Hey Yilx, these look awesome! Although I do have some critizism that I hope can help you.

I've noticed this in previous smog articles, and that's trying to make these "shadow" pokemon recognizable. For example, I was a little confused at the start with Sharpedo and Electrode. I thought that Electrode was gengar because of the colours and teeth and I had some trouble figuring out what Sharpedo was. I remember having a hard time figuring out some of the sillhouettes in the weather article pic that you did, so just thought that I might point that out for future references. Maybe it's just the colour scheme that's got me confused.....

But yeah, that's the only critizism that I can think of. Other than that, you did another fantastic job!

Hey Yilx, could you do a Haunted Pokemon House filled with Haunters, Chandelures, etc?
That would be really great thanks!
Pleease.

On a different note, your art is probably the best Smogon has to offer. I salute you.

The steel type and the flying/fighting type are neat.

How many layers did you use on Amorpha, that artwork looks so FULL OF WIN AND EPICNESS. D: Unbelievable.

Yilx what I love most about your art at the moment is that you are (very successfully) breaking away from the "yilx style" you had of black background etc. The backgrounds you've been usin recently are just lovely and really help to like add onto and complement the piece instead of just being there like the old ones. And your shading is just to die for, it's so smooth and rich :)

No way... I'm no where anywhere near that level yet.
Look up aragornbird/rocket grunt/etc if you want to see a true pro

Is it just me, or does Sawk looks like a DC/Marvel hero? Incredible shading!
About yomu, the socks seemed to be of different height - it looks as if it reaches higher on her right leg. Could be the skirt imparting an illusion, but I dunno... :I

Looks good yilx. Nice touch with the red lighting. My only criticism is that the shadows aren't in the same direction as sawk's attention which makes his pose's angle look a bit weird.

It feels pretty smooth but yet metallic like it's a blue iron man >.> haha

Such lineart isn't what you normally do right ?_? IDK it feels like somewhat a mix of Zracknel and you >.> haha the shading on the right leg seems somewhat awkward :d

You just can't stay away from your jagged shadows can you x)

I used to do it like this, way back in 2010. Then I started black-backgrounding...
