Remove the arm it looks it bit awkward, other then that though it's great.
I'm going to be gone on vacation for two weeks, so the image will probably have been selected by the time I get back. Therefore, I simply wished to submit one more drawing.
I have no program to color this, so if anyone- and I mean anyone -feels that this image is worth coloring, be my guest.
Be back next Saturday. Pick a good image guys.
Excellent job. Don't those things supposedly steal your soul when you stare into them? We could easily dump a lot of Psychic type support on him that way. Well, not sure about the soul-draining part since I'm just recalling from memory, but hey, pretty much half of Japanese devils can do that anyways.
I like your's Cerb.
Very creative. ^_^

I am really liking Cerbi's. It seems like the type of "support Pokemon" we are looking for. Like Cartoons', it is based more on an object which always seem to have the weird support options (bronzong, claydol, magnezone, chimecho, probopass).
I would actually like to see this on shoddy. And it looks like its done by hand. Very impressive. :D

Heh... I just found some old 12-pack of colored pencils I could use... but I suppose at this point coloring my submission would be pointless, huh? Pointless because no one seems to like it at all...
Y'know, this is why I don't really draw anymore - because there's nothing more demoralizing than hoping for feedback and then waiting for responses on it, only to wake up the next morning and find it's buried page(s) from the top with no comments on it T_T

I agree wholeheartedly. I only draw out of boredom, now. Though, I'll put an obligatory
in my post. I was hoping for more than a single person finding it kinda funny.
Well.... Chrono.... Errr. The reason I didn't say anything was because I didn't think it was a really great concept for a support pokemon. Sure, it looks pretty fucking cool. But I CANNOT see that thing helping the rest of the team at all. Maybe... eating the rest of my team, sure. The gems do take away from its 'evil-esque' appearance. Overall I just think it's a good design, wrong pokemon.
Thank you for that. What was upsetting me was the lack of comments, positive or negative; why it's good or not good. That was what I tried to do at first when it was just still in pencil, when I could've changed things, but I didn't get any constructive criticism so I just made my own changes and hoped in ink it would be noticed more. At least if someone were to say why it was not-so-good for the pokemon, then I wouldn't be worrying about it and take time to see about another design.
So in the next CAP, please by all means tell me it's not good if it doesn't fit. ;)
I really like Cerbi's, and I agree with UberMunch. It loosk look it wants to help something out. It's like a ship. The wheel helps it, by turning, to avoid danger, or whatever it is. It matches the typing perfectly, as it has some ground resemblance, but not too much. The wheel could be a thin ship steering wheel that was covered in soil, or whatever Cerbi said.
Do you really think so? I think it looks a lot more like a Poison / Ghost or a Rock / Ghost.
DJD, I would like your snake design a lot more if it's face was less rounded looking. The skull looks kind of like an Alakazam skull, when it should probably be more like a Cubone skill. Also, it doesn't appear to have a mouth, but pulling the rounded purple face a little further into the skull could remedy this.
Anyways, right now, I'm all for Daddy Long Legs but DJD Snake is in close second. I just can't get over it's face :(

Yeah, that's the same vibe I got off of it. More Ghost/Rock than poison. And the back story about rising from some inanimate object points me towards Bannette rather than poisonous soil.
Also.... I have to ask. Isn't your avatar one of the new elemental's from MTG newest set? >_> It looks so familiar and it's bugging me. lol
To be perfectly honest with you Chrono, I didn't know you had even submitted anything until you just mentioned it on this page. I had to go back and find it after I saw this post because of that. Otherwise I would have said something before. :P
-Bitchslaps-
WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?!
This thing has definately secured my vote. I wasn't really sure who I would vote for before --- "Maybe Daddy Long Hands", I was thinking, but I was very tentative. Now there is a submission that I can stand behind one hundred per cent.
Before someone says it ( because I know somone will ), I don't think it's too "Ghostly", I think it's just Ghostly enough. And by this I mean it has just enough of the appearance of a ghost/spirit so that we can pack all those otherworldly support moves on it, like Trick Room, Snatch, Magic Coat, Hypnosis, maybe even Moonlight. I could also see Heal Bell having some merit on it, the way spirits make so many odd noises. We could supply a Pokédex description that mentions the sad "bell sounds" it makes as it roams the Earth.
I reallyreallyreally like this thing. (:
MMmmmmm, now I'm not so sure who I'm going to vote for.
I really liked the one Cartoons drew, but I also like Cerb's.
They're both really good and could easily fit the design.
Hmmm, I thin Cerb's would have fit better if the community voted on a Special Biased Pokemon. =/

Well, I can buy the "being brought to life via poisonous soil" theory. It could still be considered a Poison/Ground just by having back stories and artwork that implies it's a Poison/Ground. A lot of these pictures and concept have multiple type combo deep within them, just some are more predominant than others. I could say that "Daddy Longlegs" remind me more of a Ground/Bug than Poison/Ground by it's appearance. I think we should all remember that making a creature with the right balance of "type X" and "type Y" is hard at times.

Hmmm, on that note --- I wonder if it would be an OK idea to flip the types around should they fit better with the art the community chooses in the end ( Poison/Ground to Ground/Poison, for example ), from a flavour standpoint?
It doesn't matter competetively and it would make it so good designs that show a different balance of "Type X and Type Y" aren't voted against for that reason alone.

I don't think it really matters.
The Normal/Flying types are more Flying than Normal, but that doesn't mean Normal isn't present.
I don't think it matters at all "flavour-wise" if we switch how the type is read, because that's exactly what we're doing--changing how it's read.
People will discriminate against certain concepts and how well they fit a certain type no matter what.
Well the reason I'm suggesting this is because I remember last CAP a lot of people were saying things like "It's not Fire enough" and "I'd vote for this if it looked more Fire/Grass but it looks Grass/Fire", etc. So I thought that if we could change how it was read, people wouldn't decide that way and truly good submissions would have a better chance of winning.
Just my two cents.
EDIT: GT, you missed the concept sheet for my submission. It's here.

Sorry for disappearing guys, went away for the long weekend.
Does anyone know how long we have to keep playing with these designs?
I wish I knew how. Hell, a Smogimp driving Garchomp crazy and playing tricks on him would make my day.
