Comment: I like this and I like the idea of it being a big robot with a remoraid controlling it at the top. That definitely gives you creativity points. I also like how you have tweaked the colours slightly. It makes this Octillery stand out from its original form. However, I feel it looks a little bit flat as some areas do not have the shading which should be seen on that type of texture. Such as the wheel/tracks that clearly are from a tank. They follow the overall shading of the body/feet, which makes them look flat on the pokemon, making them look more like markings. Other than those few shading issues, it’s a good design and good idea, Well Done

Comment: I like this as an Ambipom Mega, I like the creepy face it has, even if it was intentional or not. I also like the spikes on the head. Even though it is a small change, it adds to the look of the pokemon by making it look more threatening. I also like the shading technique. It is simple but it suits the piece really well. However, I feel a bit more could be done with this. If you changed a bit more and added to the Ambipom Mega, I feel that you could gain a few more marks for creativity. Other than that, I like it and it is a good piece of work. Well Done.

Comment: I like how you have added two arms which use rockets/missiles as hands. That’s a good touch. I also like the black markings you have added. You also seem to have made Beedrill slightly more humanoid rather than bug-like, which I think looks better on the concept you created. Also, I like how you changed the wings, it makes it look more streamlined. However, there are some shading issues with this. Some areas look completely flat due to a lack of shading, such as the rockets and drills. It may just be the scanning, but it looks like they have no shading so they look completely flat. The arms and legs are fine, but I would have liked a bit more shading on the body to show off the round nature of Beedrill’s body. Other than the few shading issues, great Mega. Well Done.

Comment: This looks great. I especially like the shading technique. The sketchiness of it really looks good with this style that you used for the Mega. Also, I like the way you make Togekiss’ wings more bird-like by adding feathers. The head also looks good, the wing shaped eyes are a good addition. One issue I have with this is the feet. I feel that they look awkward. Not much for the right foot, but the left foot looks strange. To me it looks like it should be a side view it looks more like a view of the bottom of a foot, however, I understand how hard feet are, so this brings down the anatomy score down slightly. I feel that if this had a background with it, which some of the entries had, it may have been a close to winning.

Comment: You surely know how to make a pokemon creepy, haha. I feel the creepiness of this Raichu is a good touch. We are so used to Raichu being a cute Mouse pokemon that it makes it look almost a different pokemon due to its character. I like the hair (If it is hair) That extends from its head to its back. It makes Raichu look a lot more mature. The only thing I can mark this down on is the shading. I understand that this style is not meant to have shading, however, I feel the lack of shading makes it slightly harder to know exactly the features of the pokemon. Such as the hair, I almost knew it was hair due to the look of it, but I had to look and think to be sure. This is the only thing that could be improved, but I understand that it is part of the style with small amounts of shading. Good creepy Mega, Well Done.

Comment: I like the idea of this. I like how you have made Gallade a soldier, it really suits the pokemon. Also, I like how you have made Gallade’s red crest into a Jewel on the armour, that was a good idea. One thing I feel could be improved is the feet. The look quite awkward and flat. They do not look natural, but as I have said in Velocity’s comment, I understand feet are really awkward. This is a good sprite and the shading works well with the style. To improve, you could have added a background. Well Done.

Comment: I really like this one, it is really unique. I especially like how you have tried a different perspective and it is as if it is flying over you. That will give you more creativity points. I also like how you have made Skarmory a plane. It suits the pokemon as it is originally a metal bird. Also, although simple, the background is a nice touch. I feel that the outlines could be improved slightly. Some seem quite shaky and rough and in some places it doesn’t connect up, mainly on the right side of the neck. Fixing the outline would result in a much better piece. Other than that, there is not much more that can be improved. Maybe try to add more contrast to the grey tones if anything else is needed. Good Piece and Well Done

Comment: Wow, I’m struggling to fault this, it is a great piece of work. The outlines are smooth, the shading is done very well and the background is a nice touch to the work. I like how you have made it look more like a torpedo as well. It looks slightly more true to its name now you have made it look more streamlined. The only thing I can say to improve is you could have expanded on the background a little to be a bit more creative and made it look better, however, it isn’t completely necessary as it is about Mega Evolutions, not backgrounds. Well Done it looks great.

Comment: I like this one, it is a great Vaporeon Mega Evo. I like the Trident Head and how you have expanded on the flappy bits (Excuse my bad terminology, haha.) The shading style goes great with the drawing and It is an overall great design. However, I feel that you could have expanded slightly on the pokemon. I feel that you could have added a few more features to set it apart from the original Vaporeon, however, this is probably just me being picky. I feel the only other thing this lacks is a background. If this had a background, or if the other entries did not, you would have a chance at winning, as it gives extra creativity marks and makes it look better, in my opinion anyway. Other than that, great work here. Well Done.

Comment: I like this as a Ninetales Mega. (Eventhough it doesn’t have Ninetales now, haha) I like how you have expanded on the hair tuft, it is a nice addition and makes it look great. Also, I like how you have made Ninetales look more rugged with the spiky fur, not the sleek smooth hair the original has. The Purple energy balls are also a good idea. I feel that you could have done a bit more with this. I feel that not much was done with the concept on this to completely set it apart from its original form. Again, it might just be me being picky. Also, I know the shading style is meant to be messy, but I feel you could have shaded the tail a little bit better as, to me, it looks a little flat. Overall, great design and good Mega. Well Done

Comment: Flygon! I like this as it is simple, but effective. The shading works as it is very simple but the shades are easily distinguishable and fits well with your style. Also, I like how you have changed the wings. I feel they suit Flygon much better than the rhombus shaped wings. I feel what is needed here is a bit more creativity. It is a good drawing, however, I feel that you have not changed much from the original Flygon, I see that you have changed the wings and tail, but not much else seems to stand out. I feel that if you changed something else or you tweaked something such as a colour in one area or another aspect of the pokemon, it would stand out more. It is a great piece of work, however. Well Done.
I know this sounds like a Cliche but I mean it. Everyone deserved to win this week. Every entry was a great standard, as you can tell by the extremely close scores. The only thing that stopped some from getting top marks was the lack of a background when others had them. Carry on with the great work and you are all talented artists. Hopefully I will be able to see and judge more of your work in the challenged coming up in this event. Congratulations everyone.
