Throwback Week will start the Monday or Tuesday following the completion of the Kingdra and Starmie pieces, so as soon as you can.
Just a quick note that I'll definitely have it done before this Monday/Tuesday. Since I'm doing this one traditionally I've had a bit of trouble getting the supplies and finding a scanner, but I think I pretty much have everything figured out now.

if you want the background changed i don't mind, it's 1 am so i kinda rushed the end =v=
that is... incredible, thanks so much. I'll schedule this to go up with the Floatzel PotW on June 5th.

Ssensenh Scizor is free, have at it! it's technically Mega Scizor, but we had someone do Mega Scizor six months ago or so, so if you want to do regular Scizor, or an image depicting Scizor and Mega Scizor together, that would be fine.

I'm pretty much done with Starmie, but I just found out that the library will be closed until Tuesday, meaning that I can't get it scanned until then.
Would you be able to start Throwback Week if I guarantee that I will get it to you on Tuesday? I don't want to delay this any longer :<

in retrospect, and after having actually posted it to the page very briefly and seeing a few responses, this is prey to being overtly sexualized, unfortunately. if you want to try and redo the style I'd love to use a less provocative version in the future.

This was the sketch I worked out and was wondering if this could go through a check...just in case. Although unmotivated, I do realize I need to fix the mess I started
I tried to stick, almost completely, to the original design
---
In all seriousness, I sincerely apologize to everyone who was involved in this, from the social media head to the article writer, who dedicated time and effort into their parts just to have me ruin mine ;v; I should have taken into consideration the demographic and worked around this seeing as the swampert image wasn't too well-received either, and I hope to take this experience and be more careful in the future. Another apology to anyone I may have offended with the picture and I would like you to know that I had no prior intentions of the image seeming a bit...racy, I don't draw animals often so I may have taken inspiration from a female figure. Sorry again for the inconvenience, I'll try my best to fix my mistakes :'>

Jackii, I really appreciate what you said (and honestly it's also my fault for not saying anything sooner) and the new art looks fantastic.

Thanks for taking the time to redo it; it'll go up this Sunday. :)
 

Tried out Pastels this time around. Figured I'd post here for comments and/or to bump the thread due to relative inactivity here.

EDIT: Back wing darkened and added a touch of orange plumeage to (hopefully) better delineate between the two.

Its second wing in the background could a much darker tone, if only to make its foremost wing stand out better since at first I had difficulties interpreting the image's components. Its tail feathers could also be positioned lower and more to the right since its body isn't that short, but that isn't as apparent. I can only applaud your choice of method.
 
Hey! It's been a while.

The Facebook giveaways will restart this weekend and I wanted to bump this as a reminder to the people that are already working on art. Also to those looking to contribute we are still in need of Kabutops and Heatran art.

Thanks for all the contributions so far. I'm looking forward to what you guys make this month. :)
