PKMN-Steam: Like a Moth to the Flame

There's no way Cher can resist dressing up or going to a magical cirque.  She's also going to be my entry for the contest~

I was super-psyched about the masquerade theme this year, because I finally had an excuse to design a costume for Cher based off of this beautiful vintage costume. After looking through the possible moth/butterfly mons I had to go with Volcarona because 1) Cher's a pyromaniac and 2) They're sooooo pretty.

I kinda struggled a bit with designing the costume, as you can see this looks nothing like my initial design.  Then I remembered how big Art Nouveau/Art Deco was during the time the inspiration picture was taken, and I started to go with a Mucha-style costume and it just seems to really fit Cher. The reason that the wings don't look exactly like the sprites or in the anime is because I had a hard time lining up the spots, and when I read that Volcarona wings were based off of tiger lilies I had to do some research. Turns out I liked tiger lily spots a lot more.

Anyways hit me up with a note or find me in chat (although I might be busy working on stuff) if you wanna do an event RP
