Description Update: I added a small frame in the back. Ultimately, I could not take it and I needed to add a bit more to it to cover up the white. Oh, look! there's Ninetales' Pokeball!



What’s the matter? Were you expecting ponies? LOL YEAH RIGHT!

This is late image I was going to post weeks ago but due to my life assuming more responsible roles, I just dint get the chance to finish this until this week. I can’t even talk to her due to the fact she has an internship now. Lucky devil she is. Anyway this was a late birthday image, I suppose.

This image I wanted to focus more on cute rather than ecchi/sexy artwork. I want people to experience that when they visit this gallery, they will not always expect something sexy or revealing. However, I can do it but let’s take a break from it for now. I came across some random image I found over the internet with Ninetales and I thought it was cute. I realized that girls or anyone who likes Pokémon in general would admire an image with a female trainer cuddling with her Pokémon. At first, I was hesitant on choosing between Ninetales or Espeon. And I wanted the primary focus to be on one girl and her evolved Pokémon. Not only is Ninetales a top choice for any fire Pokémon trainer but after I seen the episode Just Waiting on a Friend, Pokémon Master quest: episode 234 (I think…) and I had a whole different perspective on Nintetales. Living alone for over 200 years with no one by its side. Thus when it came across Ash and co., it was determined to keep Brock by its side. Using an illusion to trapping Ash, Brock and Misty to believe they've come across a temple. But at the end, it was Brock who gain control over Ninetales and he set it free. I personally thought he should have kept it. It’s a very strong episode. It’s one of my favorites and then some.

to bring this post to a close, I'm glad I could be able to post again. Now that I've got this image done, I'm going for my Sonic 20th image, and this will feature another type. Most notably an electric type. June 23, 2010. Look out for it...

This is so cute, I love the shading. You also made the fur on Nine Tails pretty realistic.

Wow, this is extravagant! I absolutely love how everything is made! The way you make your work is a complete substitute for words alone; It's like all of the shading that you've done in the work fully communicates how you feel. Daisy's dress is beautiful, I especially love how you made her sleeves fluffy. It's like I can actually feel it. You made it so 3D-like and you even went so far as to put shading inside of the sleeves to give it more depth. Don't get me started on the eyes- the way you colored them yellow gave the picture a beautiful contrast. The way how you made that the only colored part out of the whole picture made it stand out even more, and that makes her so pretty. Even the extra folds you put in the hair; fantastic.

The Ninetails is also very adorable. The way he's snuggling up to Daisy is so cute and it shows such a lovely bond between them. I mean, even the way you made his eye closed is fantastic(I absolutely love the way how an animal closes his/her eyes when an owner is cuddling to it, it's just too adorable). And plus, just how you made Daisy's sleeve, I absolutely LOVE how you made the fur! You drew it just as realistic! I feel like I can actually touch it!

The background that you drew also hugely matches the theme of the picture. Not only do the Poke-balls fit to the illustration, but the orange frame that you added to this masterpiece adds even more cuteness to it.

*INHALES* sorry about the rant there.

Anyways I know I haven't been around to see your work much, and I apologize for that, but I see so much improvement concerning the shading and details throughout your work, it's so amazing.

If I'm not here by time of your next deviation, I apologize...

I have to say, you outdid yourself with the Ninetails here. The fur is very impressive. That must of took some fancy shading work.

In my opinion, however, I don't get much of a cute feeling from the image. You said you wanted to focus on it, so, even though I'm a lesser artist, I hope I can give some good feedback on why I feel this way.

The feeling I get more from this image is a "This is my pokemon and it belongs to no one else." My reasoning behind this seems to lye all within Daisy's facial expression. With her eyelids half closed, exposing only the lower half of her eyes, gives off a bit more of a playful, seductive kind of look. The same with her smile, I feel a more playful approach. Also the outfit to me seems one sort of being reveling with the short shorts.

I would just like to say again I mean no offense, and hope that my criticism was constructive. I've been trying to provide more helpful comments lately instead of just saying how awesome your work is, because we already know your work is awesome.

I think you drew Ninetales pretty well here! If I saw Daisy with any Pokemon, personally I think it'd be some type of Normal or Grass type Pokemon, like Bellossom or Herdier.

todd18 In reply to CrimsonTheMecha [2011-06-08 00:12:04 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. I actually thought about the kind of Pokemon I'd draw for Daisy and I decided to go with cute/legendary because I like Daisy so much I want her to have the best. I like power so grass Pokemon seem weak in my eye. You'll see that image...sometime in January.

CrimsonTheMecha In reply to todd18 [2011-06-09 16:47:07 +0000 UTC]

Rofl, Grass Pokemon, weak? Come back to me once you fight a Venasaur with Earthquake and Power Whip, :3, there are a ton of awesomely strong grass types out there dude! Especially Shiftry and Cacturne, those guys can totally wreck other Pokemon, though Bug types get a huuuuuge advantage over them xD, x4 damage.

todd18 In reply to CrimsonTheMecha [2011-06-09 17:22:11 +0000 UTC]

Those pokemon are very strong, I agree. But I don;t think I'd pal around with a Venasuar or a Shiftree if I can control Mew, Lugia or even Entei. That is raw power and it is nearly impossible to beat them. The only legendary Pokemon that can probably be defeated is Dragonite. Dragonite is a strong pokemon but it can be beat if a pokemon is around its level or intelligent in terms of battle tactics. But Dragonite alone is one of the most intelligent pokemon out there...

Sneasel, use iiiiiice puuuunch :3. There are a lot more Pokemon intelligent than Dragonite xD, well, that is you've paid attention to season 3 4 or 5 (though I know you haven't, not blaming you or anything xD). Metagross actually has a brain comparable to that of a super computer!

Oh, my gosh, that Ninetails is GORGEOUS! It just looks so fluffy, and very happy to be cuddled by her trainer! =3 Daisy is cute as always, and I love her new outfit, and of course the Pokeball earrings! =3

I remember that Ninetails episode! Wasn't that the one where she was waiting for hundreds of years for her master who looked just like Brock? I always thought that was so sad...

todd18 In reply to StaciNadia [2011-06-08 16:22:32 +0000 UTC]

Fluffy Ninetales for the cute little princess. That Ninetales is glad to have someone care and love for it, which Daisy will most likely do in the process. I'm surprised no one has pointed out, but Daisy's outfit is similar to Blaze the Cat's as she is the element of fire and Nintales is a fire Pokemon.
