PHEW...... took me a long time but I finally got this finished!!
sorry for being away for such a long time but I had some real life problems that kept me away from doing anything I want... However, shortly ago I started something on this particular idea I had in mind as a gift for an artist I greatly admire!

So I Found this Wikia about Tarzan and I created an account there, and I started editing my own userpage, talking about whats my favorite scene and what Pokemon would fit really well portraying Tarzan in the Disney movie (such as Machoke and Grovyle); and I thought, "they're all good, but there is ONE Pokesona that would top every other Pokemon off!". And so I started working on turning BuizelManiac's OC Buizilla into the King of the Jungle himself =w=

I really dont know if he'd like the idea of me making this or not, but I figured it'd be nice as a gift for him, to show my apreciation of his works. needless to say, he is the only one who can use this for his own purposes (regarless of what purposes), and NO ONE ELSE is allowed to freely make usage of this image. this image is PURELY for entertainment puposes and as a gift for BuizelManiac... I SAID.

INSIGHT ON HOW I MADE THIS:
    1. Took a pic of Tarzan's cover art and did the lineart for his entire body except his head, adding details to make it look like Buizilla's body. (Details included adding arm fins, replacing loincloth with Buizilla's trademark shorts, changing the amount of fingers and toes to 4 and 3 respectively, adding the back spots, and adding the tail).

    2. To make Buizilla's head, I admit I had to do the lineart using as base one of BuizelManiac's work, though I did changed his eyes so that he looks more serious and determined n_n (i apologize, its just I cant draw properly, I know, I suck T_T). I then added the glasses, using a semi-transparent white layer for the lenses and black outline in a different layer for the glasses's... plastic part. @_@

    3. having placed Buizillas head, then i painted everything in a different layer, to be able to easily correct mistakes, until everything was nice and colorful and perfect :,3

    4. To make that epic "BUIZILLA" logo, I just took the original "TARZAN" logo and copied/pasted specific parts of the letters and rearranged/edited them to create the text. I also used bit of brown with a brush for the letter's shadows. I turned out AMAZING  

    5. The background... isn't mine. Nope, not at all. I just took it, made it bigger, spun it a little and used it. I dont take credit for it; only take credit for the rest of the image.

FUN FACT: When I was making this picture, I was thinking Buizilla in that pose would fit perfectly on top of a surfboard taking on the waves, but i dunno if i will ever make that, so this will do for now e_e (I also wanted to make a picture of Buizilla wearing Tarzan's tux but Im too exhausted to do anything else :,V)

Either way BuizelManiac, if you see this, I hope you like it and hope to see more of your stuff in dA!! You rock, dude!!
