ATC #15: Relaxing on a Lily Pad"Sometimes, the best thing in the world is just to relax in the middle of your favorite pond and watch the Yanma buzz about."
For Christmas in 2010, I wanted to draw a set of ALL of the starter Pokemon as ATCs (Artist Trading Cards) so I could give them away to some of the local kids and friends at my local Pokemon TCG League. I drew the entire set of starters in two days. Unfortunately, they were never inked (most of my ATC series aren't), but even in pencil they look kinda nice. Maybe someday I will remaster them!
Ok, now this is definitely one of my favorites from my ATC series. I really love how this adorable little Mudkip turned out!
It just looks so cheery and happy sitting on that lily pad. I'm not impressed with how its tail turned out, though, but other than that it turned out pretty nice. At least for my standards. 
The background looks a little more detailed than it actually is; I just scribbled like crazy to make the trees. The Yanma was a nice little detail, though. Drawn in December 2010.

Its so happy! Wish I was lazing around on a pond right now. But I can just imagine a Magikarp leaping from the water and nabbing that Yanma.

Haha, yeah, that would be incredibly relaxing. Incredibly. But yeah, that would be an awkward photobomb!

Whoa... lily pad? HAH. You're gonna freak out when you see my version of Mudkip! xD
This is so cute though. <3 The fact that he's so incredibly happy makes this picture. XD

This is absolutely amazing! And, I agree that the Yanma was a nice touch c: (Of course, the tail isn't all that bad. Maybe if it didn't look like it was flattened onto the lily pad. And sorry if that came off as rude, I didn't mean it in a rude way)

Oh yeah, I know what you mean, it does look kinda squishy and weird.
