Heres a really rough sketch of my idea
Only a 5min rough sketch, ill gimp it up and add colour later

alright, thanks for the feedback@Swaggersaurus: Sorry, but your design looks a lot like Lucario. I think it has potential, but if cpkmax1108's rooster supposedly looked like Blaziken (which I disagree with), then I think this one definitely looks like Lucario.
I'd REALLY like some comments on mine, because I feel its missing some Fighting type-ness:) Any suggestions are great
At the moment it just looks like Rock/Dark...
Well, the main things that remind of Lucario are the legs and cream colored middle area. Just looking at pictures side by side, I looks like you ripped them off, which I am sure was unintentional. My suggestion would be to change the cream color to something else, and perhaps try to make it a little more dark looking. As for the legs I'm not too sure what to change, but the way it looks like your guy is wearing shorts makes it look very similar to Lucario.alright, thanks for the feedback
could you be a little more specific? when designing a human-shape dog pokemon, i knew that this would be a risk. i looked at mewtwo, lucario and zoroark, which of all have quite a similar look to them, especially the latter two, and though i knew that's the road i would have to go down "pokemon shape" wise, i don't want to just be regurgiating their design
do you have any suggestions about veering away from that look? something more ninja-esque around the legs/waist perhaps to give it a unique feel?
thanks!
i think to say the design looks "ripped off" is a pretty unfair critique. i've had a lot of positive feedback on the colour scheme and i hardly think cream fur is a an attribute people primarily associate with lucarioWell, the main things that remind of Lucario are the legs and cream colored middle area.

Were thinking more of the Purple, brown or Black as the solid color. Also can you be more specific with the tribal makeup?@Zakki- I saw the color schemes you made before too. None of them scremed "This is the one" perhaps make the monkey one specific color and add some tribal makeup?
I think this probably stems from my decision to think a bit more out-of-the-box for this design compared to most. When I sat down to brainstorm design ideas for a Fighting/Dark type I decided that it would be very easy and unoriginal to just come up with a bipedal human-shaped Pokemon to fit the bill, so I resolved to come up with something a bit more creative (this isn't meant as any disrespect toward anyone's human-shaped designs, there are a lot of really good ones!).I like the design itself. It maintains a sense of simplicity that pokemon designs should have. The problem I have with it though is that I am having a hard time finding the typing. I'm sure that the dark typing will come along with with the colors, but I really feel that you should make your design more fighting-ish.
