Artist's Comments

There is a backstory (or rather, a backstory inspired by it) to these renditions. See this artwork for more info. See another take on the Dragon Trio theme here.

"I speak of the force that created the physics of the universe, the force that makes time flow forwards and not allow everything to happen at once, the force that sets the patterns to which the planets turn. Its weapons are coincidence, unlikelihood, happenstance." ~ The Haunting of Alaizabel Cray by Chris Wooding

Aka Spacial Rend, Roar of Time, and Shadow Force...

A submission to :iconpokedex: and :iconpokecon: . I didn't quite finish this fast enough to make its upload coincide with the premiers of the 11th movie, but at least it's finally done, right? Oh, and for the theme "Light Breeze", observe the motions of their hair and garments. The giant crashing wave is attributed to Palkia using Surf. ^^ Yes, Palkia will always be a female in my gijinka artworks, no matter what gender the producers address her. << BTW, here's a less warrior-esque version of Dialga and Palkia, for curiosity reference: [link]

Original sketch done in pencil on bond paper, but the final lineart and the rest of the coloring was done solely in Photoshop CS2. Palkia, Dialga, and Giratina are the creations of Satoshi Tajiri. No profit is made out of this artwork. Their gijinka forms, however, are my creations. If you would like to use them for other purposes, you have to tell me first. D:< Yup, this includes stories. But don't worry, if you send me the proper link and give me credit, I won't eat you. ^^

DON'T DISTRIBUTE THIS ARTWORK WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. I'm sorry; I have to put a watermark on the image because I can't have others claiming that they made this artwork.

this is beautiful!


if your palkia is a girl, and your dialga is a boy, what is giratina? a boy i'm guessing

also, if palkia(maybe you could give her a name that relates to space) uses fans, and dialga(you could probably call him 'kronos'. that's what i always call my dialga) uses twin knives, what does giratina(you could probably give him a name relating to shadow or death) use?

:wow: I am rather shocked that you finished your piece at last; and quite beautifully too. :) Your piece is extremely well executed (sorry, still in awestruck :D). Congrats on another composition well done. :XD:

And sometimes reality...

I nearly spewed Dr. Pepper all over my laptop when I saw this. All your hard work paid off amazingly. This is so cool. If this were a print, I would frame it and put it on the wall in my study.

Giratina is quite dashing too!

I agree with everybody else who's commented: this is absolutely amazing! I love the designs on Palkia's fans and how you added the effect of her using Spatial Rend, though I'm still a bit confused about what the bottom of her outfit looks like since Dialga's in front of her legs. Still, though, she's very beautiful, but still gives off the vibe of 'it's wise if you don't mess with me'.

I also love the designs on Dialga's weapons as well, and I think he looks quite regal and handsome, don't you, Shan? *nudges her Lucario*

Shan: I... um... *blushes and goes quiet*

And Giratina, I love how much he stands out from the Spacetime Duo, and the red aura around him helps make him stand out all the more. Since it appears that he fights bare-handed, for some reason, I picture him shrugging off his cape before a duel.

The background is absolutely amazing, I love how it looks like the wave is crashing against a rocky cliff and how the effect behind the three dragons makes it look like a cloudy/stormy sky.

This has got to be your best work yet.
:iconfiredino:
O.O Shiny....and I LOVE the background. You did it so well! <3 The costumes are amazing!
:iconantarel:
...uhm, I actually based their weapons on the way they execute their signature attacks. I imagine Giratina folds the dark robe over his figure to execute Shadow Force. o_o

Yup, my Giratina's a guy. On a side note, my Dialga is named Kairos, which is actually another term for time used by the ancients aside from Kronos. ^^

Ack...sorry! XD Didn't realized I was logged into my brother's account...ut really, this was done amazingly well.
:iconantarel:
Lol, thanks! The swirly designs on Dialga's broadswords and Palkia's fans were made by distorting and twirling some random lines (the outcomes are always exciting). ^^ Palkia's skirt is supposed to be the sort that has long slits at the sides, but for the life of me I don't want her to look vulgar flashing her bare legs as she fights, so she's wearing leggings underneath. Hehe; her power is /very/ comparable to that of her brother, so one really should think twice before crossing the Lady of Space. @_@

*giggles* Caught Shan there! I was /dreadfully/ afraid he will look overly like a girl. *baps herself* Thankfully that didn't happen.

Honestly, before movie 11 came out I had NO idea what color Giratina's aura will be. You really now have me picturing him in Ozai's place (especially just before his final duel with Aang) after our YM conversation. x_x But if the Fire Lord can fight bare-handed, why can't Giratina? *winks*

I partially attribute the crashing wave to Palkia using Surf, and I roughly tried to duplicate the distortion of the sky as shown in movie 10. Gosh, my art style really went cartwheel here. O_o

O_o If your laptop went kaput I'd be very guilty. The original size of the artwork is (I think) 23"x28" and would have worked as a print; unfortunately, I don't think Nintendo is too keen on approving fanart for print.

Lol, drawing Giratina as a dashing dude sort of redeemed him to me, since I was kinda freaked out by his true appearance at first.
