Oh god, I haven't updated for several days.

Here's the dust devil again, this time with rough coloring:

Coming up - more detail, shading, and a sand texture.

OK, I googled Shoopuf and found this:

My design:



They have similar coloring(purple, brown)

Maybe I can change the colors a bit, what do you think???

Ah. Sorry if I caught you off guard with my statement. I didn't mean it detrimentally at all. It just reminded me of the Shoopufs, and thus the quote. Perhaps I'm the only one that saw the similarities, having played the game many times.

As for you art submission itself, the only thing I would suggest would be to alter the legs a bit. They seem too gangly to me. Almost like he will fall over at any moment. Assuming Klutz would be the ability, that would work well. I doubt that will be the case, however. Also, the head seems almost too heavy. Like the neck can no longer support it, thus why it bends.

It's OK :)

The big head and slim neck are part of the design, I like the somewhat depressed pose it have(sad=dark XD)
Maybe I can change the legs a bit, but I want it to have big feet on thin legs


do its legs have two joints?

It' back legs do, I'll fix it if it looks too weird





EDIT:

I suck at shading :S

Yo!, here's my concept pokemon so far. Well two-ish...

I haven't quite decided which color design I should go with, and any feed back would help greatly.

So basically my design is based of the Ur-turtle, or more comonly called, the World Turtle. With his head hiding in his shell with his glaring eyes sybolizing DARK type, almost sinister, while having his shell decorated like a globe to sybolizing, obviously the Earth, or better yet, his GROUND type.
I placed Lunatone next to him because my idea was that my Pokemon has a sort of relationship with it much like Mantine and Remoraid do. As in like you would need Lunatone and my pokemon's "pre-evolved form" to evolve into what you see up there (And perhaps there would be a different evolved form if it were Solrock).
Any sugestions or comments would be gladly apreciated.

REALLY nice design. I'd stay away from the sepia, and go with a darker version of the more colorful shell. I'd also reccommend that you not use real continents as models, as technically, the Pokemon world is not our own.

InHell13, your design seems like something out of Spore. Not a criticism, just an observation.

So i'm thinking this is getting pretty close to final submission, might add in some addition material, but the design has seen it's fair share of changes.

I have to concur with darkchicken here. I much preferred the windswept, sandy color of the original one. While I like the bones, also, I don't particularly like the tail all that much.

Do I have people supporting me? xD
Please, I need your comments!

This are the two main designs of Armadillo:

First one

Second one
http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/4411/dillocapcopia.jpg

Please, tell me:
a) What do you like and what do you dislike of this Armadillo.
b) What I have to change of this design and what I have to keep.

I like the first one the best, maybe you can try the second color scheme on the first design
 
@ Caladbolg
1. He has little character but its a very nice pose.
2. His character really shows but the pose doesn't seem right in my opinion. Can't quite find the right words for it. =/

Frilled Lizard Creature Thingy


...I think I relatively lost the concept I was thinking in this.
That, and the feet and tail are horrendous.

And it doesn't even look that ground or dark-y (though I suppose a bit of color can fix that), but ehhh...
Hell, it almost looks like a dragon.

If I wasn't so terrible and slooowww at drawing, I'd probably start over. Though I suppose I'll run with it.

C+C please?
 
Final Submission

Okay...since it has 1 in favor and none against, Checkmate it is...

FINAL SUBMISSION:

checkmateremake.png


Checkmate, the Chessmaster Pokemon. Checkmate is an extremely intelligent Pokemon. It is not only intelligent enough to outwit an Alakazam or Metagross, but it also has the telekinetic power to deftly manipulate any of its miniature clay pawns as it desires. It can psychically manipulate the ground beneath it with its baseplate, creating powerful yet local earthquakes. They often play strategy games with others of their kind, as no human or computer opponent has ever stood up to it yet. It may even be capable of manipulating its foes into using their own secondary effects against them.

Secondary Stuff (Man do I have a lot of secondary art...):






And a humorous "warstory" showcasing each of the secondary art pieces: http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2254733&postcount=486

Note that Checkmate is my artwork's working title. Not trying to jump polls or anything, though if this wins I will still probably submit Checkmate (or some homonym thereof) as a name then.

Please support,

I might love you for this.

@PkmnTaicho - I liked the messier coloring without the bones a lot better, I thought it looked really awesome and covered everything brilliantly. It also, in some ways, reminded me of this Final Fantasy Esper that I always thought was pretty awesome.

@AragornBird - Not a huge fan of the color version, I liked the pose & everything much better in the shaded version. Maybe go back to some of the original parts of your piece? Of course, it's 1000000x better than I could do =P.

Colored it. Hope it looks kinda better. Though it's still pretty plain, I guess. Any ideas, anyone...?
C+C is very appreciated. Heck, even just pure crit. Bash it to your hearts content if you want to, really.
I'm not unconditionally loving it myself so a straight honest answer just detailing what sucks about it is also appreciated.
... Ugh, I hate those legs.
 
Thicken the legs, wide thighs, then calves that angle into small hands. Try pulling a Toxicroak on the fingers, making 1-2 of them claws.

EDIT: Also, he could use a forked tongue, and tan, sand-like thighs. Maybe some fangs would be nice.
