WOW it has been a WHILE since I did one of these, huh? Apologies for the sketchy art, my tablet driver likes to be dumb and won't start a line until a half second after I start drawing it, making it impossible to draw a clean line. I think it still turned out pretty okay.

Really this is one I've wanted to draw since...well...2001? The MOMENT I saw the Crystal trainer, I loved her design because it looked like "what if the gold/silver guy was born a girl instead" (that and ridiculous hips). So I always wanted to doodle this but never had the ability to pull it off decently and...well...I pretty much hadn't drawn a TG in YEARS.

Then, I stumbled across this sequence in a random Google Image Search:

It was awesome and reminded me that even though my art isn't that great, a sequence can be compelling with poses and expressions, something my own art has been lacking. So it inspired me to try drawing one again...but the best part? I went to follow the guy who drew this and found out that he was already following ME!

So you know what? This sequence goes out to you, Klonoahedgehog!

The funny part is I tried STARTING this sequence and chickening out like 5 times! I kept drawing Crystal and being like "Eh...this takes too long..." and then eventually I just was like "Okay maybe I can do it like this and it'll be faster" and then I spent ALL DAY drawing this because I kept getting carried away. No joke. Woke up, started drawing, by the time I finally passed out I was ALMOST done. This easily took me 15 hours, believe it or not.

But...I did it! ENJOY!
