			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><!-- google_ad_section_start -->Hey guys, I just thought I'd show off some Photoshop work I did for my Facebook page (ask for a link, I don't just want to post it here as that will seem like blatant advertising.<br />
<br />
Its not exactly Pokemon Fan Art, but it is slightly related.<br />
<br />
First, is the <a href="http://bloodstar.net/sonataarticunowallpaper-1080p.png">wallpaper sized image</a> I made and then cropped/resized for the default photo and cover photo.<br />
<br />
Sources Used:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://greyanimebeast.deviantart.com/art/Articuno-110255309">Articuno</a><br />
<a href="http://hqwallbase.com/2009-aurora-borealis-wallpaper/">Aurora Borealis</a><br />
<a href="http://bloodstar.net/sonataarticunologo.png">Logo</a> (Created from an edit of <a href="http://bloodstar.net/sa_logo_new.jpg">Sonata Arctica's logo</a>)<br />
<br />
Next, is the <a href="http://bloodstar.net/sonataarticuno-patchdesign.png">patch design</a> made from the logo I made. I plan on getting this made so I can place it on my Battle Jacket.<br />
<br />
Finally, the <a href="http://bloodstar.net/sonataarticuno-albumart-frontcover-kanespics.png">front</a> and <a href="http://bloodstar.net/sonataarticuno-albumart-backcover-kanespics.png">back</a> album covers for the compilation CD I plan on making and handing out to friends (not going to dare selling it due to obvious copyright issues).<br />
<br />
What do you think?<!-- google_ad_section_end --></div>

XP The spoilers below contain some of my favourites. I'll warn you that it is rather image heavy~<br />
<br />
<div>
    <div class="pre-spoiler">
    <input type="button" value="Show Spoiler" style="width:150px;font-size:14px;margin:0px;padding:0px;background-image:url(***URL HERE***)" onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = '';this.innerText = ''; this.value = 'Hide Spoiler'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.value = 'Show Spoiler';}">
    </div>
    <div>
        <div class="spoiler" style="display: none;"><div style="border: 1px solid ;"><img src="http://i906.photobucket.com/albums/ac261/EpicLatiosFan/Latis.png"></div></div>
    </div>
</div><br />
<br />
This is one of my first drawings when I first got my tablet. (Probably my only one since I can do digital art without a tablet. :P) Latias and Latios are some of my all-time favourites~ What I would like to improve on this one is the background - it is sort of unfitting for this picture.<br />
<br />
<div>
    <div class="pre-spoiler">
    <input type="button" value="Show Spoiler" style="width:150px;font-size:14px;margin:0px;padding:0px;background-image:url(***URL HERE***)" onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = '';this.innerText = ''; this.value = 'Hide Spoiler'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.value = 'Show Spoiler';}">
    </div>
    <div>
        <div class="spoiler" style="display: none;"><div style="border: 1px solid ;"><img src="http://i906.photobucket.com/albums/ac261/EpicLatiosFan/Latiashasacookie_zpsaf624946.jpg"></div></div>
    </div>
</div><br />
<div>
    <div class="pre-spoiler">
    <input type="button" value="Show Spoiler" style="width:150px;font-size:14px;margin:0px;padding:0px;background-image:url(***URL HERE***)" onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = '';this.innerText = ''; this.value = 'Hide Spoiler'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.value = 'Show Spoiler';}">
    </div>
    <div>
        <div class="spoiler" style="display: none;"><div style="border: 1px solid ;"><img src="http://i906.photobucket.com/albums/ac261/EpicLatiosFan/Nova_zps732ba47a.jpg"></div></div>
    </div>
</div><br />
<br />
These next two spoilers were drawn on something called Colors!. Colors! from what I believe can be downloaded on some Apple products, the PSP and the Nintendo 3DS. I personally have the Nintendo 3DS version if you’re curious. The first one contains a generic picture of a Latias holding a cookie, whereas the other spoiler contains a fan character of mine (Or should I say Pokesona. Argh, I have a tough time with these terms.), Nova the Mienshao. She is the main character in a series of stories I made. There is another picture with her and the other main character, but it is a Pokemon that... many people dislike.<br />
<br />
<div>
    <div class="pre-spoiler">
    <input type="button" value="Show Spoiler" style="width:150px;font-size:14px;margin:0px;padding:0px;background-image:url(***URL HERE***)" onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = '';this.innerText = ''; this.value = 'Hide Spoiler'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.value = 'Show Spoiler';}">
    </div>
    <div>
        <div class="spoiler" style="display: none;"><div style="border: 1px solid ;"><img src="http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/044/0/9/nova_is_too_cool_for_school__re_upload__by_the_vengeful_mienfoo-d5uvlb2.png"></div></div>
    </div>
</div><br />
<br />
Here we see Nova in her youth. She was rather rowdy and insensitive as a Mienfoo, however.<br />
<br />
<div>
    <div class="pre-spoiler">
    <input type="button" value="Show Spoiler" style="width:150px;font-size:14px;margin:0px;padding:0px;background-image:url(***URL HERE***)" onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = '';this.innerText = ''; this.value = 'Hide Spoiler'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.value = 'Show Spoiler';}">
    </div>
    <div>
        <div class="spoiler" style="display: none;"><div style="border: 1px solid ;"><img src="http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/249/9/7/sonya_the_floatzel_by_the_vengeful_mienfoo-d5dqv8t.png"></div></div>
    </div>
</div><br />
<br />
This is another fan character of mine, Sonya the Floatzel. She is in the same stories as Nova, but she isn't the main character. She serves the role of a supporting character.<br />
<br />
<div>
    <div class="pre-spoiler">
    <input type="button" value="Show Spoiler" style="width:150px;font-size:14px;margin:0px;padding:0px;background-image:url(***URL HERE***)" onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = '';this.innerText = ''; this.value = 'Hide Spoiler'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.value = 'Show Spoiler';}">
    </div>
    <div>
        <div class="spoiler" style="display: none;"><div style="border: 1px solid ;"><img src="http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/106/1/1/karate_kick__by_the_vengeful_mienfoo-d61x39i.png"></div></div>
    </div>
</div><br />
<br />
Sonya is famed for her physical strength and is quite the battler.<br />
<br />
<div>
    <div class="pre-spoiler">
    <input type="button" value="Show Spoiler" style="width:150px;font-size:14px;margin:0px;padding:0px;background-image:url(***URL HERE***)" onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = '';this.innerText = ''; this.value = 'Hide Spoiler'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.value = 'Show Spoiler';}">
    </div>
    <div>
        <div class="spoiler" style="display: none;"><div style="border: 1px solid ;"><img src="http://i906.photobucket.com/albums/ac261/EpicLatiosFan/NovasValentinesDaydress_zpsd651de7d.png"></div></div>
    </div>
</div><br />
<br />
And then we see Nova again. She is in her Valentine’s Day attire, though. I drew this because I felt like I wanted to whip something up for a holiday, so I drew this.  <br />
This is also drawn so I can try and improve my shading. And I got to say, I love the shading in this drawing.<br />
<br />
<div>
    <div class="pre-spoiler">
    <input type="button" value="Show Spoiler" style="width:150px;font-size:14px;margin:0px;padding:0px;background-image:url(***URL HERE***)" onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = '';this.innerText = ''; this.value = 'Hide Spoiler'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.value = 'Show Spoiler';}">
    </div>
    <div>
        <div class="spoiler" style="display: none;"><div style="border: 1px solid ;"><img src="http://i906.photobucket.com/albums/ac261/EpicLatiosFan/NovaandJay-Thebestcoupleever_zps28a587bc.png"></div></div>
    </div>
</div><br />
<br />
(This spoiler above contains Sawk X Mienshao art. Don't like the idea of Sawk X Mienshao? Then don't look~ It's my opinion.)<br />
<br />
That note above spoiled it. XP Yup, Nova is paired up with a main character... who is a Sawk. It's my opinion though~ I like the idea of Sawk X Mienshao anyway. XP<br />
<br />
Back on topic, that Sawk is yet another fan character of mine named Jay. He is a main character like Nova, but I suppose he is... <i>the</i> main character of my stories. Some parts of this picture were scrapped too. I originally planned for real animals to be in these stories and once made Jay as some magician, but I wanted this story to set in some Pokemon-only world, and the magician thing was kind of unnecessary. (I like magicians, though. XP) Jay and Nova are married, by the way~<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><!-- google_ad_section_start -->So, awhile back, I came up with an idea I thought would be cool for another Pokemon region, but never really went beyond the name, theme, and real-world location it's based on.  Recently, however, I decided to put some more work into it.  It's called the Dukane Region.  I decided to make this separate from my art thread because it will be continuously updated.  Anyway, I'll start with basic information.<br />
<br />
<b>Game Titles:</b> Pokemon Forest Version, Pokemon Blaze Version, Pokemon Ocean Version (all three would be released at once and the starters' final forms would be the mascots)<br />
<br />
<b>Based On:</b> Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, US (the city I'm from.  I think it would make a fine base for a region.  Plus, I know more about this place than any other. lol)<br />
<br />
<b>Theme:</b> Geology/Earth’s history<br />
<br />
<b>New Types:</b> Light, Fairy<br />
<br />
Light is strong against: Dark, Water, Dragon, Ghost<br />
<br />
Light is weak against: Psychic, Grass, Poison, Fairy<br />
<br />
Light is resistant to: Light, Fire, Water, Dragon, Ghost<br />
<br />
Light is immune to: Dark<br />
<br />
Fairy is strong against: Psychic, Light, Fighting, Bug<br />
<br />
Fairy is weak against: Ghost, Ice, Fire, Poison<br />
<br />
Fairy is resistant to: Psychic, Light, Grass, Fairy, Fighting<br />
<br />
<b>Cities/Towns:</b> Chromine Town, Nickallo City, Copperton City, Alumina Town, Coballia City, Potassau City, Soden Town, Platinu City, Mangalo City, Lithville Town, Irono City, Zircon City, Tinoa Town, Silver City, Magneia City, Calcic Town, Zinco Town<br />
<br />
Each city and town is named for a metal.  You guess which is named for which.  Some should be obvious. ;) The reason for this is that Pittsburgh was once the largest producer of steel in the country.  It's still known as the Steel City today.<br />
<br />
<b>Map:</b> Here's a (sort of) gen 5-style map of the region.  It isn't quite complete though.  But most of it is done. (And yes, I'm aware I forgot to label routes 129 and 130. xP)<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1247.photobucket.com/albums/gg631/EmblemQueen/Dukanemap_zpsdc6207ae.png"><br />
<br />
Many of the locations draw parallels to real-world places in the Pittsburgh area.  I haven't come up with details for every place yet, but I'll explain what I've got.<br />
<br />
<b>Chromine Town</b> - This is the starting town.  Its real-world equivalent is Lincoln Place, the neighborhood I lived in when I was little.  Its name is also a reference to another game outside the Pokemon series.  Those who have played it should know what it is. lol<br />
<br />
<b>Alumina Town</b> - This little town has a library and Pokemon trainer school.  Its real-world equivalent is Munhall, a borough in the Pittsburgh area.  It actually has a library as well.<br />
<br />
<b>Nickallo City</b> - This city was once a factory and mill-based town, but the factories had made the area so polluted that they had to be torn down.  It's now the location of an indoor water park and water type gym.  Its real-world equivalent is Sandcastle Waterpark as well as the Waterfront.<br />
<br />
<b>Abandoned Mill</b> - The only remaining mill of the ones that had been torn down along the river here.  It was kept as a historic landmark and is home to many steel and electric type Pokemon.  There are actually remains of an old steel mill located roughly in this area in Pittsburgh too.<br />
<br />
<b>Copine Square</b> - Serves the same purpose as Amity Square in gen 4.  Copine is another word that means &quot;friend.&quot;  Its real-world equivalent is the Doggie Park.<br />
<br />
<b>Mangalo City</b> - This is a nature preserve and garden town.  It's also home to the Safari Zone.  Its real-world equivalent is the Pittsburgh Zoo &amp; PPG Aquarium.<br />
<br />
<b>Copperton City</b> - The largest city in the region.  It has the Contest Hall, Battle Institute, a skating rink where you can also find battles, a department store, and more.  Its real-world equivalent is downtown Pittsburgh and even has a building that resembles the PPG Building (a tall glass building with little towers at the top).<br />
<br />
<b>Entralink</b> - Basically the same as in gen 5, only it looks a little different.  Its real-world equivalent is Point State Park.<br />
<br />
<b>Geological Dig Site</b> - A public digging site and park where people can look at ancient rock formations, minerals, fossils, and even try their hand at digging up their own rocks.  Real world-equivalent is the Carnegie Mellon Museum of Natural History.<br />
<br />
<b>Alleny Mine</b> - A large mine where workers are digging up resources.  Its name comes from &quot;Allegheny,&quot; the name of the county Pittsburgh is in.  It's also the name of one of the three rivers.<br />
<br />
<b>Molten Cave/Earthen Grove/Coral Lake</b> - The location in this area depends on the version being played.  Molten Cave appears here in Blaze Version, Earthen Grove in Forest Version, and Coral Lake in Ocean Version.  In order to access all three in one version, the player would have to use the key system.  Each location is home to a legendary Pokemon.<br />
<br />
<b>Shining Tower</b> - This ancient and beautiful tower was built in tribute to the main legendary of this region and the master of the legendary Pokemon found in Molten Cave, Earthen Grove, and Coral Lake.<br />
<br />
<b>Silver City</b> - This is a city that would only be accessible after the main story.  It has the region's airport, which would be used to visit the Unova region.  Its real-world equivalent is the Pittsburgh International Airport, though it's not in exactly the same spot.  The Pittsburgh Airport is actually further west. xP<br />
<br />
<b>Steel Tunnel</b> - A tunnel that makes travel through this mountainous area a bit easier.  Its real-world equivalent is Fort Pitt Tunnel.<br />
<br />
<b>Floral Shrine</b> - A mysterious yet beautiful place that's said to be the home of a mythical fairy-like Pokemon...<br />
<br />
<b>Dragon Forest/Dragon Clearing</b> - A forest that's said to be the home of a dragon and plant-like mythical Pokemon.<br />
<br />
<b>Spooky House</b> - A long time ago, during Halloween, my stepbrothers and I saw a really old and creepy-looking house in our neighborhood.  So I thought why not throw in such a house on this map? lol As you might have guessed, lots of ghost type Pokemon live there.  Dark type Pokemon do too.<br />
<br />
<b>Pokewood Park</b> - This is another area that can't be accessed until after the main story is complete.  But it's a really awesome place!  It's a Pokemon theme park with lots of games to play, rides to ride, and battles to battle!  You'll win rare items and stuff if you win the games, and you can ride a ferris wheel, roller coaster, carousel, and boat ride.  You can battle while on the boat ride.  The Battle Coaster works much like the Nimbasa Gym in Pokemon BW.  You can ride the rides and play the games as much as you want, but you can only battle everyone in the park once a day.  Its real-world equivalent is none other than Kennywood Park, which is an amusement park!<br />
<br />
And that's all I have right now.<br />
<br />
<b>Gyms:</b><br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1247.photobucket.com/albums/gg631/EmblemQueen/CityGymtable_zps79496eef.png"><br />
<br />
<b>Pokemon League:</b><br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1247.photobucket.com/albums/gg631/EmblemQueen/Pokemonleaguetable_zpsc8fb155b.png"><br />
<br />
(the teams section is blank cause I don't have a full dex for the region yet)<br />
<br />
<b>Antagonistic Teams:</b> This region would have two villainous teams like gen 3 did.  Team Tropic and Team Arctic.  The former's goal is to make the climate warmer while the latter's is to make it cooler.  They're both after the legendary Pokemon needed to do such a thing and the player has to save them.  They'll try to use these Pokemon to bring Regasus forth as well and use it to complete their plans.  After the player stops them, they can catch Regasus and two of the other four legendaries that were involved.  The others would require the key system or trading in order to obtain.<br />
<br />
I also have a few Pokemon drawn, namely starters and one legendary.  You may remember them from my art thread:<br />
<br />
<img src="http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/068/3/6/fan_starter_pokemon_by_great_aether-d4s9g05.png"><br />
<br />
Grass type is Tawnog, fire type is Kinder, water type is Hippa.  Info <a href="http://great-aether.deviantart.com/art/Fan-Starter-Pokemon-289334597?q=gallery%3Agreat-aether%2F23562872&amp;qo=13">here</a>.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/069/0/d/fan_pokemon__regasus_by_great_aether-d3bd3ke.png"><br />
<br />
Light and flying type Regasus.  The main legendary.<br />
<br />
A new evolution stone would be introduced as well, the Rainbow Stone.  I've got a pic of it somewhere as well, but I need to do a little digging to find it.<br />
<br />
I don't have much of a Pokedex for this region yet, but I've decided there will be 192 total Pokemon in it, including event legendaries.  There will also be more new fossil Pokemon than any other existing region has introduced.  Here's what it has so far:<br />
<br />
<b>Dukane Pokedex</b><br />
<br />
#001: Tawnog (Grass)<br />
#002: Hograss (Grass/Normal)<br />
#003: Punxaton (Grass/Normal)<br />
#004: Kinder (Fire)<br />
#005: Ignihorn (Fire/Psychic)<br />
#006: Flaries (Fire/Psychic)<br />
#007: Hippa (Water)<br />
#008: Drippotta (Water/Fighting)<br />
#009: Hydrotamus (Water/Fighting)<br />
#186: Mosarain (Water/Dragon)<br />
#187: Ground/Grass legendary<br />
#188: Fire/Electric legendary<br />
#189: Flying/Ice legendary<br />
#190: Regasus (Light/Flying)<br />
#191: Event Fairy legendary<br />
#192: Event Grass/Dragon legendary<br />
<br />
And finally, that is all I have on this region so far. xP  I'd like to add either a Battle Frontier or Battle Subway to the region.  But I dunno which one yet.<!-- google_ad_section_end --></div>
