Well, after lots of patience, blood, sweat and tears, here is the final composition of the 1st Generation Legendary bird Pokémon I have been creating for about what feels like a month on and off now.

I wish I could have done a bit more with the background to make it look more pleasing, but alas, my computer and Photoshop really slowed down a lot due to the huge size of the final piece. It took me about 10 minutes to save the final composition! (Which was over 240MB) The final JPEG for printing to poster size is nearly 8MB!

But I’m pretty pleased with it overall, and this has been a great learning project for me.
Thanks to all of you who have commented on my WIP’s of the single birds and thanks for all your support too.

Hopefully, once I get my Print account up and running on deviantART, I will be selling this as a print. I am having it printed poster size for a friend and myself. I am excited to see how that one turns out!

If this hadn't been so beautifully interpreted, I wouldn't be faving it. But you made them your own, and I commend you on that.
