Description
Yay! Finished my latest pic! ^^Hope this meets everyone's standards, he he he.
Ah, yes, the things one does in one's sleep. I've done some strange and amusing things in my sleep, but I'm a sleep-walker, so...
*ahem* I've noticed that quite a few times Jessie and James have somehow managed to end up in rather questionable positions in their sleep, usually with one of them lying on a body part of the other. They already sleep pretty close to each other in the first place, but Jessie obviously decided that wasn't close enough for her, he he he.
Of course, James doesn't mind and certainly isn't about to wake her up to get her to move over. Why waste a perfect opportunity to watch Jessie in her sleep as she's snuggling into his arm?
Meowth is so a Rocketshipper, and he knows exactly what's going on here. And this is more ammunition to tease them with in the morning.

Wow! =3= The colours are great here! Also, I wanna say wow awesome the shading is cause getting the right colours for a night scene is tough! ( I think so anyway XD) Heh really love James's expression and Meowth having a eye open ;D So cute and an amazing job!

Indeed, making the night scene was a lot tougher than making a regular daytime pic. I'm glad you can appreciate that, and of course that you like the drawing overall. ^_^
Thank you! ^^

I'm glad you like it and that you noticed the little details like Jessie's night gown, as I do go to a lot of trouble to get these things right. ^^
And I agree, James is a big ol'teddy bear, he he he.

Wow, awesome! I'm doubly impressed with your backgrounds, I assumed you were using professional stock bg's till I looked closer. EXCELLENT stuff.
Now I really need to learn to use the pen tool. I can work with vectors fine in general but Photoshop's pen system confuses the heck outta me.

Thank you! ^_^ Backgrounds can be really hard, so I'm glad you're impressed.
The pen tool does take some getting used to, it took me a while to figure out exactly how it worked and how to use it properly.

This is sooo cute! It looks so professional!
I'm in the process of going through my old Team Rocket art and trying to finish some of them. Do you mind me asking your process? What program, drawing, scanning etc. I'm particularly interested in how you get such crisp lines.
Again, Great job! Hope you do more!

Shaami In reply to Chamel413 [2009-07-09 14:05:58 +0000 UTC]
Let's see...
First, I hand draw the characters, I use a mechanical pencil for this. Next, I scan it into Adobe Photoshop CS2, but I scan it so that it's a lot bigger than the original size. From there, I make a new layer and start to trace the lines with the pen tool, so then you have a path which you can stroke with a brush. So, it's a similar process that you would use to vector an image. Usually I trace the hair lines on a new path because I like to make them slightly thinner than the other lines. I then make a new layer again for the shadows, that involves using the pen tool again and tracing, they have to be on different paths for every different colour I use.
As I go along I merge the line layers together so that I can use the paint bucket to colour the characters in. However, I tend to make a duplicate layer for the lines, just so the colours are on a different layer, makes it easier to select the sections I want to colour, also it turns out more neat that way so the lines don't get messed up.
Backgrounds, I paint them from scratch in Photoshop, I just kinda make that up as I go along, he he he.
Well, I hope that helps and that my explaination makes enough sense.
And of course, thank you for your comment. ^^

Ah, so I do pretty the same, with difference that I don't use Photoshop, but Photoimpact
So I still don't get how do you get such neat lines while mine are so crappy.
I guess it's my hand-shaking >.>;

The pen tool is the biggest help. BEST. TOOL. EVER. You have so much control with it and you can get the lines to look exactly how you want. Gotta have lots of patience, though.

I'm terrible at the pen tool! I heard it takes lots of practice and patience. Just curious, how long does it take you to do a drawing like the one above?

Shaami In reply to Chamel413 [2009-07-28 08:26:18 +0000 UTC]
Oh, yes, lots of patience. I'm not sure exactly how much time it ever takes me because more often than not I get distracted and leave the drawing doing nothing for a while, he he he. But this one took me a few hours over the course of 3 days.
