Mixed media: watercolor paint, Acrylic white paint, black pen and india ink , and colored pencil on smooth bristol board. This painting is only about eight inches long and wide.

painted for a contest for :iconeeveefanclub:
Update: LOL SECOND PLACE?!?!? cool, man! :)
contest instructions: create something eevee-related using only two colors plus black and white.
The two colors i used were the Cotman watercolor paints Dioxazine Violet(a bluish purple) and Rose Madder Hue(a darkish pink). i used prismacolor pencils of nearly identical colors to the paint to fix a few blemishes...though i still couldn't get that right hind leg right.

After completing this, i have the sudden urge to do a whole series like this with eevee's evolved forms. All would use only one or two colors and be set in some starry dimension full of sparkle...I may deny it a lot, but i actually do love sparkly stuff... :/

the starry "other dimension" background was probably inspired by the original Flareon Pokemon card from the Jungle set, which shows a flareon flying through what looks to me like outer space. >>>[link]
That was always one of my favorite pokemon cards, and the one besides charizard that i wanted a holographic version of above any other, but i never got one. but i still have a non-holographic version of the card. In fact i still have a lot of my cards. I have an entire binder full of holographic and rare cards! and many of them are in great condition too.

Flareon and Pokemon belong to Nintendo.

The neck is really long. Nice job on the other details though! And I'm really digging that long, flowing fur fluff. ^^

Really interesting representation of Flareon. I rather like it, with exception of the face. It's not bad, but it doesn't really say "Flareon" to me. I was reading over some the other longer comments and I have to agree with what ~PurpleCupcakes said about the face.

Honestly your design has a very lion like feel, which is cool, but since the eevee evolutions are more like foxes, in the future you might want to reference a foxes faces as opposed to a cats. Also one other really small thing that bothers me is the ears. I like that you made them fluffy, but I feel like there are too many individual tufts of fur coming of them. But that's just a personal preference, and really isn't something that needs to be fixed.

Overall though I really love the colors and the composition and I wish I could paint like that!

thanks for the critique, but i disagree that just because the eevee pokemon often look like foxes/canine that i should depict them as foxes/canine as well. it would be boring if a character was always depicted in the same exact way, wouldn't it? i actually see them as more feline than canine, and i like to make them so. i have several other eevee drawings in my gallery from a while back, and i depicted them as cats there, too, so you can't really call the catlike qualities here a mistake. that's just how i usually draw them.
