Description
This is a request from !All she really wanted was an awesome Mudkip, but I just kinda added in the Dratini...It was such a cute idea! I coulnd't NOT do it!
So please forgive me if you don't like it
But I worked hard on it and I thought it turned out pretty good 8D
I think the Dratini's eyes are my favorite part ^^
Remember: !!!
First sketched, then colored in colored pencil, then outlined in ink pen
Only the art belongs to me

As always, awesome art! The expressions of Mudkip and Dratini are so adorable, and the idea of the picture is irresistible. the shading, also, is in wonderful quality, especially the water, the grass, and Mudkip's eyes. The composition is expertly done, and your choice of an uncluttered background/foreground keeps bringing the viewers eyes to Dratini and Mudkip, where a wonderful surprise is in the happening. Great job on your part also in the coloring of Mudkip's body. The beautiful blue shades seem to radiate on the page. And with Dratini in the water, the shadow Dratini cast on the water is remarkably done.
As for suggestions, I might suggest that you place the signature in the bottom left corner. On the top left corner it seems a little too noticable (I thought it might've been an oddly-shaped cloud?) But this flaw can never make the picture less than outright wonderful, and I applaud you on another job well done!

Thank you thank you thank you as always! You certainly know how to bring a smile to my face! XD You know half the things you compliment me on, I don't even realize I did lol! And yeah, I always feel awkward with the signature, since I don't usually have room down in the corner. But thanks for that, hopefully it will make my work look more proffesional.

You are very welcome! (And yes, most things we do when we draw are subconsciously done.

^^ Squee!! its awesome!! the Dratini was a nice touch (its another of my favorites!). once again beautiful coloring. the background is amazing, it really compliments Mudkip and Dratini. it is nice that you included some sort water into the image. n_n thanx so much!! its cute!

Really? Cuz it was either Dratini or Feebas. And thank you, backrounds are usually nice in pictures XD. And 'some sort' of water! XD thanks! lol, it turned out better then I expected lol. Water isn't one of my strong points
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
^^ either one would've worked, i love both Dratini and Feebas! haha i guess i'm just a water pokemon fan! (one of my other favs is Kyogre!!) usually my drawings dont have backgrounds, im not too good. i wouldnt guessed, the pond looks great!

Wow, really? Personally I prefer fire type pokemon. Especially the canine-type. And thanks
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well, i like Houndoom and Houndour . . . i also like Charmander and its evolutions (probably the only pokemon that stands on two legs that i like, other than Riolu) and Cyndaquil and its but it just seems that the majority of what i like is water. you know, i really like Wurmple too, i prefer Dustox to Beutifly though. Wurmple's just really cute. and there's Turtwig as well . . . Electrike . . . oh there's a bunch!! XD

Ah geez I know how that is. Too many to count XD See I don't really like the bug type...It's not like I scream whenever I see a bug or anything, I just...don't like em lol. So yanma might be one of my least favorite pokemon...cuz one of the things i hate most is dragonflies *shiver*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
^^ i dont like Yanma too well but Yanmega is mighty cute! yeah, you know they're coming out with black and white?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Of course! If I didn't then I would by now, seeing all the gen5 starters here on DA. All them hatin on that water type...I think its cute. I actually like all of them
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i havent seen the starters yet, could you send me a link? i want to buy it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, well the actual game isn't out yet. I'm sure you could find a picture of the startes by just typing in the search bar "5th generation starters"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i know but when it comes out im soooo getting it! i got Soul Silver upon its release. i'll do that
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I still haven't gotten that...i'll get it once i buy and beat black/white i suppose XD cant have to much pokemon
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
nope, i used to have all of the GBA games until i gave my sister emerald, sold ruby, and gave my friend both firered and leafgreen. not all i have is sapphire, oh well its my favorite because of Kyogre!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I actually still have those. Somewhere in my room maybe...I have Pearl too :3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i have diamond (once again i like Dialga and cant stand Palkia because it stands on 2 feet) my friend has the original gold vesrsian that im borrowing (cant play it though cause my batteries wont work my color!) ive always wanted colessium and gale of darkness (i think thats its name) but whatever . . .
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh, i have the colessium game! XD dont bother, its boring
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i used to have a cheat book for the four original GBA games and colessium and i've always wondered what it means by "a girl will join your party, name her" can you explain that?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah. The game is like a role playing game, you can run around as a character and stuff. When you get to a certain part in the game, a new girl will join you (as in follow you around) for the rest of the game. You can't really get her to go away, so she just follows you around. And well, you get to pick her name
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh. and you say its boring? maybe someday i'll find a way to play it and make my own judgement. what about Gale of Darkness? have you played that one?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, all you really do is battle...not much of a plot. but no, I havent played that one, sorry
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh. well i might get that one too. well . . . there are other games that i would like to get, so colessium i probably wont get for a while unless i find it for like dirt cheap
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
