Kirbyofthestars: I do think you have some way to go in learning the elements of art before going for the design portion of it. You have varying levels of originality in your designs: the Regirock one is less so a redesign as it is a repose, Regice is more unique with that ice cream tip and icicle points, and Registeel does interest me with what appear to be ball chains (though I know you intended otherwise). The electric portions of that, though, do oppose the pure Steel typing it has. The designs perhaps could be improved with a little practice, but for now, they’re ordinary.
Overall: 2/10
Doran Dragon: I must say that you’ve pulled off the Regis’ concepts off very well while keeping a distinction between each design. They look like humanoid golems that aren’t just hunks of their respective elements. Each design has its own story to it, from the past to the current-/future-inspired ones, while keeping the original concept intact. You’ve done very nicely in terms of technicalities—no significant faults I can say. I applaud your thought process and subsequent creations.

elcheeso: Your definition of ‘redesign’ is to add a new concept to the Regis, I see. However, beyond horned creatures, I do not see how the elements work together with the creatures that well. Bringing something animalistic into humanoid shapes requires a slight change of anatomy to their designs, and if you lack them, the animal portions become awkward. Regirock has craggy eye holes and a simple, massive body. I do like the icicles and snow on Regice, but anatomy could be improved. The body is round and immediately divides into two small legs, which strikes me as off. Registeel has a curious use of extruded steel lines to give an organic effect—nicely done. The head looks sunken into the body because of the lack of visible neck, and I would think there to be an additional joint past the forearms. The designs are good tries, but there are details that don’t integrate well.

Mastadi: If there was a prize for ‘best sense of humor’, you’d get it. :) I’m surprisingly fond of your Registeel, if only it’s because it has those proportions that carry a sense of power. You’ve got a good sense of perspective and proportion in your designs, but the design themselves, I figure, aren’t meant to be taken seriously. The gears on Registeel, snowballs on Regice, and turtleneck(!) on Registeel are all rather silly additions. As a trio, they don’t fit that well, but by themselves, they’re certainly... interesting.

Bummer: Hmm, knights. o3o A bit uninspired is what I first think, but that is from my thoughts on Aurumoth’s pre-evolutions and the Vanillite line redesign. Instead, I think you’ve done a nice job using that concept with the Regis. They all fit together nicely as a trio of knights—each of them share the same proportions while having distinct differences to showcase their respective typings. I do like the different ‘armor’ each of the Regis bears--it gives a sense of difference to each of them while having a thread throughout. I thought of the sharp lines of Regice, the rounded curves of Regirocks, and the mingling of the two of Registeel as being reminiscent of their defensive stats. I don’t think that you intended that, but it’s a neat comparison.
The qualm I have for your design is the choice of monotone for each design. Granted, Regice isn’t the most colorful Pokémon out there, but removing the yellow from the dots that represent its eyes makes it a plain blue with lights and darks. Registeel does have two choices of color, but there remains a lack of contrast. The ideas are nice and the lines are nice, but it lacks just slightly in the color compartment.

Josia Richter: They’re redesigns of elemental golems, I can see that, but they deviate from the original concept. Registeel, especially, does not look like a golem or humanoid—I do wish you would have changed it, but I am a judge and would rather not give suggestions prior to judging time. Regice, hmm, I’m on the border of determining if it’s an improvement to the original design or not. I do not see a specific concept in mind with it other than ‘ice’. I’d admit that the original design is more solid (no pun intended) than yours. Regirock has the most potential in my eyes for a good design--like Kirbyofthestars, you also incorporated ball-chain-limbs. I’m not saying much from that, though, which, unfortunately, is my style of reviewing. The darker portion of the head resembles a face or skull, which, albeit a nice implication from a design, along with the red spikes and twisted eyes, makes me think of it being a Dark-type more than a Rock-type.
Perhaps it’s just the choice of program you’re using, but I think there could be more artistic skill in this. You’ve done a nice job with Regice and the geometric shapes it has, but at the same time, Regirock’s hands look like paper triangles--that is, they have no depth. If you can, try adding shading to convey form in the drawings.
