Ever felt disgusting? I feel disgusting right now, dammit. I'll post the revise tomorrow. I need to scrub my self down to my bones!!!

Feeling a little less disgusting now.

I'm no good with these things myself but let me illustrate a thought or two.



The belly appears too flat / rises too fast.
The tail gets really thick shortly after the base and then becomes rather thin and keeps a constant thickness at the part hidden by the head.
I've noticed in about all your pokémon pieces that the eyes never match. They're always different in size or shape. Charizard, for example, has a left eye with an angle towards the center bottom while the right eye (further away) is all round. Keep in mind there's no nose in between the eyes hiding a part of it.

His snout is still bugging me, he does look better though.

Hopefully today's image redeems me from my last disgusting piece. Hope you like it

Today's pokemon is none other than Wartortle! Hope you like it.

it kind of looks like his right lower eyelid is higher than his left lower eyelid, like he's twitching his eyelid or something.

Yes like I said, you constantly mismatch the eyes

ALso, it lacks some overall depth. It liike like you mainly shaded the belly shell parts independently and not as a whole unit, too.

Dammit! The eyes, I keep forgetting them.

Could you please elaborate a little bit more on the overall depth thing, I'm not sure what you mean by that, like I don't see how the shells are shaded differently.

Uhm, it's hard to explain.



The red and blue lines indicate where the colour drops off to a darker shade. Well, as you can see, they don't match each other; while the red line basically implies that the bottom part of the shell is more shaded, the blue line puts it lower. It's not... continuous enough to make the belly shell appear as a whole. Then there's the two areas I circles in pink. The left one is darker than the right one when they actually should be rather equal.

[Mabelma]

I see what you mean, did I shade it right this time? What about the eyes? Are they better?

[Kami]

His arms are too thin, they need to be like tree trunks.

[Mabelma]

Here's the reference (http://www.pocketmonsters.net/images/cha...s/2450.png) I used looked kinda small in comparison to his legs but I see what you mean, anatomically if his legs are huge, his arms should be huge too.

Yah, though the link leads to a Frosty 404.

Yes because this myBB's automatic link conversion is awful



The eyes look alright and the shading seems okay (though I think another darker colour overall would not hurt). The nose looks weird , like a line painted on and not symmetrical; the upper back shell looks like gangster knit hats somehow.
