well I don't think I'll be making a final submission this time around, but I'll be happy with whoever wins!
Aww, taicho, at least put the original scratchy picture up with the title 'Final Submission.' That's all you need!
Yeah I was also wondering if you could still submit supporting art even though you already entered.

Using Rapid Spin and Taunt
What people have said about it?
Armadillos are desertic animals that go out only at night, to avoid hight tempetures. So, it's nocturnal (Dark) and it's desertic (Ground). - Caladbolg~
The Armadillo fits the "stopping the secondary" [...] Rapid Spin and Taunt are both completely natural choices for your design. I disagree with others when they say you should change the colour scheme, because the Dark typing is clearly represented in the nature of the Pokemon itself. - scampy
The armadillo's plating looks cool and has a nice organic feel to it. It can be tough at times to strike that balance, when designing armor, between a robotic or more natural look, but I think you nailed it pretty well.- Cartoons!
The design improved steadily over the course of this thread and its neat that you gave it a personality. Like all calad's designs this thing could pass as a real pokemon haha. Calad for gen 5 official artist yo. -Buffalo Wings
It covers the typing perfectly, with color & style choice, is brilliantly drawn - Maci12
[...]not only does it look good, but it also looks like it could make use of rapid spin, somethin that could be good for something that stops the secondary. - ChuckMyNorris

I agree, that Armadillo is not getting any better. It's going to be hard to choose which artwork will get my vote, but that's definitely one of my favourites.
I am torn between Atyroki's Thorny Devil and Aragonbird's Dust Devil. I think both are just phenomenal contributions and I'd be happy to see either as our CAP9.
The Armadillo is still my favorite =) If I may be so bold, I would like quote myself in saying:
==========
MysteriousFellow: That final submission pose is sick. Your design has also consistently among my top 3 favorites. Your supporting art is also brilliant. Haha wow I wish I could draw like that =P.
Also, this is by far your best pose of it, and I'm liking it better without the spikes. Great job Caladbolg, you got my vote!

Final Submission:
Yes, due to me sucking at getting other designs done on time, and because this design is pretty awesome, The THORNY DEVIL will be my final submission.
Unfortunately I have no supporting material either, though I hope my designs badassery will be enough to win you over itself.

Final Submission:
Since no one really found anything wrong with my design, I opted to not change anything about him. I did decide to go with this color over the other thanks to your (that would be you guys) insight. Since I'm in a kind of lazy mood right now, I'll just copy down what I said about it in my last post.
Supporting Artwork:
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y127/ChetRippo/worldturtlepokemon001.png
So basically my design is based of the Ur-turtle, or more comonly called, the World Turtle. With his head hiding in his shell with his glaring eyes sybolizing DARK type, almost sinister, while having his shell decorated like a globe to sybolizing, obviously the Earth, or better yet, his GROUND type.
I placed Lunatone next to him because my idea was that my Pokemon has a sort of relationship with it much like Mantine and Remoraid do. As in like you would need Lunatone and my pokemon's "pre-evolved form" to evolve into what you see up there (And perhaps there would be a different evolved form if it were Solrock). Lunatone would revolve around him, like the moon does to earth.
Any criticism or random comments would be gladly apreciated.

I think the Lunatone is necessary though; Mantine's official art, sprites etc all incude remoraid for exaomple.
I'm just curious, is this creature supposed to actually have a head? Because if not I can't see it using moves like crunch (which it will almost certainly get).
Boy, I like saying: On another note huh?
On another note, I'm currently working on my own art design, so I'll have some loose sketches posted here by Saturday.
This is by far the most bad @$$ Anubis based design any body drew! You may want to take off that fur/feather on his tail, but other than that, I can't say a bad thing about this Pocket Monster!
I did up my previous Anubismon design due to feedback and the type of stat spreads being submitted. C&C, anyone?

While creating my buffalo design, I saved off "progress pictures" as I inked, colored, shaded, and edited the design. I put all the progress pics in an animated gif and showed it on #cap yesterday. Several people thought it was interesting to see how the design took shape. So, I'm considering adding this as supporting material for my design. Since the animation file is kinda big (625k), I'm linking it to the design picture below.
Click this link or click the picture to see the animation.

Seconded.
Since Cyzir seems to be going with Narwhal rather than Anteater, your Dust Devil* is my favourite concept.
* Did it have a working title? I didn't feel like searching the whole thread.
