    I won't put all of them here, since I've done a lot, but I'll post a few of my favorites. I'll go from old to new as well, to finish out strong 83

    Firstly, I'll say right off I do no like Leafeon and Glaceon's official designs. So, I made my own lol. Botneon, a combination of botany, the study of plants, and the obvious -eon that the Eeveelutions have.

    The actual link with more into can be found here: http://www.deviantar...otneon-62608727 One with Neveon, the ice type I made, with another Botneon is here: http://dracofeathers...ce-105350058��I honestly don't remember the meaning behind Neveon now. It's been a while now since I've drawn it lol

    Another Fakemon I did was an electric horse type. I think this was before Gen V, so I didn't know about Blitzle/Zebstrika yet.

    The watermark is the name I used to have on my dA before I changed it. If you looked up DragonFire01 it would redirect to me. Too lazy to go back and change it xD

    This Fakemon is probably one of my favorites. I still need to make evos for it.

    Since the move curse works differently with ghost types, what would happen if an abused Pokémon died and came back for vengeance against it's trainer? Inspired a lot by creepy pastas like Lost Silver and Black (not the official game). We need a horror Pokémon game, seriously.

    Giratina. Cause, Giratina is awesome.

    [​IMG]

    If you didn't already know from my profile and icon, I love Dragonite. This is one of my characters, Ambrosia.

    Lastly I'm posting this image as the link to the original on my dA only because it's a huge poke-dump of doodles and such. http://dracofeathers...s/27501906&qo=9

    Other Pokémon art, and my full gallery can be found on my dA (check my profile for link).

    If anyone remembers when I posted as status about picking a random number from 1 to 719. Well it wasn't as random as you all thought it was ;D

    - Trainer_Ebony picked #006:
    [​IMG]

    - Mithia picked #648, and someone had a #472, but maybe deleted the comment? O_o Or maybe I'm just crazy and imagined it? lol
    [​IMG]

    - Kaeda_Yoshii123 picked #666:
    [​IMG]

    - Splasher picked #649, Kuroida picked #58, and RedScizor #007:
    [​IMG]

    - Scrafty picked #560
    [​IMG]

    - Last but not least: AstralDragon picked #127, Banshee picked #121, and TotalHeartsBoy #429:

    ~ROUND 2!~

    With this round I'll post as I finish, instead of all at once so it's less stressful. And easier in general lol.

    - Nocturnal picked #399. I must say this poke has gone up in my favorite ranks now after drawing it. I didn't really care for this one much at first. I've even made a new character from this one. Still working on details, but I'm thinking his name will be Archie. Maybe change. #cutestbidoofever? lol

    Also this one will be posted first as the plain lineart cause I liked how it looks. But I will also shade it as I did the others previously, and post that as well.

    [​IMG]

    - Mithia picked #635
    [​IMG]
    I always pictured Hydreigon with three heads more than having the arms that look like heads, just the 'arm' heads are blind and can be used as such, but are mainly heads. Also, Hydreigon is furry, which explains it's feet. I gave this one battle scars too, since it's previous evos info say they are aggressive and bite/attack just about anything.


    - #77 was the next request. I actually forgot to write down who posted this and the rest in this round, so if you see this, i you want, let me know and I'll put names.

    - #549 Liligant

    ~ Now, there was a point to this! A sort of promotion of sorts, to give a few free examples of how my art looks/can look currently, in order to see if anyone would be interested in my possibly opening a shop for these type of sketches. Not for free, but cheap to start off. PLEASE give me some feedback on this if you can! I don't want to go through setting up a shop just to have it sit there. As you saw above, I can do both realistic and the more cartoonish style, so there will be options for how you would want me to draw/shade/etc what you request.

    ~ Lastly, of those of you who participated in above status requests. If you would like the Pokémon image you picked without the watermark, to use yourself (but NOT to claim credit for making), let me know. You may edit the image if you want, but if you post or reuse it, you MUST give back credit to me in some way. I am very paranoid about theft, and have had it happen many a time. I get very nasty when these things happen also. So please remember this. I don't like being mean.

    ~ If you did NOT request any of the above images and would like to use one, please ask the person who first requested. If they give the okay, I don't mind letting you edit/use it.

    These are great! :o I really like your Botneon design. I like the official design of Leafeon, but Botneon is just as cool :D

    Thank you! <3 I really need to draw it more, I do like it's design.

    Eh, the official design's not terrible I guess but I never thought it followed the original 3 very well, with the mane pattern it had. I understood with Espeon and Umbreon why they were more sleek however.

    Thanks! <3 Hopefully I'll get around to drawing the other dragons as well. I'm my own worst critic at times.

    That Mismagius sketch looks great, also the Starmie looks cool too, you draw very good.
    So are going to try the number choice again?

    I really like your traditional drawings. The are really smooth and the shading is good all round. You also have some really nice dynamic poses for your drawings which makes them more unique. Nice job!

    Love that Gliscor! Glad you remembered my comment. I deleted it because of the influx of notifications, so I'm sorry.

    Thank you! Glad you like them!

    Maybe, but the point to why I did those was to see if anyone would be interested in buying a sketch of a certain pkmn with points. I don't want to open a shop and not have it be active, you know? If not yourself, do you know anyone that might be?

    Thanks for commenting, I appreciate it! I prefer traditional too, always have. Just the easiest for me.

    Ahh, I wanted to think it was another mod that had posted it. Deleting is understandable though, no worries. Glad you did remind me, or it might have driven me crazy trying to remember lol. Glad you like it too, i had a lot of fun with it. It's probably one of my favorites, with all the shading I did on it.

    Hehe, yeah I had fun drawing it too. Was easy to think of a pose for it, since it's the 'puppy' Pokémon. Thanks for commenting!

    Lol so thank you~


    So guys, no one really said if they'd be interested if I opened a shop for these (and more later on if it goes well)! Or should I just do more random 'pick a number' statuses first to gain more attention for it?

    I personally think you should continue with the 'pick a number' statuses until you're used to doing orders/requests and then once you've familiarised yourself with that, by all means open a shop. I'm sure you'd get requests. There aren't that many traditional art shops around here, so maybe that could be your opening.

    I did say last night that I promised you a critique so here I am. :P

    I first want to say how gorgeous your shading is; it's smooth, consistant, simple and contrasting. I think the shading is successful because of those things; thanks to the simpleness and contrasting tones they give the Pokémon a more cartoonish feel.

    Some things that I feel needs improvement are Charizard's flame (what would happen if you reversed the coloring of the inner and outer flame?) and I would probably add the lower half of its body but the paper size can always be an issue (I think you resolved it well by cutting it off to the wings; speaking of wings I feel the line direction can move in the direction of the wings so it flows better); I also feel Gliscor's body is a bit too dark compared to its original color (the shading is a little close to its wing color), if you see its body color then it is relatively light so I think you can go over it with an eraser and lighten it up just a little bit to be a better tonal contrast; speaking of that, I feel the moon on the Mismagius is also too dark so lightening that up will also resolve it.

    My art teacher has told me to take a couple of days to think about what you want to add from this critique and what you reject from this. But I do hope this helps!

    (also if you want to open a shop then feel free; you'll get PokéPoints that way too!)

    I usually don't do too much shading, so hearing you like it really helps, thanks! I've actually found it a lot of fun as I do these requests.

    As for your critique, I fail hard at drawing flames, so I'll definitely try that next time, or look at references or something. I did the wing cutting off the body like that on purpose though, or the image would go off my sketch book page xD I thought It would look better. The Gliscor actually looks a LOT better on paper. My scanner darkened everything and I couldn't get it to look all that great in one way without losing something else. New scanner, so getting the hang of it still. I may go back and fiddle with the image again and see if I can get it to look better.

    Thanks! I had fun with that one, being it looks so much like a dragon lol.

    I thought I'd have trouble with Lilligant to be honest, but I found it wasn't that hard to draw. Glad you like these, I love hearing feedback <3

    I keep meaning to comment on your portfolio but I usually get side tracked so forgive me for saying nothing sooner. Anyway I really love your art you've done a wonderful job with it. I'm always amazed at what people can do with a pencil your shading is so smooth and has a good gradient to it, whenever I try to use pencil it ends up streaky and patchy so great job. Also you give your Pokémon such wonderful poses.

    So for the requests, when you first did them I totally didn't clue in and just said the first number that came to my mind. Meloetta looks great you did a wonderful job at shading the different colors differently so you can tell them apart from one another. Also that wink is so cute I really love it. I alwasy find it interesting to see whether people think Hydreigon has fur or feather on it and I've always thought fur because it has levitate it doesn't fly and I can see that you also went with fur. I also like that you tried to make it's 'arms' more head-like like the hydra it's supposed to be based on and also how you payed attention to previous Pokédex entries for it's pre-evolutions it really adds on to the detail.

    All in all you've done a wonderful job and I hope you keep up the great work! :D
