With each gift given, there's always the question of whether the recipient will like it or not... This picture, for my dear friend Splash, takes that question up a notch. I wanted to surprise her, but I don't know which of the new fifth generation Pokémon she's fond of so I challenged myself to see how well I could pick a set that she might like. A surprise? Definitely! A pleasant surprise? No telling! Initially I had about 10 or so picked out to choose from. I got rid of a few including Krookodile as too likely (since it seems 80% of all players have it on their teams by default). Anyway, here's hoping I wasn't too far off the mark in my choices.
Gift aspects aside, I actually drew and inked this by hand, six Pokémon I've never drawn before, relative in scale to one another, with minimal erasing and no digital editing on the line art. That's... kind of unheard of for me. I shocked myself, in fact.
