Description Quick pic of Orie the Ralts and Rubik the Spiritomb, from  's PMDU team, Team Phantom Pains . Been wanting to try my hand at doodling these two for a while, as they're such a cool concept for a team, and have a lovely dynamic between the two members...and I wanted to try my hand at drawing a glowy, transparent Spiritomb.

Orie and Rubik are the property of , and well worth checking out.

I can't express in words how unbelievably excited I was to see this in my messages. This is absolutely breathtaking! You captured their contrasting personalities flawlessly and honestly the amount of effort put into this is outstanding ;; Traditional works aren't my line of expertise, but I do know that creating a gradient background and executing the effect you created for Rubik's glow requires so much more time on paper. It looks incredible and the atmosphere you've created with the dark background and Rubik looming over Orie is such a nice touch.
I'm honored that you decided to draw these two, and that you've taken a liking to them in general!
This is such a beautiful piece, thank you so much!

I was actually planning on making some comic strips from scenes of our RP in the future, as soon as I crawl out of my art block, if that would be alright with you. It's such an interesting story so far and I can't wait to see where it goes! Sorry for the late response on that, by the way, some personal issues that come up within the last few days and I'm struggling to find free time.

Aw, I'm glad you like it, and feel I've done these two justice, especially given how lovely and smooth the digital art on their original application is, with the soft colour palette and halftone shading. It did take a few tries to get Rubik's expression right, I'll confess: I kept messing up the grin and giving him a face that said "I am going to eat this child. He will be delicious." But I had a great time drawing them, and it's always easier to come up with poses and expressions for teams with a lot of personality behind them.

I'd love to see our RP scenes as comic strips! I'm always happy for you to draw up scenes from our RP. Would you be happy for me to do the same? 

And don't worry: take your time. If things are stressful your end, I'd hate to add on the stress of worrying about an RP schedule too. Whilst I'm having a great time, and eagerly look forward to seeing where this goes, it's well worth waiting for. And I'm not always the speediest responder myself, as I work shifts: sometimes I get a big chunk of time off, sometimes I get hit with a 24 hour block where I'm pretty much working, sleeping or commuting. It all balances in the end, but it can make my replies a bit erratic.

Loving your pictures as always. I do a lot of semi transparent with my two teams as well (Zoe from Team Mischievs and Twigs from Team Ghoststory). I find, that it helps making them more transparent towards the middle. So in this case, if you let some of that blue from the background sift through Rubic, he should appear more transparent. :3

Oh, that's a really good tip. Thanks, and I'll give that a go in the future, letting some of the background show through.

Heh, it was fun to draw such a weird, cool Pokémon. And Spiritombs are already my favourite eye-burning mix of colours anyway.

Aw, thank you. But obviously, I can't take credit for the characters here.
