Description
First. Upload. EVER!!!Okay, so I'm a new deviantArt artist. I decided for my very first uploaded artwork, I would have to choose something epic. So here it is!
Overall really happy with how this turned out. Really colorful and Red's expression is funny. He's all like "O-M-Geodude, what IS that??"
Please, for the love of Mew and all things wonderful, leave a comment! Help out this aspiring artist! I appreciate all feedback!
Inspiration for this piece:
A few weeks ago I watched a YouTube video about a glitch in the original Pokemon Red and Blue games that allowed you to catch the "hidden" Pokemon, Pokedex number 151, Mew. Mew wasn't supposed to be obtainable in those games, but the data for it was encoded into the games anyway, and some Pokemaniac figured out a way to trick the game into a Mew encounter without the use of a cheating or hacking device. I thought it was pretty cool.
Unfortunately this glitch isn't present in any games I own, so no Mew for me
But I still thought it would be cool to illustrate Red and his encounter with Mew. I mean imagine if you were just walking along when you spotted some crazy super rare Pokemon that isn't even recognized by the Pokedex (which is why there's a big "?" on the screen of his Pokedex).
I suck at drawing backgrounds, so I used a reference. I just googled "magical place" and I found a pic to draw from. It's still entirely hand drawn, I just had to look at something ^^.

As you said yourself, it is very colorful yet it all works together. The only thing I can see that catches my attention is that Pokemon trainer Red isn't as sharply shaded as the rest of the picture. It is quite good as it is, but I think it'd be phenominal if you could master a more constant shading across the picture. As one artist to another, good luck!

Thank you! The colors are richer in real life of course, my scanner isn't the greatest. But I see what you mean when it comes to consistency. Thank you so much for your input and encouragement!
