This is great! I love the idea of Togekiss as a barn owl: usually (myself included) it is thought of as a dove!

Thank you! I confess that I was strongly influenced by this work here:Β rajewel.deviantart.com/art/Kirβ¦
The Toge-line has always been one of my favorite Pokemon lines. I confess to being very disappointed by Togekiss when it came out in forth gen. I wanted it to be something like this: azuregryphon.deviantart.com/arβ¦
Eventually I came to terms with it but for me it has always been a predator. I would not have come to terms with it so quickly had I seen the dove fan art at that age. Nothing against doves but I like predatory animals better than prey animals.Β

duuuuude this is amazing! I need to learn how to use water color xD and...what was the salt for? it has something to do with the water or....does it add an effect?

You are an awesome reviewer, thank you!
Watercolors are fun and fairly cheap, it is a great way to break into painting if you have not already done so.
Do you see the speckled effect in the tree root and rocks? That is caused by salt absorbing some of the water and pigment from a damp spot on the paper. This adds a nice visual texture to a piece that might otherwise be more uniform than you'd like.Β
