@MofoAmbulance: YES! ROTOM!!! YEESSSS!!!! I was hoping someone would do a Rotom! The theme is perfect for it! I can't wait to see the finished piece.
@Yilx: Gawrsh, doesn't look like a Pokemon at all! But that's alright, because it is one of the official 5th gen Pokes. Great job, but it the highlights need to be stronger (I wish you'd go to the extreme and choose a bold color like yellow or light blue). Don't forget to play up contrast and opposites. It's already great, but I think you could really take this to the top with a tad more adjustments. Good luck!
For other artists who aren't sure just what to do yet, I AM EXCEPTIONALLY FOND OF SABLEYE! MOAR DARK/GHOST POKEMON YES?!! Ahem, there's loads of Pokemon who can pull off the opposite color contrast theme, like Seviper or Starmie (purple & yellow), Huntail, Salamence, or Charizard (orange & blue), Cradily, Yanmega, or Flygon (green & red), Gabite, Marshtomp or Kyogre (red & blue), the possibilities are endless.
