Um. Yes. I did actually spend ALL DAY, Sunday, working on this..........and I think we can all tell that I pretty much suck at watercolors. :<

OH WELL. flops

Have some Ariel in her "mahou shoujo" outfit. XD

Pokemon belongs to Nintendo/GameFreak. OC belongs to me.

    Honestly, this looks stunning! You definitely put a ton of effort! 👍

      Yay! Thanks! :D

      I know a photo (or scan) never do these things justice--I used a lot of pastel colors on this, so the original is WAY brighter (in reality). The hard part was waiting for huge sections to dry before I could do other ones.......there are a few places where, if you look close, I didn't wait long enough and it bled a little into other colors. But the one thing this does better over mere markers, is that I can do the stark-color gradation for her mane and wrist/ankle fluff a whole lot better, without it looking like I put two colors next to each other. :)

      As is unusual for me--I did the inked lines after it was painted and dried and flattened out. I can tell you, my lining pens (a mix of Sakura and Faber-Castell) DO NOT like going over painted areas--I could do a little bit before the residue built up on the tip and I'd have to scribble on a scrap piece of paper to get the ink flowing again. XD

            Thanks! :D

            There are times when I never notice something until it's posted and then I'm like "SERIOUSLY?!" XD
