Rain - Mewtwo & Nurse Joy

Oh boy, so this took a lot longer than I had hoped. OTL

As mentioned in my WIP/Sketches post, my boyfriend @H-Falcon and I have been on a Pokémon nostalgia trip as of late. Perhaps more specifically, a Mewtwo/Nurse Joy trip. Many many eons ago he wrote a lemon fanfic ship of these two, and revisiting his story has greatly inspired me to draw out different illustrations with them. This scene in particular was just a random idea I had (probably because of all the rain we got this spring). I wanted to just draw something that felt calm considering everything going on in the world, and see Mewtwo in a scene you might not usually see him in. I've also been particularly interested in seeing Mewtwo, and the Pokemon anime in general, as it appeared back in the early days of the first movie and first few seasons, as that was a huge part of my childhood + favorite visual representation/art style and I miss the way everything used to look. So my goal with this illustration, and several other little projects I've been working on atm, was to try and replicate that as best as I could, plus just making it look like a scene straight out of a movie with just enough context to hopefully pique the viewer as to what is going on here. I really enjoy story telling so those types of illustrations interest me the most. Interestingly enough, Falcon enjoyed the concept of this scene so much, he wrote out a new scene based on this illustration to continue his story, and has been messing with it on and off as inspiration strikes him. I keep nudging him to work on it again as he left it in limbo all those years ago due to real life circumstances, so we'll have to see where that goes. n_n And btw for clarification, this is intended to take place involving the first movie Mewtwo and the same Nurse Joy about a year or so after the events from the movie. And yes I intend to share some more... intimate moments with these two. I'll also be posting some close ups since poor Butterfree is barely visible on that thar teapot.

Here I am, back on my perspective nonsense, loving to torture myself. 🙃
