GIGANTAMAX CHARIZARD

Gigantamax Charizard has been a pattern that I have been slowly working on since December 2020. The hardest part of making Gigantamax Charizard is the wings because they are flames. The one part that was not able to figure out is having the clouds circling the flame on the tail. I have included the color lists for both Gigantamax Charizard and Shiny Gigantamax Charizard.
