Princess VS Princess

A belated tribute to Rachael Lillis.

I've seen a couple other people redrawing this exact same scene in tribute, but I just had to try my own hand. "Princess VS Princess" was one of my absolute favorite episodes from the original series (along with "The Misty Mermaid") and I've actually had this one under my hat for some time: Rachael Lillis was suppose to have come to a local Con a while back (2016? 2018?) but ended up backing out at the last minute and never rescheduled. Had she come, I'd have saved drawing it for then and had her sign it, but it looks like now I'll never get the chance.

As for the sketch, you can see that I had to do some significant polishing, but I suppose that's the difference when your reference is from a cartoon that was still being hand drawn at the time? I used other works to clean up the facial features and general shape of the heads/jawlines. The top of Jessie's crown had to be traced in due to cropping, but beyond that, no major changes or fixes. (also: first time drawing Jessie)

Pokemon and all of its creatures/characters, including Misty/Kasumi and Jessie/Musashi belong to Satoshi Tajiri, Nintendo, Game Freak, ViZ and any/all other respective owners. I do not own the characters in any way, shape or form, I am just a fan!
