Description
Grrr, my scanner messed this up so bad.
Anyway, at long last, here it is. My deviantID. Overall, I'm pleased with it. I especially love the shading in Leah the Treecko's tail. There were a few issues, though. Human Leah's feet look a bit off because I tried drawing an awkward pose (I'm terrible at drawing feet, anyway), and I'm not sure if I got Treecko Leah's mouth right. I don't know where those black dots on the right came from - they're nowhere to be found on the actual picture.
And to the left of the characters, you can see where I messed up on something and erased it. (I probably just shot myself in the foot saying this. 
) I was going to include some Unown writing, but it ended up looking way too messy, so I scrapped it. And since I have a tendency to draw hard... it left an imprint. But enough of me criticizing my own work. I'm just glad it's done. And, yes, the background is her aura - brilliant green. I just hope the color doesn't look as off on your computer as it does on my laptop - it looked great on my parents' computer when I scanned it.
Oh, and in case you're curious, the medium is Roseart colored pencils.
I've talked enough. Enjoy, and feel free to comment and critique away.

EDIT: I had to crop the background, since the full-sized image was cut off on my profile.
EDIT 2.0: I shrank it a bit again, since it was still a little too big for my liking.

Wow! You're developing your own style already. I knew this was yours without reading.
What I love most is how all the colours contrast, it grabbed my attention quickly. Also, how you sized the characters accordingly, it is most effective! It'll look fantastic on your webpage!

Hehe, this is great! 
And yep, the background looks fine in my opinion, or on this computer, at least

Aww, thanks! And I'm glad you think so!
Cool!

I love the colouring you did! I always mess up when drawing with pencil crayon. That's why I do all my colouring on the computer.
Very nice ID pick. I have yet to get around to making mine... So many ideas and so little time to draw them. I wish I was a faster artist...
Anyway, a little on the critical side here. Hair on Leah seems a bit poofy. Dunno if it was supposed to be that way but I just thought I'd mention it. Treecko Leah seems a bit scrawny too. Other than that it's great though!

Thanks for the comments and your critique - I really appreciate them! 
Good luck working on your own ID and other pictures. I understand what you mean - it took me a while to get this done, too. But you'll get it all finished eventually, so don't give up.

Thank you. I'll probably have to wait till the end of exams to do that. I have quite a list of stuff I want to do by then. I want to make a picture for my fic so I can start posting my fic here. I want to make my Deviant ID. I essentially have a big list of other things I want to do. I also want to get back to working on my fanfics. That's right, I'm working on 2. One I am in the process of posting and the other is a colab with a friend that is still in production. @_@
Some people say they have artists block. Well it's the opposite for me. I have artists overload... D=

Oh, wow, that is a lot. O_o It's good to know that I'm not the only one with a bunch of different projects on my plate - and yes, artist's overload can be quite deadly. I'm becoming overwhelmed by everything I want to do, and the constant influx of Deviations in my inbox doesn't help matters, either.

Yep... I think I'll need to make a list of my ideas so I don't forget...

That's probably a good idea.

It's looks really good! I love the fact they have matching poses, adds to the epicness of it! Your Treecko is really good, and so'd=s Human Leah, can't wait for chapter 3!

Ah, this is indeed quite a nice piece! It turned out very nicely~ 8D
And the background does seem a lot more like yellow than green. The work of the scanner, I take it? owo;

Lol, it has been a while since you updated it. But I can understand - I still haven't even started Chapter 3 of TMRC yet.

I know, it takes me a while. x3
That's okay! xD

XD it's a pretty good ID.
Yeah... scanners can be annoying sometimes.
I have a tip: preview the image a few times on the scanner and play with the brightness and colour settings a little. It's time-consuming but it works. (:

I knew there was something I forgot to mention in my artist's comments! 
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
There it is
I never got green for my aura, only red and blue 
You're really great with coloring, and the shadows and the light are so good
I think it was a good decision to make the background with Leahs aura couse that make the whole pic, erm, how could I say this? Maybe like this: This way the whole pic comes from the story and is important, not only the figures. If you had made the background with something random then only Leah would be important and the background would just be 'something that is also in the picture' but so everything is important!
I hope this makes sense, and only for the protocol: I couldn't even explain this in german, this is one of the things that are clearly in my head but which I could never explain to another person.
And a stupid question (again):
She is a human who lives in the paralyzed future world of PMD, she lives hide in a cave with a nido famaly who found her when she was a baby. So, where the hell did she get normal humen clothes? And a hair band?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aw, thanks! And don't worry - I understood what you meant.
The reason you're only getting two colors is because the game chooses your aura based on the color you chose for your DS's background on the start-up screen, if that makes sense. It picks from the closest matching color and it's inverted color. I chose pink, so 75% of the time, I wind up with an uplifting pink, and 25% of the time I get brilliant green (the inverted color.)
That's not a stupid question at all - I had a feeling someone would ask eventually, and I've been trying to come up with a plausible reason for a while now. I would think, though, that either the Nidos had found some clothes somewhere and made a storage for when Leah grew, or someone who has been helping their family found them. Probably the latter. It's still a detail I'm trying to fine-tune, though.

Oh I never heard that that it choose from the background color but that makes sense, thanks *
Ah I see, you really make a plausible reason for everything, don't you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep! *gives you another
Lol, yeah, I guess.

Yeah, I also love feedback especially positive one
Often I just read "Wow this is great, hope you'll post the next chapter soon" and this is all. Many people are really not able to articulate what they like about my storys and what I could change, it's annoying
I personally think about myself as a good critic, I always go into detail what I like and what could be changed but people who just say "keep it up" make me like this:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hahaha, yeah, I understand.
But I think you do a great job critiquing, too - for all of the reasons you mentioned. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah this also makes me worrying a lot. I'm always afraid of insult people by saying something wrong. If you face the person you're talk to you can read his thoughts in his face (I'm really good at this 
Glad to hear that, I always take my time and analyze exactly when I write a comment, not only at your stuff, at anyone alse, too
I could ask who this other person is just because I'm naturally curious but I guess you'll hide his identity
