Omigosh, gaiz! This was gonna be a serious picture...but then I noticed I only had 3 hours to do the lineart and the colouring...and...I actually do most pictures in less time than that, but I wanted to try something new...and I wanted to do other things on here, too (I just got on the internet), so I just threw the whole plan off and just coloured the sketch and put in effects 'n stuff.

I was listening to Letters from Iwo Jima music (and Inception music and Atonement music) and that music makes me really emotional...TT^TT Well, not really, but it's touching! So I made it blurry-ish or something that just reminds me of that music...with a touch of Sengoku Basara ('cause I was also listening to that music)...the touch being the poses...XD And I added a nude soldier guy at the bottom! :D

I wanted to submit this today 'cause Pokemon Black and White finally came out in the US! WOOT! I get it tomorrow, babeh! >:D

Oi! In case you're wondering who the person in the very front is, that 'tis me if I were in Pokemon. I have a shirt like that (except it's all red except for the black stripe) and a hate like that (except instead of a pokeball it's the Obama 'O'). And I messed up my face...somehow...it was supposed to be on colour...but it got different shades on it for some reason...O.o; I guess I didn't put enough colour on it or didn't see it before I added effects...O.o;

Also my shoulder REALLY hurts and I don't know...maybe I pulled it or something....O.o;

So I guess it's best that I didn't really go all out and make a serious picture.

I'm practicing doing a bunch of things right now (trying to find my inner art style).

My hair colour is basically the same colour as the boy trainer's (could care less what his name is...>3>) and is also messy-ish like that! XD So I'm totally going to choose to be the guy just 'cause we have the same hair! XD I usually do that...O.o; If I have one thing in common with them I will choose to be them. Most of the time I choose the girl. I chose May because my hair was about the same back then as hers, and I chose Dawn because she wore my favourite colours...back then...

I'm getting pokemon black...which is why the picture is mostly black and the pokeball in my hand is black.

I can't draw pokemon or animals, which is why there aren't any pokemon in this picture..."orz I've actually tried several times, but I just don't get it...O.o; Maybe I shouldn't think so much as that it HAS to look like how the original artist drew it (but it'd be nice to).

About the name...I was just going to put Pokemon BW...but I actually put BOW first...O.o; So I just went with it! XD

Enjoy! XD 'orz
