Updated the first post of this thread, been a while since they piled up like this @_@;;
This is also the time when I took a closer look at the following request, and I'm afraid I have some objections to it:
Requesting a piece for the
XY index that will soon be onsite - could be something a bit busy like the piece found
here or something more simple like the piece found
here. Only requirement I guess would be that it has to be a Gen 6 Pokemon (though Mega is okay I guess). Appreciate it!
First off, art to be put onto the website itself is better requested
in this thread, not in the workshop, as the art that goes on-site must be of the same quality as the articles which goes there, index included. I would also have appreciated some additional input from other C&C members or even
chaos himself, as I get the impression that you made this request on your own initiative. The index is a page that naturally will get a relatively large number of visitors since it's the gateway to all the other directories, so while it doesn't have to be a contest, it's still an illustration that shouldn't be casually asked for.
As for what's been made for it:

Changed the pose. You never replied my pm.
Size<-- even in the same species, Pokemon sizes do vary, at least that's what they have planned for Pokemon GO and probably future games.
Since I've given you the greenlight to illustrate articles on-site, I have no troubles with you drawing the image, but the image itself leaves me a bit concerned. First of all, the index illustration is meant to highlight prominent mons used in that generation, while at the same time not stealing too much attention to itself. This image would've been fine for a Flying Press article or similar that showcases big threats during XY and ORAS, but for the index, it doesn't seem like a serious picture to go along with it. Secondly, Greninja wasn't really used that much (iirc) during the XY days, and was banned in the early days of ORAS (also iirc), so I wouldn't really use it as an example of a Pokemon that shaped the metagame. Talonflame is a marvelous choice, so imo I'd preferred to have it alone like most other index illustrations.
tl:dr - I feel like an asshole for intervening with this after Cresselia have already drawn a picture, but given how this picture is a somewhat big deal, I feel we should take a few steps back to ensure that all parties are happy. Particularly so since I'm not the actual guy in charge of that area and can be overruled if deemed appropriate.
No clue who else to tag besides
Oglemi ,
tennisace and...
anto I guess? If there's more to discuss, we can move it to
Art for Articles, or a convo involving all relevant parties, so that this thread doesn't derail.
