CM from :icongo-10: of Rosa and Hilda once again, except this time they're at the pool! \o/

I'm always hyped for doing pokemon pieces, and this one was no exception.

Poor Rosa is being pranked by Hilda, but it's all in good fun. :^)

There's actually something here I hadn't tackled before, which is floating water. I've done large bodies of water like seas and pools, wet surfaces, drops of sweat, but all of those are water over some object, and the shading techniques for those don't work very well when the water is airborne, so I had to study and try out new methods.
In the end my first attempt here was decent. Not perfect- the attack ended up looking more like a flurry of bubbles, as if he's doing a bubblebeam, and not quite the watergun I envisioned. I'll surely do better next time. :3

And there's another new technique I made up too: the translucence and light distortion of the water in submerged parts of the characters. I'm pretty satisfied with how nicely that idea turned out!
