YOU ARE CHALLENGED BY RIVAL

Description

Been playing Platinum, and the rival is totally awesome. A spaz, but totally awesome. I think he bests Silver as my favourite rival now [saying that, much of my love for Silver comes from the Pokemon Special manga, where he actually has a character - I haven't even reached the Diamond/Pearl arc in PokéSpecial yet, so I really look forward to seeing what Pearl/Barry/Jun/THE DAMN RIVAL is like in that]*. He reminds me a lot of Flapjack [according to his mother, he even runs from the house at the beginning of the game yelling "Adventure!" which is just great] BRACKETS BRACKETS BRACKETS.

Uh yeah, I'm really low on supplies [three markers that I use regularly have just died out, and I don't have any spares for them], so you're getting digital art until I restock everything. CAN YOU GUYS TELL THIS IS MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT BLENDED SHADING ON PHOTOSHOP? IT'S TOTALLY ASS, ISN'T IT. I didn't want to do basic cel-shading because it would have looked even worse on that shirt. The tablet I have is way responsive, and tracks every little wiggle/twitch and lines come out all bumpy, so I had to resort to using the Pen tool for the lineart. It really is a pretty cool thing, only the lines look too stiff and boring. Also, no shading on the hair because trying to shade it in that style? Fuck. That. It would look awful.

* also, he has the best battle theme: [link]
