Round Requirements:

[Lander]

Artist: Lander

Concept: Dewgong/Venomoth

The magical fusion happened over the ocean and the presence of such a big body of water forced the creature to a aquatic adaptation.
It's been spotted over the Baltic sea in late 2015. First appearing as a ping on the military marine systems.

[aburnier]

Artist: aburnier

Concept: Pinstar (Pinsir/Omastar)

This abomination escaped from an illegal Pokemon genetic experimentation facility. At fate would have it, decades later it emerged from the depths to terrorize the coastlines of the Kanto region. Thus far, no human military means or Pokemon from other trainers have been able to stop it.

[AbrahamDHR]

Artist: AbrahamDHR

Concept: Moltking

Pokefusion of Moltres and Nidoking

[anise]

Artist: anise

Concept: Gasvee

Fusion of Gastly and Eevee. It is widely believed that the Gasvee appears to guide travelers who have become lost in the forest. It is debatable whether this service is worth the cost.

[Orm Irian]

Artist: Orm Irian

Concept: Parapas

When it was discovered that Paras mushroom-virus is actually highly contaminous, it was already too late. Many pokémon already mutated and the proud race of Lapras already seized to be.
People now keep their pokémon as isolated as possible to save them from the spreading virus - Pokémon fights were banned and people were actually quite afraid that this virus might adapt and infect people as well...

[Arbinn]

Artist: Arbinn

Concept: Weevee

Poor weevee was the only pokemon that never got adopted...

[Moirae]

Artist: Moirae

Concept: Weeizard (Weezing / Charizard)

Team rocket have discovered the dark secret of Pokemon fusion. It involves leaving a ditto in a Pokemon daycare centre for so long that it goes mad and tries to be two Pokemon at once. Eggs from this unfortunate ditto produce powerful Pokemon, all of which unfortunately are utterly insane, not that team rocket thinks that a disadvantage...

[Rob Powell]

A little over an hour to go...In the meantime I have went ahead and posted the new topic! Rather than shortening it to a week and a half due to this topic's extension I simply gave it the extra few days so that it can get us back on schedule...

Unfortunately I was unable to give myself an opportunity to work on one of my Fusions beyond sketches, but it's was a sun process nonetheless! Everyone's are looking great!

[fabianguiza]

Artist: fabianguiza


Concept: tentaduck - golcruel


They said it couldn't be done, but life found a way

[Lander]

Thank's for a great round. It was a pleasure to be back and play some.
Back in the days we tried to give each other some crit. It's all very subjective and you may do what you will with what I type. It's all just my personal thoughts on your work. I only do this for fun so I'm no expert and most of the time it feels lika I can hardly draw so take it with a lot of salt. I have no personal engagement in the Pokemon universe so I won't have any comments on the actual fusions.

aburnier : I have a hard time with the blurring of the image that may or may not have with the abilities of the creature. I'd like to have focus on the eye where my focus goes but now there are other parts of the feature that are in focus. also the high contrast red/green areas are a bit to effective distracting me. Over all I really like the design. The hard shell and the soft parts go well together. Also the protruding eyes are very alien and scary . Good work!

AbrahamDHR : The creature is flat and need more work on the light and shadows. I would suggest that you start on a paper that is 50% gray and work your values from there. I have a really hard time with values myself and every once in a while when it works it's like pure magic. More like sculpting than painting. Maybe integrate the tail with some feathers so that it doesn't look apart from the rest. If you do some more work I think you'll have a really nice piece for your portfolio. There is a nice balance to the stance and I like your colors. Well done.

anise : I've got problems with the face on this one. The ears are awesome! but the rest of the face is confusing. multiple rim lights and two noses? You could add some anatomical features to the body as the chest that normally shows between the front legs. Really nice flames. I tried that once and it looked like crap

Orm Irian : A bit washed out in the colors. Work on your light and shadows. You have a lot of very very cool features but lacking a light source the image goes flat and the volume is absent. work with the cast shadow on the ground to make it grounded. Very very cool design!

Arbinn : Haha! yes well no wonder. That looks lika it has some serious health problems I think you would have nailed this one had you only had some more time. The perspective looks kind of funky but that might be on me. Well done.

Moirae : Again we have the values issue. Decide where you have your light source and work your values from there. Try converting it to gray scale and rework your values. Those crazy disgusting titties blew me away so you got my vote.

fabianguiza : It looks a bit cut out from the background and flat. Work with your values and your light source. It looks very spiritual and god like. i like the eye


As I said. This is what I see and think and you may have very good reasons for creating your art the way you do. And you should. So you can totally ignore me
Hope to see ya all soon in cow.
