From the Rust Syndicate, the cunning Corbeau...
screen-cap redraw of his introduction in Le Super-Tournoi de Jacinthe
I'll be posting my first attempt at a speed paint (of this work) next week or so, so keep an eye out for that, uwu
#pokemon legends za#plza#pokemon#corbeau plza#corbeau pokemon#corbeau#my art#fanart#redraw#25 hrs total. fitting bc this is from ch 25 of the game#not supposed to be a 100% accurate copy. i wanted the lighting to be kinda dreamy. bc he's dreamy. pretend i didn't say that though.#not that im like embarrassed to be thirsting after a fictional character or anything. nah it just feels weird to call a mob boss dreamy#like even if he's supposed to be a more idealized version of one and NOT a realistic depiction of the yakuza#this looks way better on my tablet screen than my pc monitor. hope it looks good on yours. the difference is vast.#at first i thought the sbc battle court had shit lighting. nope. its well lit. the color scheme is just dark as fuck for some reason.#maybe its a reflection of Jacithe's heart. love Jacinthe & her devious whimsy#i really love how the areas where the teams are have heavy decor elements from their right hand. the komo-o couches in the sbc#dynamo being in grandpas garage. justice fist have all those lamps & training dummies. the eastern inspo steel decor in the rust syndicate#i feel like it shows how much respect & value they hold in them. and they usually have a defensive type advantage-- everyone except lebanne#real talk I feel like the chairs i the rust syndicate office are left overs from when philippe was in charge. due to the size i mean#the aesthetic is still like modern zen kinda thing. philippe values corbeau so much i feel like he'd have some japanese insp. elements adde#in before transferring his power. but the building is definitely a new addition from the last 5 years. so it aint just a remodel#so theyre probably as old as the building but just let me have this as a head cannon#he looks so fucking tiny in his own office. big ass chair. big ass desk. platform is a nice touch tho. does establish some power & presence#i see the appeal of a large desk but when it comes to the chair im lowkey worried about his back#decided i need to buckle the fuck down and actually try and draw a background. i didn't hate it as much as i thought i would#let's see i think i had the hardest time with the nose?#wasn't even sure how to do the couch fabric. the texture looks like complete shit i game so i just kinda did what felt right#like it looks so flat with weird protrusions instead of what im pretty sure are supposed to be those buttons#i want to work on something funny next. i have a lot of stupid ideas for him. idk if they're ACTUALLY funny but I think they're hilarious
