Let me begin by replying to the current topic:
Since Misty has been confirmed to possibly make an appearance in D/P by her seiyuu herself, do you think that she is going to return for a set number of episodes and then leave like before, or do you think that this will finally be the time that she returns to the main cast?
In my personal opinion, it's not likely that she will make a full-fledged return, though, mind you from the way things are going with the show, anything is possible XD. The writers did this before: knowing that there are lots of Misty fans who will watch the show just for Misty (in proper context), they may just be putting Misty in the show for a few more episodes either because they don't have anything else better to do, or they just want to try to make all the watchers come back to the show in hope that Misty will join the cast once again, and then shatter their (and our) dream. However, looking past this likely possibility, there is still a
chance that the authors may use this opportunity as a test and actually bring her back! I know that this could even spark a big chain effect and get pokemon atleast a little bit more popular again, but then again, the authors are probably in a position where they stubbornly want to try something 'new' and 'fresh', without taking risks for the fans they already lost =P. That's my opinion atleast. I'm sure you guys have a better idea of this than I, so yeah XD.
@Anime/Mangalover247: YAY! I'm sooooo happy you posted your artwork =D. From my perspective this isn't all too bad. The best features of your drawing is in her expression. You captured Misty's expression very well, especially the meaningful tears of loneliness or sadness (I can't completely tell without more body language). Her hair also resembles Misty's long, mermaid-like hair (*refers to Mermaid Misty costumes) which is a definite shine of beauty and awesomeness ;). Now, with EVERY drawing there is always something that can be made better (atleast if you can catch it ^__^). Here, you should work a bit more on shaping her body so that she has better body language with her expression ;) [Though in some way it still works =D~ so it's your opinion if you want to change that or not]. I suggest you have Misty's hands perhaps behind her body (so that she gives out that feeling of want~ I don't know =P). You can do this by using the rules of proportions (circles and lines) by making circles from her shoulders and use two parallel lines curving behind the body you've made. Remember, you made Misty in an arbitary angle, so make sure that her left hand is behing the body that is sticking out~ it makes it more realistic =). Other than this you could also curve the neck a bit more left so that it adds to her curvature, again adding to the pose. You can do this by starting at the end of her collar (which you've already drawn) and make a slow left-influenced curve ending midway between the line you've chosen to end the neckline to her face. I think that would make the picture even more gorgeous than it already is ^____^. I hope this could help =) and I reaalllly hope to see more of your work AML247
