MW - Moonlight Hype Banner

Shh.  Just pretend it's Thursday.  ;P

So, in my head I had this idea for a Moonlight Wanderers banner.  The half-face thing is a little cliche, but I always kinda dug it.  To go what I thought was only a small step further, I thought it'd be a nice touch to include each of the main trainers' two main Pokemon (as the story isn't just about the people, after all).  

But I dunno.  I put a lot of work into it, and I think the drawings themselves look fine.  It's just that it seems so much more cluttered drawn out compared to how it looked in my head (which is especially crazy, because there were initially going to be more human characters depicted here, meaning twice as many Pokemon too!).  So I'm torn about whether I'll actually use this as an official banner or not.  At the very least though, I did take the time to make it, so I should at least share it. :)

As for everybody shown...

First box:
Hau with Fire Cat (his Litten) and Waffle (his shiny Pichu).

Second box:
Lillie with Nebby (the Cosmog) and an (unnamed?) Eevee.

Third box:
Maya with Tsukiko (her Popplio) and Cerise (her Fomantis)

Fourth box:
Midori with Herbert (her Bulbasaur) and Chompy (her Trapinch)

Fifth box:
Gladion with Null (Type:Null) and Fang (his Zubat)

(And if you're fuzzy on anyone, you can read up on Maya here, or Midori here, or the other three here.)  ^_^

Yes, there'll be MANY more Pokemon significant to the main story.  But besides not wanting to add more to an already crowded poster, I didn't want to show more for spoiler purposes.  Knowing the games could tell you what certain trainers (like Hau or Gladion) might have later.  But who has what and at which point could be considered spoilers for a story like this (especially with Maya and Midori).  So I wanted to keep it to two major front runners for everyone.  In the average supplemental art piece, these are likely going to be the Pokemon you'll see most often alongside these trainers.

And because I'll certainly be asked, yes, someone will have Rowlet.  Like the games, I've decided the owner of the third starter to be kept a secret for now.  But no, it's not who you probably think. ;P

Odd side note: I think this is the first time I've ever drawn an Eevee, a Trapinch, or a Zubat.  And I think I liked the way they came out best.  In particular, I've never had much love for Zubat until I made one with a super derpy smile. XD 

Anyway, that's enough rambling out of me for now.  I hope you like the pic even if it is a little inelegant.  ^_^
