Because if there ever was one picture I wanted to try my hand at coloring digitally, it was this one.
Oh, the woes it took me to make this dream come true. One frozen PC, two busted mouses, one power outbreak from thunderstorm hail, four sleepless nights, half a dozen youtube vids on how to use GIMP for (idiot) digital rookies, countless hours of struggle with my drawing tools, five headaches, one outburst, plus a stick, and this is the result.
I did everything by eye and instinct, from the lines to the shadows to the lightening to the background, and the text. I don't know if I missed a spot to color/shade/brighten somewhere in there, and though I know at least one which needs attention, my inexperience didn't allow me to reach it properly, so I had to leave it be u_u
So, as possibly perfect and quite certainly flawed as it may be... I hope you've enjoyed the picture, and don't hesitate to drop a comment if you like it ^^
Back to the drawing board for me!

This looks rather good for your first digital pic :3
Gimp is one heck of a complicated program, I've never liked it because I just couldn't figure out how to use it properly XD if you don't like gimp just like me, I'd recommend firealpaca/medibang paint pro, it's free and easy to use. It's my main drawing program x3
Back to the pic.. I first thought they're somehow swallowing each others tongue and I was like 'whyyyy' but nevermind I know they're just tied together X'D

I was like you when I opened the program for the first time and challenged myself to make a decent picture XD Like I said above, I followed some clips on youtube about it, and improvised from there with the few tricks I learnt along the way. I also experiemented on my own, and kind of combined everything I've learnt into this picture... except for the background. That one is a lost cause, because I suck at making them and there are no clips on youtube that shows how to make good backgrounds in different ways, so I dabbled away ^^;
It's not that I don't like GIMP, but more that I don't have anything else to draw with. It's either that or Paint, and my options are very limited with the second software. The two softwares you suggested above interest me alot though. They look like what I see on the pages of people who stream :) I'll see if I can download one...
Actually, Lily caught Jazz by the tongue to keep him from getting away. She's a bit... voracious at times, and Jazz is edible in every sense of the word for her, so the Greninja is never quite sure whether she wants to eat him metaphorically, figuratively, or literally. And that leaves him understandably nervous whenever she gets into one of those moods.
Thankfully his predator of a mate is a good girl, and she's more likely to mate with him than swallow him down. Had she caught him in the wild though, it would have been another matter XD
