Description
I have seen this place. I have been here before. Was it in my dreams? But this is no dream. I feel new life rising within me. Mew? If these waters have the same restoring effect on me as they do on other PokΓ©mon... PokΓ©mon who belong to this world... could it be... that this world is my rightful place, too?I drew this a few years earlier as a possible Splash Page image for my Mewtwo fansite Copy Cat , but then decided against it because the image is very long. However, I still wanted to color it.
Media: Pencil Sketch, Corel Painter, Tablet
Begun: Sometime 2007?
Completed: March 16, 2009
Critique is always greatly appreciated!

WOW! I haven't been to your site for a while, but it's clear your skills haven't diminished. This is GREAT! I just rewatched the movie a few days ago and it's still pretty cool...(sigh)

Haha, thanks. The movie is pretty cool. A little heavy-handed with the Captain Planet stuff, but it's Mewtwo so I forgive him.

You run Copy Cat? Sweet. I've been going there for years; I just never submitted anything 
Anyway, onto the fanart:
I like this piece because it's very significant. You got the message across well by combining the visuals of Clarity Lake with that of when he was in a stasis tube. Simply put, it's effective and any Mewtwo fan would easily pick up on the meaning

Yes I do! I'm glad you like the site; I'm sorry I don't get to update as much as I would like.
It is good to hear my intent with this piece comes across well!

I think I'm pretty much required to at least leave a comment, eh? I like your backlighting, too. ^^ Digital painting -- in a painterly way, at least-- is pretty darn difficult.

Naw, you don't ever need to feel obligated to comment. But I do appreciate it when you do!
I used Painter for this. It's like using oil paints for realz. You can smoodge around the colors and mix them on the canvas. You should try it if you have the opportunity.
I saw the piece you posted on your blog, and it does look painted, particularly on the face. I've actually never tried to be painterly in Photoshop... I'm really not quite sure how to go about doing so... I guess custom brushes and opacity settings and a lot of layers???

Wow, that looks amazing! The coloring effects really made an impact on this scene.
This would've made a great splash image.

This is really pretty - I love the light effect overhead.

Thanks!
I actually meant the light to be more "imaginary" in origin and from behind, as Mewtwo sinks head-first downward. It twisted my brain a bit, but I can see how it can be interpreted as coming from above, as if we are looking up from the lake-floor at Mewtwo, especially since it makes more sense for the light to come from the sun rather some imaginary source. In this case it is not too big of a difference, but I guess in the future I should be a bit more careful with imaginary lights and how they will be logically interpreted...
