I really dig Ken Sugimori's old Pokemon art from back in the day. The watercolor-y look. I dunno, I just really like it better than what he's doing now.
I tried to copy Sugimori's old style and I think I did a great job at it. I made two new Sai brushes just for the purpose of replicating it, which I'll probably release soon for you guys to grab.
The "holographic" bubbles were from a brush that comes with the Krita program.
I had forgotten about that style! I guess it is simpler and less distracting to make it a single pink - but I think having the "points" makes it look more feral and realistic.
