Turn your tears to roses

_{No! You'll never be alone!
When darkness comes I'll light the night with stars
Hear the Whispers in the Dark
No! You'll never be alone!
When darkness comes you know I'm never far
Hear the Whispers in the Dark

I really like that song. ;w; And the lyrics go really well with the whole Darkrai thing imo. So this picture has been a long time coming! (The first time I tried I kinda gave up l-lol)

I tried to incorporate as many elements from the song as possible. I'm not gonna go pointing them out so see if you can find them all : D

I decided to play around this time and instead of going my normal route for coloring fabric, I wanted to have the dress look satiny. So I used a softer brush for the highlights and to accentuate the shadows, and I think I pulled it off. Not a lot else to say artwise; drawing Pokemon themselves is not my strong point orz. Also hopefully Hikari's tears don't look too derpy

Asdf I'm actually completely happy with how this came out, which is awesome because I feel like I haven't done that in a long time. I finally managed to shut up my inner critic long enough to get this done :'D

_{Yes in my headcanon Hikari and Mitsumi are two different people in the same universe. Shutup. Hikari gets her mons from Diamond while Mitsumi gets hers from Platinum}
