movie.
