All those stuff about type or stat is relative.Does anybody else get the feeling that yDG's actually looks more like a Rock/Steel type? =/
Voted Cyzir. Seriously, that one should win.
I agree, to a degree. I tend to be very lenient when it comes to aesthetics and such -- gameplay mechanics, balance, and the like represent the artistic side of game design. Once those details are established, the conceptual artwork should be left up to the artist's own artistic interpretation.All those stuff about type or stat is relative.
Does Mewtwo looks fast?
Does Jynx looks like a Ice type?
Stats is one thing, yeah. Celebi doesn't look very bulky, I honestly wouldn't have expected Purugly to be so fast, etc. But generally, it's possible to discern at least one of the typings a Pokemon has, or at least get in the vicinity. While Jynx's Ice typing's difficult to see, you can generally approximate that it's probably a Psychic type (since it doesn't really look like any of the others. Rock? Nah. Ghost? Maybe, but it seems a little solid for that. Fire? Probably not. Normal? Maybe. But most normals are usually pinkish/white in coloring.). In yDG's case, the body seems a lot like it's made of Rock, but the claws give the impression of Steel.All those stuff about type or stat is relative.

Of course, and I still thinking that. To explain that, please, read the Magmortified's post.I agree, to a degree. I tend to be very lenient when it comes to aesthetics and such -- gameplay mechanics, balance, and the like represent the artistic side of game design. Once those details are established, the conceptual artwork should be left up to the artist's own artistic interpretation.
But, it is desirable and logical to have a concept art be within imagination's reach of the projected gameplay mechanics. Just because there is an element of freedom in the design doesn't mean you should stray completely away from details such as type, stats, etc.
But I don't know why you bring this up, Caladbolg. If I remember correctly, you criticized many an artwork in the Art Submissions thread, saying things looked "too physical" or "too bulky" quite a bit. (I think you said Regi DS's design was too "Psychic-looking"...?) Well, it works both ways, ya know...
...Why I post that in the Art Submission? 'Cause, the artist may change something of this stuff. Right now, Nobody can change anything.
You have a problem with yDG looking like (maybe) a steel type, and you're voting for Cyzir?Does anybody else get the feeling that yDG's actually looks more like a Rock/Steel type? =/
Voted Cyzir. Seriously, that one should win.
To be perfectly honest with everyone, at the moment not a single entry look like a pure Rock type. Everyone has some hidden secondary type. Here are my opinions on each of the entries so far, note these are my honest opinions and in no way trying to insulting nor trolling anyone. :cYou have a problem with yDG looking like (maybe) a steel type, and you're voting for Cyzir?
