Description
Mewtwo is on his way to find something... someone.
This one has been sitting around in my WIP folder since December of last year.. OTL. Been slowly working on it here and there between other projects because I'm a bit.. uh, behind on a lot of stuff. Which is why I'm able to post more lately bc most of my WIP work is almost complete. The silver lining..?
Anyway, this could be a stand alone illustration or a lead up from my previous animated scene I did >> [Here] << for H-Falcon 's fanfic story "The Joy of Joy" (which yes I am still working on the comic version of that project... it's just a lot of work so it's taking me a while.. >_>;;; ), where after Mewtwo discovers Joy is no longer at the previous Pokemon Center, he takes off to return to Johto in search of her.
I have a couple other lead up teaser illustrations like this one that will show him on his journey before finally leading up to the comic's opening page. WHICH I am very excited about finally sharing it. I've put so much work and love into the project and it means a lot to me to finally get some of those pages posted.
I also wanted to mention that I am just really happy with how this turned out.
I've spent a ridiculous amount of time over the last year and a half studying the hell out of OG anime Mewtwo's design. It is both Falcon and my absolute favorite interpretation of him, that getting him as accurate as I can was so important to us both, but it didn't come easy... I hadn't done an anime art style in years... and OG anime Mewtwo is deceivingly difficult to draw accurately, especially when even in the movie how he is drawn can shift from scene to scene at times, with a lot of specific angles I love to draw, are never being shown at all. Trying to interpret how the original animators might have done him from a specific angle has been a challenge, to say the least...
Oh, and I wanted to share a song/video that we came across last year that has been really inspirational and motivating, and a perfect song, I think, for this particular illustration and the project, and hell... life in general, really. A fan did an AMV for the CG remake of the 1st movie using the song "What Are You Waiting For?" by Nickelback. Link to the video is here [Here] (and I don't wanna hear the internet meme hate for that band plz... god if I don't already know what the internet thinks of them..).
Hope you enjoy and I have more to share soon! ❤
