What: Pokémon, Super Smash Bros. Brawl<
How: Graphite scan, Paint Tool SAI, Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0
When: 2008

Notes: Well, have you?

This is one of the Pokémon Trainer's victory poses... I go "awww" inside every time I see it. I like the brown/white/grey costume for this character, and I'm... pretty sure that I've colored it totally wrong in this picture. n_n;<p>Today I learned that my copy of Paint Tool SAI is only a trial version - and once it runs out, you can still use it as normal except you can't save anything. I had to outline and color this all in one sitting, something that I normally do not do (I'm lazy and take a lot of breaks). It was really scary not being able to save. So, the panicky rushedness also contributes to the inaccurate colors and... the ghostly white outline (I had to use Print Screen to get this into Photoshop to add the gradient background, and the blur is a result of removing the white background that was supposed to be transparent).<p>Umm, I'm sure there was lots of other stuff I wanted to say about this picture, but I don't remember now.
