123ericn I don't specifically like it, but I don't specifically dislike it either. It doesn't stick out to me I guess? My recommendations are to smooth out its shading- it's a bit rough as is- and maybe add something of a new colour to make it pop, or think of an idea that will help it stick out from the crowd. As it is, the concept has been attempted before and it doesn't have much to show different.
akela I do like the idea- and the colour scheme, I'm always a fan of alternative colour schemes- but the legs look identical to each other and therefore make it look a little stiff and confusing. Some kind of pose that lets the legs be dynamic might help with that. Additionally, maybe you could make holes or markings where the legs meet the body- maybe it's just me, but I think that would help make it clearer the distinction between body and leg, and possibly make the whole thing look a little more refined.
aragornbird I've been a bit of a fan for this one since I saw its first idea. The concept, to me, is excellent, and it's drawn pretty well too. As it is now, it's very good- main thing is to smooth the shading just a little and refine the wings a tad. Speaking of the wings, leave it to levitate, I think it works better floating than on the ground and it doesn't make it look Flying type at all to me- many Bug-types levitate.
Asylum_Rhapsody Psycholobug, I think, will be a solid entry once it's completed. It's true that many people prefer 'badass' CAPs, but I like how yours looks and understand the merits of leaving it to look like a frail creature. Psychic types are very often frail, and Bugs aren't known for their defensive capabilities either. I think it does illustrate the risk of using the CAP well. I think I prefer the body of your work sketch and the wings of your original sketch. I might have to see that to be sure, but I think it would work pretty well. You seem to have issues with those wings though, and I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for so I'm not sure I can help.
Base Speed I don't see the Psychic so much. The limbs are unattached, but to me it's going to take something to make it look more like a Psychic type. It needs to stand out a little more, have something that stands out about it. Maybe make the "third eye" (by which I mean the spot on his forehead) to look like an eye, or something of that ilk? I'm not really sure what to suggest, just show the Psychic more.
Birkal Personally I prefer the newer two to your original submission, especially the 8-ball bug, since to me the hat design looks.. Kind of odd, like, offbeat for a Pokemon. I guess that's because the body segments aren't attached so it looks as though the hat is literally the insect. Might be what you were going for, but kind of odd to me. The 8-ball bug more easily looks like it could be a Pokemon, and I like the two concepts used for it (fly, I think, based on proboscis, and 8-ball). Shade it and see how it goes.
BlueConcept I really do like the concept here, so keep working with it. As someone else mentioned, make sure the glove is emphasized and tweak with colours so it looks Psychic- and not Dark-type. Also, mess around with antennae. It isn't necessary and may not help, but it's something you can try for tweaks, when refining your design.
Calad As others have mentioned, I prefer the non-bearded version. It looks evolved enough to me, and just seems to click better.
CBMeadow Continue, continue, you're flawless :D
(Not really, of course, I see many things wrong in mine)
Cartoons! I dunno if I like this one actually. I'm not sure WHY I don't, but it doesn't quite give the Psychic vibe- I can see it, but it isn't cleanly obvious at first sight. Artistically, there's something off about it- maybe it's the split-ness of the heads, I really and honestly don't know. However, I have bias against cutesy designs regardless, so it could easily be me.
Cheeseball504 I think the main reason this doesn't stand out in my eyes is due to the blockiness. I have no problems with its concept or any of its parts, it's just how it's drawn. I hope that makes sense.
Chomz I rather like this, especially the head, things on the head, and the neck. It somehow looks the perfect blend of Bug and Psychic to me. Definitely work on this, I would like to see it finished.
CyzirVisheen I prefer your wormhole worm, and honestly don't have much in the way of critique to say as of now. I think you might be able to get away with a black and pink-or-purple colour scheme, if you accentuate the bugginess of it. I think black works the best for it overall, but only if you can do that without making it look Dark-type. It's really cool; I'd like to see it finished!
DarkLatias92 The main thing with this one is that it looks more Flying than Psychic. Colour scheme may fix that, though. Looking at the wings, you could make them have eye patterns kind of like Masquerain, or you could keep them as they are and colour the current 'segments' with an eyelike colour pattern, if that makes sense. Like, maybe a dark purple for the "pupil" bit near the origin of the wing, and then a lighter purple for the "iris" outside it? Something like that. It would make the flapping helicopter wings pretty cool.
Demist I like the concept and how you've pieced it together- to me, it looks large, imposing, and threatening, kind of like a god standing over everyone which I think ties in well with the totem pole. I think with colours it will look pretty good. I see it as being rather bright and colourful due to the totem motif, but try what you see fit.
Doran Dragon I like it- the gold pieces contrast with the pinks and pinkish-reds to help bring it out. Toy around with adding blues, even in slight amounts, somewhere, since it might bring it out more by providing more contrast and a RBY-based colour scheme. Not necessary, and may not help, but just something you could try out.
DougJustDoug I think the Psychic typing is a little unclear on this one too. Books are associated with intelligence but I feel like it isn't standing out as one. I'll have to see the refined, coloured version to make a true verdict, but that's how I see it now. It is, however, remarkably cute and affable looking.
DugoutCanoe I like this one as well, and I'd like to see it shaded in. It's a solid entry. I think I especially like how- what's the word? Geometric, I suppose?- it is. It's very focused on cleanly recognizable shapes. The colour scheme is your general pink/purple, but its composition is appealing to the eye. Make alternative schemes if you want for comparison purposes, but I think the pink/purple works better for this than it would for mine, or some of the other entries here.
Empoleon Guru Shading is needed, of course. It's adorably stereotypical and quite amusing to me. Unfortunately I can't really say much else, it speaks for itself.
Furosuto The coloured version bugs me a little, and I think it's just that the colour scheme doesn't 'work' for me. It's hard to explain and I have no idea what colours would work, but the brown and purple just.. Doesn't click with me.
GuyInCorner I like this idea, and would like to see what colours you plan on choosing. It's the first entry I remember that is more Psychic than Bug, but I kind of like how it looks. Maybe make the ribbony things at its back look like the clear wings of a bug? Toy with that and see how it looks.
Heroes and Cons The idea is cool, and I rather like the colour scheme on this one. It's rather Paint-looking though, so you may need to get it smoothed out and more refined in design. Out of curiosity, what are the blue spheres?
itsme I really like this one. The bright, varied colours help create the feeling of "Psychic" to me. Really, I can't say much for way of change. Smooth out your shading a little- there are some choppy parts- and you're pretty much good to go in my eyes.
Juicy Someone else mentioned the two props being a little much- I do have to agree with that, the orb looks superfluous to me. Try removing it, and if you want to keep the 'gem' idea, maybe try putting smaller gems like it down its back or otherwise on its body instead of as a larger orb near its hands. You have the spots but maybe you could tweak with it to make it work. Up to you though, your entry looks good so far.
Juicy Fruit Yours stands out to me as one of my more preferred ones. It 'looks Psychic' enough, and has armour for Weak Armour. I can't quite say why I like it as I do, but just keep at that design and work with it as you see fit.
KoA Yep, yours is cool. It's one of the ones I like more. I can't say much by way of critique, just work as you see fit.
Leethoof This one doesn't specifically stand out to me either. I can't say why it does or doesn't, though. Perhaps you could make eyes of sorts, sticking out of holes in the hive, with the bees serving as more clearly defined hands?
Lawrence III This is a cutesy design. I can see both the Bug and the Psychic in it- and I have to point out here it reminds me very much of a battery for some reason, which I think works for it. Refine it some, as I think the appearance is worth pursuing.
Mafeking Shade it, and maybe add in some detail on the caterpillar-worm and machine so they stick out more. I can see the Psychic in it, but only if I'm looking for it- try to make some element that makes it more cleanly Psychic-type. It's hard to do that- trust me, I know; Psychic is a rather undefined type- but I think you can.
Mari As I think I've suggested before, maybe make the bug have its own face with human-face-like markings on its back, rather than the markings actually being the face- this helps to preserve its creepiness without making it look too forced in design. It's a solid idea, just work further on it.
Matezoide I see the Psychic typing well enough, but it seems a little forced. I think if you were to refine the drawing, though, it would help with that. Smooth out the lines, make the black of the body a little lighter than the black of the outlines- that should help.
Mos_Quitoxe I've already mentioned I absolutely love giraffe lamp. The only thing I have to say is make it more Psychic type and make it distinct from Mollux, as they look somewhat similar.
Nastyjungle I like the hulking dangerous look of this. I'd say to make the arm stick out more from the body, since as it stands it's kind of hard to make out. I like the little bugs crawling all over him too, hive-mind concept I'm assuming? :3
NeLLY979 Shading's still needed, especially on the tail-bulb-thing. Make it stand out a lot, and maybe add just a little spice to the body other than the purple- it works as it is, but toy with markings and such to make it stand out more if you can.
nov The red limbs flailing skyward almost look like odd horns or spikes to me- maybe try having them down with the other ones or not there at all. It might just be because they look thicker than the lower arms, though, so try thinning them first.
Orivexes Not much to say on this one either- I like it and honestly there isn't much I can say in form of critique.
paintseagull I like the glittery wings, and the long feelers. Both typings are visible fairly clearly, and it's drawn well too. Not much to say on this one either, it's a solid entry.
Pokethan Maybe you could add distinct antennae to it with some sort of quirk that set it apart from the other disattached-wings entries? It's pretty cute. I do want to see it refined, so please do smooth it out and colour.
PuffinHour To me this looks like a Grass-type. It might be because it's outlined in green and has no other colour, but the leafy-lookin' face and cottonball tail just make it Grass-esque to me. Try colouring in base colours and seeing if the Grass-esque vibe still appears.
Quanyails Personally, I prefer your original, more simplistic mosquito, and it's one of my favourite designs here. Stick with it unless a bunch of others object. The only tiny nitpick about it is that the left eye isn't perfectly round, that is how much I'm searching for problems here. :P
RabidChipmunk I find this design particularly cute and do want to see it finished. I think a green/yellow colouration might look best, but tweak at your own decision. How I see it is that the little diamonds under its head are its hands, pulled up tight against itself. As such they could be a little higher up on the body.
Rocket Grunt This is another one of my favourites and you should definitely work on this further. To me it looks fitting of both typings, and ugly-cute. It looks very much like a potential Pokemon as well. I look forward to seeing it coloured! :3
rockspet This one needs more Bug. Some spindly legs and/or mandibles, maybe, and try more than one eye. To me it doesn't look like it could be a real creature as it is, so try different things out until you settle on something you like. I do like the shading, though- the attention to detail about it is pretty cool.
Shelmet This looks Bug/Ground-esque right now. Refine and colour first, since his eye does say "Psychic" to me and maybe it's just the lack of a colouration that's making me think otherwise. I suppose make his body less textured and more sleek and smooth?
Stagnant This one's lacking the Psychic vibe too. I don't know why, it just doesn't come across as one. Don't change the black-and-green of its "hair", though, I do like that. Maybe try more traditional Psychic colours for its body? I don't really know exactly, so don't take as gospel.
SoIheardyoulikeSENTRET I like the bottom one the most, and the upper left the second most. Both look like their typings, I just prefer the appearance of the bottom one and think it emulates Psychic more.
Steampowered Initially it didn't look Psychic enough but I think the pose you have it in really helps. The only thing I could suggest to make it more Psychic would be to add some kind of design on its body somewhere, but I'm not sure if you could do that without messing with its effectiveness. Again I'm kind of at a loss of how to tweak this one.
Teravolt It might be my inherent nature to gravitate away from cutesy ones, but I don't like this one as much as everyone else seems to. I like the idea of it a lot, but I think the pink colouration detracts from it to me. There are ladybugs that are yellow, and you could probably get away with spring green. Don't take as gospel, but I'd like to see alternate colours because something about the pink just doesn't work for me.
The Reptile I think this one is a little too hulking to look the typings right. Try colouring with the base colours just enough so I can see if it's the lack of colour or the actual design, but I'm a little iffy on this one.
Thunderbuckets This one doesn't seem to fit either typing right. It's drawn pretty well, but I just can't see the Bug/Psychic. Sorry.. :/
Tin I think this is a solid entry. It uses many colours to create the Psychic typing, and I think you've chosen these colours well. I don't have much else to say on the matter, really.
ToxicPhox Finish this. It fits both typings great, in my opinion, and I find it one of the better entries in the thread. I have nothing else to say. :P
WPS The Bug-type is a little underrepresented here. My suggestion is to more clearly represent the purple creature inside as a bug- maybe make the larger skull fangs little bug mandibles?
Yilx I prefer your golden scorpion now that it's drawn out. It is also one of my more favourite entries here. Again, not much else to mention here.
