OK, I googled Shoopuf and found this:
My design:
They have similar coloring(purple, brown)
Maybe I can change the colors a bit, what do you think???
Ah. Sorry if I caught you off guard with my statement. I didn't mean it detrimentally at all. It just reminded me of the Shoopufs, and thus the quote. Perhaps I'm the only one that saw the similarities, having played the game many times.OK, I googled Shoopuf and found this:

As for you art submission itself, the only thing I would suggest would be to alter the legs a bit. They seem too gangly to me. Almost like he will fall over at any moment. Assuming Klutz would be the ability, that would work well. I doubt that will be the case, however. Also, the head seems almost too heavy. Like the neck can no longer support it, thus why it bends.

The big head and slim neck are part of the design, I like the somewhat depressed pose it have(sad=dark XD)
Maybe I can change the legs a bit, but I want it to have big feet on thin legs
EDIT:
I suck at shading :S
It's OK :)

It' back legs do, I'll fix it if it looks too weird

GreenMamba's, Kai7735's, Cyzirvisheen's, and Doug's designs are quite impressive.
REALLY nice design. I'd stay away from the sepia, and go with a darker version of the more colorful shell. I'd also reccommend that you not use real continents as models, as technically, the Pokemon world is not our own.
InHell13, your design seems like something out of Spore. Not a criticism, just an observation.
So i'm thinking this is getting pretty close to final submission, might add in some addition material, but the design has seen it's fair share of changes.
pkmn-taicho, I prefer the scratchy-sandy look you had before.
I like the design additions (ribs+tail), but don't enjoy the new colors.

You got me :P
My design is based on xZuunasaur's creation, Erickolio
Sorry if it is almost the same
I have to concur with darkchicken here. I much preferred the windswept, sandy color of the original one. While I like the bones, also, I don't particularly like the tail all that much.

I like the first one the best, maybe you can try the second color scheme on the first design
Okay so I guess the colors didn't go over well.
Frilled Lizard Creature Thingy
...I think I relatively lost the concept I was thinking in this.
That, and the feet and tail are horrendous.
And it doesn't even look that ground or dark-y (though I suppose a bit of color can fix that), but ehhh...
Hell, it almost looks like a dragon.
If I wasn't so terrible and slooowww at drawing, I'd probably start over. Though I suppose I'll run with it.
C+C please?
Taicho, the dots aren't doing it for me either. :/ Sorry.
I honestly prefer the rougher sketches to your current colors.

Final Submission
Okay...since it has 1 in favor and none against, Checkmate it is...
FINAL SUBMISSION:
Checkmate, the Chessmaster Pokemon. Checkmate is an extremely intelligent Pokemon. It is not only intelligent enough to outwit an Alakazam or Metagross, but it also has the telekinetic power to deftly manipulate any of its miniature clay pawns as it desires. It can psychically manipulate the ground beneath it with its baseplate, creating powerful yet local earthquakes. They often play strategy games with others of their kind, as no human or computer opponent has ever stood up to it yet. It may even be capable of manipulating its foes into using their own secondary effects against them.
Secondary Stuff (Man do I have a lot of secondary art...):
And a humorous "warstory" showcasing each of the secondary art pieces: http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2254733&postcount=486
Note that Checkmate is my artwork's working title. Not trying to jump polls or anything, though if this wins I will still probably submit Checkmate (or some homonym thereof) as a name then.
Please support,

I'd have to say colours aren't mah strong point.
I have to say, I loved the sandy color of your first picture. Give it the same swept up appearance, and make the red more prominent (Not just a few slashes here and there), and I would say I'd love it.
I might love you for this.

@PkmnTaicho - I liked the messier coloring without the bones a lot better, I thought it looked really awesome and covered everything brilliantly. It also, in some ways, reminded me of this Final Fantasy Esper that I always thought was pretty awesome.
@AragornBird - Not a huge fan of the color version, I liked the pose & everything much better in the shaded version. Maybe go back to some of the original parts of your piece? Of course, it's 1000000x better than I could do =P.
Colored it. Hope it looks kinda better. Though it's still pretty plain, I guess. Any ideas, anyone...?
C+C is very appreciated. Heck, even just pure crit. Bash it to your hearts content if you want to, really.
I'm not unconditionally loving it myself so a straight honest answer just detailing what sucks about it is also appreciated.
... Ugh, I hate those legs.
Thicken the legs, wide thighs, then calves that angle into small hands. Try pulling a Toxicroak on the fingers, making 1-2 of them claws.
EDIT: Also, he could use a forked tongue, and tan, sand-like thighs. Maybe some fangs would be nice.
