Thought it worth repeating – so many excellent designs!

From the Day Journal of Researcher Angell:
Day 6
It just stood there staring at the sun. I just stood there staring at it — frozen in place. I think it was smiling. I never expected to see something like that in my search for Latias. If you're reading this, Researcher...
Humor in CAP - too much, too little, just right?
CAP5 has inspired some really great artistic designs already, and some use a healthy dose of humor – I'd like to just put a question out to the powers that be of CAP, how does humor effect the choices you make? Personally, I love a good pun and...
After seeing the spread discussion, I believe I'm going to go with my more hulking version of the orchid, if that's okay. He's now out of his show/hide code in my earlier post.
I also have a couple of supporting pieces - incredibly rough as they are – just to show how I thought certain moves...
Harle – I really appreciated the feedback, and actually was pondering a de-robed version too. I'm just a bit slow at getting things digitized… but here's what I had thought of at that point:
Quanyalis – Thanks!
Cartoons! – Statler/Waldorf & sour fruit is an amazing rendition of dark/grass...
I had a couple of people mention they preferred my cthulu concept – so here's a more polished version.
And a bit more on concept…
My thought process went: demon seed>demon vine that strangles things> mysterious demon vine that strangles things> mysterious voodoo priest vine that...
I had two ideas that I wanted to get out of my head and onto paper - only had some colored pencils with me at the time, but they show the ideas, at least. Either one merit my taking the next steps in polishing them?
First one: Thought of this CAP as a "dark horse," playing to underused types...
If mine is illegal, I'm very sorry (is it legal to edit a final submission?)
I was under the impression that a black line outline wasn't necessary around everything, just a hard line/edge - no fades of smoke into the background and such. It should be able to have a solid silhouette. (was...

Here's some extras:
The umbrella creature from a Magikarp's view
A few sketches of the umbrella creature in the sun (a bad thing) and attacking
And the umbrella creature just relaxing
Thanks all for the great feedback! Found out if the umbrella goes orange it becomes...
Woah - didn't expect such a nice response. Pumpkin orange - not a good idea. Can do. I'm quite flexible. If there are any other any suggestions, please don't hold back.
I have a couple of minor supporting pieces if that's okay... but none of them are in color, because my previous color...
Goodness – I didn't mean to cause such a stir, sorry all. This will be my last concept, then I will return to the shadows and watch the masters continue on.
This was an idea I had before the decaying tree and is of the wet skin variety, which sounds like it goes better with the ability...
Ah hah. That was what I had in mind with my marsh bird - though I do see how it was a stretch. I went back through the topic and guess I got confused looking at all the other works. My tree-thing was supposed to straddle the idea of dry skin (literal) and dry skin (ability), but it looks like I...
I didn't focus on the dry skin enough in my last post, so taking tea_and_blues' suggestion to drop it and try something that fits dry skin more organically.
My thought was of a burnt out forest and the creatures that would survive. Fire types that could survive the intense heat, with toxic...
I've been lurking for ages now - but this thread finally got me to come out of the shadows. I had an idea to add. It's nothing in comparison with the ideas already posted, but I thought I'd give it a go.
