Mars' New Partner

It's been really long since I last drew something. I got busy with College, and other things were blocking the inner artist. However, after forcing myself and getting rid of the blockade, I'm back at full!!

This pic was partly a dare at SPPf's Shippers' Truth or Dare Thread, and also inspired by Seijiro. Basically, the dare was to draw any Team Galactic member with any of the Partners (The Trainers that join you for a short while at some points in the game) on Diamond/Pearl. Knowing me, there was no other choice for the Galactic member but the ever so hot, awesome and wonderful Mars ~ The Partner choice was slightly trickier, though. Buck was out by default due to his overall meh-ness. Riley was a solid choice, but you know I'm much more into Yuri, which left me with the female triad.

Now, I like all three about the same. Still, Seijiro influenced me to turn Marley into my final choice, with all his ideas regarding her and Mars. Well, it's all good with me, so I went on with it. We have a rather nice-looking Mars pulling a surprised Marley to her, and embracing her rather possessively. It shows I've been out of the loop for a while, but the pose and the expressions are lovely as far as I stand. Marley looks so cute and surprised, while Mars smiles in joy for her new partner, who'll be subjected to all sorts of nice things.
