Description

Portrait of Jirachi from Pokemon

This was a piece I did to procrastinate on an experimental piece going beyond my comfort zone (because it was getting too frustrating lol) and a contest entry.. annd of course I ended up just working on it every chance I got and finished it first. I really gotta stop painting portraits just because they're fun and learn the other things I want to as well. 

Anywho I hope you like this :) Been a while since I last posted a piece of art. 

Critiques appreciated as always :heart:

<img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="37" height="25" alt=":squee:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="600" title=":squee:"/> oh my god! This is hands-down the most incredible humanization of a Pokemon I have ever seen! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="20" height="19" alt=":shocked:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="233" title="Shocked"/>
This was the first piece in your gallery my eyes were drawn towards and I took note of her hair adornments and thought "That looks remarkably like Jirachi" and then I saw the title! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/l…" width="19" height="19" alt=":la:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="577" title="La la la la"/>

The telescoping focus brings attention straight to her remarkable eyes. The coloring of them is fantastic and I'm so impressed how you managed to keep the markings under her eyes from looking the least bit clownish.

I love the softness of her hair and her hand's gesture is relaxed and her overall posture and expression has the air of mysticism and immortality.

Now I've spent a long time staring at this piece, trying to find something to actually critique rather than just gush on how gorgeous it is. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/g/g…" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="100" title="Giggle"/> Let me tell you, it's been quite difficult and I've come up with one minor thing:
The eyelashes of her lower eyelids end a little abruptly at the half crescents. I can see shading there, so maybe those lashes are just darker in that area?

I dare to hope this is the beginning of series of humanized Pokemon. I would be thrilled to see more! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/h…" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="357" title="Heart"/>
