This picture was done as part of an art trade with a fellow Pokémon fan, who goes here on DeviantArt by the name deepgreeneden. Originally we agreed to swap pictures with each other almost a year ago (she was going to do Miyamoto for me in exchange for Mawile), but only recently did she manage to get ahold of me to give me her pic and obviously I'm only getting this one up now. Hopefully she'll end up enjoying it all the same.

As for the pic itself the entire thing was done in Photoshop (the only art program I have on this computer, and a very outdated LE version at that. Then of course I'm *still* stuck having to do everything with a mouse; no wonder these things always take me forever XP). I tried something a bit different with the outlines this time, going for a much more subtle look and I think the effect was pretty interesting... it turned out almost exactly as I originally envisioned it in my head anyway and I usually consider that a good sign.
