messed with the hues of Raichu and Golem's skin, and made some other tweaks to Raichu.edit: ( and shaded golem's leg a bit more )

About Golem's hand, it does look off, but I got sick of working on it and am fine with it as is

and Gorsal's right about the poses, I'm conveying personality through the pose instead of making them battle ready. Golem's a bad ass so he looks ready to fight, but Raichu is more of a happy optimistic type so he's not

gwop

Raichu's eyes look kinda weird, looks like he's... sad. The circle on its right cheek could be rounder, as well as the top of his head.

The shading on his body and Quagsire's doesn't make sense, imo. Looks like you made some parts clear and then suddenly shaded others. The clear parts are meant to be volumous spots, so it should be more rounder in Quagsire's case. Raichu's armpit is a huge blot of dark orange because of that too, you might take a look at it

anyway, the lineart looks alright aside from those problems I found

*oh, Golem's left leg is banded*

fancy new shading

Quagsire is looking pretty sweet; the shading is much better on that one. I would still round out the shading under his mouth though.

As for Raichu I just don't even know. Every one of his shapes seem off... His face should be a a pixel or so lower and several pixels to the left, the foot on our right could use some better angling, his ears are too big and clunky, the end of the tail should be sharper, his stomache should be rounder, etc.

ACTUALLY, it's a female Raichu, the tail is as sharp as it's supposed to be

but everything else is valid, Raichu needs some work

I feel like Quagsire needs an extra darker shade

I think Raichu shouldn't have a chin and you should connect his face to his body with one shade instead of having that one line or darker shade in there.

hhhhhrrrrmmnn

new raichu eyes and quagsire feet, as well as other small fixes

For some reason, I REALLY don't like Raichu.
I think it's the face, but unfortunately I don't know what's causing it to look so off for me so I can't really help you.

I think Quagsire's belly should be more rounded than it is now

The arms are a bit too long on the raichu, maybe try to shorten them by a pixel or two.

Raichu's eyes are too high up his face.

Or maybe his face is too high up on his head.
