So an internet buddy wrote a spectacular peice of Pokemon fanfiction and it gave my old Pika-fangirl a little jolt. I remember wishing that Ash had been a little more like Richie*shrugs at spelling differences*...even though Richie is pretty much Ash's clone. Richie was just gentler and more mild-mannered I suppose and that appealed to me more than Ash's sometimes spastic attitude.
So TA-DA! Richie and Sparky fanart...I have given up on drawing Pokemon style and just made my style a little stockier and I haven't drawn a Pokemon since about the third grade and it is painfully apparent with little Sparky*sigh*.
By the way, I nixed the hat because I do not care for it. Richie's whole outfit looks like a one-hanger outfit you would buy for a 5-year-old and the hat only strengthens my opinion. He also has no shoes...*shrugs*
