    Wow, more nice work from you, especially with that glowy effect around the fire and how it plays off the rest of the braixen. I really enjoy how you color; the vibrant, painting style is something I wish I could pull off. Any general advice for an amateur colorist?

      my advice: use as many layers as you need to. that's not too helpful but that's... pretty much what i do. just use a ton of layers for everything, haha.

      thank you so, so much! you leave such kind comments & they make me smile a lot.

        Is there any way that you make your vibrancy so.. soft, though? I think that's what enchants me so much, the softness~ and hey, some artists might tell me to just go figure it out myself entirely, so I appreciate your willingness to offer any advice.

        You're quite welcome, I've enjoyed coming across your work recently, and I hope to see more!

          just for reference, i use sai for most of my pictures. i think for the "softness" you're talking about i first did the shading+highlights in pen and then went over them with watercolour, and after that i used the eraser on full density to make it a little more refined and in the shapes that i wanted. unless you are referring to something else with softness... i hope that sorta answers your question though!

          hehe i'm glad. i hope my work continues to please.

            Ooh, no, this is actually a huge help for me! I need to get myself a copy of sai but I used Photoshop in the meantime, and you just got me to start experimenting with some of the watercolor brushes and low opacity soft brushes for the glow. What a difference, thanks!

    Congrats on completing your pokedex! :D I completed mine about a month ago. Can't say i've had any luck finding any shinies out in the wild/friend safari though, but I did go about breeding for shinies prior to completing my dex, and managed to get my own shiny fennekin and Honedge from it! :3
    I'll be honest, at first I really didn't care for Shiny Fennekin and it's line, but i've since grown greatly attached to mine.

    As for the picture, I love it to bits. The fire, and the shading/lighting coming from it is fantastic, and really makes that lovely purple pop all the more :3
