Hi~
I just thought I'd post some of my recent pictures here for some feedback :D
They're all done in Photoshop 4 with a tablet, in case anyone would wonder about that.
Here's a Dragonair, - http://i703.photobucket.com/albums/ww38/OverlordEtona/DragonairFinal.jpg
A Lopunny, - http://i703.photobucket.com/albums/ww38/OverlordEtona/Lopunny.jpg
And Macha (Maha?) From Dot Hack - http://i703.photobucket.com/albums/ww38/OverlordEtona/Macha.jpg

Constructive criticism is welcome and appreciated~
I'd also be willing to do some pokemon-related requests if anyone is interested~
I'll add to this once I've finished more pictures. :3
 
That...is awesome :D
I would like to request an Umbreon.
It's a suggestions thread, not a request thread. There's a whole forum for that.

These are good. I like the Dragonair's big eyes, head and wings. I see potential, so keep working at it. c:

I like these and would have commented earlier but I had to go to bed so here I am right now hello~

Umm, the only real criticism I can think to say is the Lopunny looks like it's about to fall over backwards or something. But hey, it's definitely better than anything I can do on a computer so you rock.

Have an e-cookie.
 
I like the pose of the Loppuny; it kind of accents the grace that it's supposed to move with, as well as the balance it needs to stand on its toes all the time. xD

The Dragonair's glowy effects make it seem all the more mystical, so that was a nice touch, and the way the head is drawn relative to the angle is nice too.

As far as the "Maha" thing... I'm not sure what it is, but somehow you made it look very furry. I like that part best. :) The purple was done well, too, and definitely surprised me a bit when I saw it; it kind of looks like shading. The sides of the face don't seem aligned to me, even with the tilt, but I'm not very good at perspective...
 
Thank you all for your comments :D I didn't think I'd get such positive reviews~

I'm sorry, I didn't remember there was a request forum. :x I'll have to make a thread in that forum too~ But here's an unfinished Umbreon with an Espeon 'cause Photoshop has decided it doesn't feel like working right now. ^^" http://i703.photobucket.com/albums/ww38/OverlordEtona/EspUmbr.jpg

Yay!*noms her e-cookie* Thank you for pointing that out~ I drew Lopunny on paper without a reference and then when I started to outline and color her in Photoshop I looked at a reference picture and found I was really off. @.@ So the picture you all see is an amalgamation of my original version and trying to make it look more like the official design. Suffice it to say I've learned to either look at a reference first, or just go with my own interpretation~
o: Very impressve. I'd say more but part of me's staring at the Ma(c)ha picture going 'homina homina texture.' Photoshop, correct?
Thank you~ And it is Photoshop CS4, to be precise~ I found a tutorial for fur long long ago and this is my first attempt at making a (kinda)complex picture furry. I'm happy you like it~ It took hours to do. XD

Thank you for such nice reviews~ I agree with you on Maha's face, the perspective didn't come out quite right. :< I think one reason it's like that is my fur process. It involves a bunch of smudging, so the line between colors has moved a considerable amount off to the side. Next time I'll know to compensate for that. :3

Here are two more pictures; sadly they are also just sketches due to my program being ornery. Hopefully I'll have all three and more done soon~
Here's Kirlia and Haunter~ http://i703.photobucket.com/albums/ww38/OverlordEtona/KirHaunt.jpg
And Nidoran Female and Male~ http://i703.photobucket.com/albums/ww38/OverlordEtona/NidoNido.jpg

Thank you again for your reviews~
