Bugging Misty

Description

Fanart of Ash, Misty, Caterpie, and Pikachu, inspired by the Pokemon anime's premiere episodes. (Namely based on Episode 003: "Ash Catches a Pokemon!" Ash's first Pokemon capture is his green caterpillar from the Viridian Forest, Caterpie, who's quite smitten with Misty…much to bug-phobic girl's dismay. Hehe).

No matter how many years it's been, and no matter how many more seasons Pokemon lasts, I'll always cherish the anime's first three episodes. Ash and Misty made quite a pair back then; them constantly arguing, Ash barely getting his bearings of life on the road, Misty being petrified of bugs…ah, those were the days! Nostalgia, anyone?

Art-wise, I tried methods with this artwork that are different from my previous illustrations. This image was stylized to be comical, cartoony, and cutesy, influenced by anime/manga "chibi" renderings (purposefully disproportionate/sloppy body parts, large heads/eyes, sweatdropping, etc. for example). Also, I fiddled with this pic's perspective, detailing the foreground while blurring the background. Otherwise, I used the same methods here as I've done with most of my other works: first sketched on paper, scanned/digitally re-sketched, Photoshop airbrushing/layer effects, and color blending in Corel Painter.

Pokemon is © Nintendo, not me. Otherwise, the anime's current episodes would still have good old Ash/Misty moments like the glory days.

Thanks for viewing!

Careful, Ash. If she recoils, you're landing face-first on the ground.
