Pokémon World

[Hoeloe]

Because the pokedex entry for snake-like pokemon (onix, ekans, etc) all have "height" that is really its length. So the height in this sprite should be equivalent to if it was completely stretched out and vertical.

Yes, I know. What I meant was that if you take the Dratini you drew in 2 parts, the part on the floor and the part standing up, the part standing up is 3 feet, and the part on the floor is longer than that. 3 + a number larger than 3 is far more than 5'11".

I can't seem to make eyes on dratini that don't look a little bit sad, but with the larger "ears" and snout, I think it's a little bit better. The length should be proportional, as well. Anything wrong with it?

It's because they are angled oddly. I'd suggest redrawing the head, possibly with a different reference.
