DRAWN ART

Welcome all to the Drawing portion of this year's PXFire Summer competition! I hope you got that creative sense going wild and those pens, pencils, colored pencils, whatever you want to get that drive out! It's going to be a wild one!

Over these next 4 weeks we will be creating art. Anything you can come up with to fit the theme for the event. There will only be 3 challenges. Throughout the current event I may leave small hints to what the next theme will be, but you will get no direct hints ;). So pay attention to any wording.

You may be wondering. "How will I be judged?" Well well well, quick to jump to things I see. Let's get to it!

In each challenge you be be judged on a few things:

Design: In this you will be judged on design. How the character looks. If you can at least make your character look recognizable you will be good to go! Note, it does not HAVE to be a Pokemon. It can be your own human created trainer. If you want to use an OC, please provide a link or picture to this as well including your submission noting each in the submission. You will be judged on how the overall turnout of the sketch, banner, avatar, or whatever you choose to create. The overall appeal, design of it, and character. This challenge is worth up to 25 points.

Theme matches?: Generally when given a theme to go off of, you try and match to it as close as you can. So this is pretty basic right? Yup! Come up with whatever wacky, zanny, amazing ideas you got running through those heads of yours! I'm sure you guys got something amazing to show off! This challenge will be worth up to 25 points.

Additional Along with what you draw, did you add anything extra? One character focuses on something great, but did you add anything to give it more flare somehow? A little extra something to give off that feel to truly match the theme? Well here is your chance! While you do not have to add anything extra to fit this. Even something small such as actual fur or scales to the Pokemon, wind blowing a persons shirt, scarf, whatever is used in the picture. Any kind of effect you can think of even to a small little detail. Did you use any text in the creation? Does it block out important designs? Make sure it fits properly into the design. Small little details. This challenge will be worth up to 25 points.

Creativity: As a last little extra to go with it all. You will be based on your entire creativity on the design. How the character looks, pose, effects, backgrounds. Anything extra you can think of to add to the design will make it all better. Just don't get worried and want to add too much that it ruins your idea. More doesn't always necessarily mean "better." Any additional content you can think of to throw in your design to make it more appealing and fit the theme to show them you really are the BEST! This challenge will be worth up to 25 points.

Please remember to keep to forum rules as for content. If you have any questions please contact me via PM or VM for more information. A last little detail. Not everything needs to be hand-drawn. Things like tablets or computers are okay as well if it is what you are more used to using to "draw" anything. What's important is creating things how you know, not being forced to doing it another way just because it's labeled "drawn art."

Now, unto the the first challenge. For your first challenge, the theme is...

Challenge 1: Summer Heat

Create a design of something related to the heat of summer or keeping cool. Summer gets pretty hot and it also creates some interesting colors, treats, and events. Remember to think creatively on this. If you want to create an idea where you and your team are all involved even better! More creative, the better your submission may turn out.

[Chakramaster]

For those wanting to participate in the event please be sure to get your submissions in before the end of each week's challenge. This week's challenge is listed above. I will update the challenge in the original post and my latest post here come each new week. So please be sure to check both. If you have any questions about the challenge or the event please PM or VM me or ask me here (be sure to tag me to grab my attention).

[VeloJello]

Question! If we're using an OC, does there have to be a reference image for them? Or can we use an OC with no reference image, or draw an image of a being that's not our OC at all?

For conscience sake t might help to have an original image to go off of. So in case there's something in particular you want shown off to that character. Like an item they hold, or unique feature, etc it would help to know. That way if it's used in the submission it might help to push out exactly what you were aiming for. You don't have to, but it's up to you. It is not necessary or required to submit a reference. Though desciptions to your submission may be good if there's anything you want to describe of it.

[Shruikan]

Ok, just to make sure, the submission doesn't have to be pokemon related, right?

[Chakramaster]

Nope. Be as creative as you want with it! Describe it a little too if you'd like just to help create an understanding of the image if you'd like

[VeloJello]

Finished my entry (I may have gotten a little swept up haha...)! Drew my OC from the Game of Storms RP - Jones the Heliolisk is soaking up some rays!

Won't say too much on submissions so far. Don't want to sway opinions or others in their submissions. Great to see the submissions already coming in! Great work! Week 1 is coming along good so far.

Here's my entry! Did the best I could with what I had, since I don't have a tablet, all I could use was a pencil and some crayons. Anyway, here's all the members of the Gracidea Order chilling in the summer sun! The archen ready to be the best at volleyball is Pokémon Trainer Sarah. The sky form shaymin serving the volleyball is Shurikan. The lugia spectating from the water is Soups. The jolteon relaxing under the umbrella is Arrow-Jolteon. The sneasel clutching the juice box and ready for some action is Azura Evley. The ivysaur guarding the cooler full of snacks and drinks is Spiderc. The pikachu reclined in the beach chair is The Nonexistant Tazz. The Salamence with the rocking shades is Soulmaster. And finally, the snoozing land form shaymin in the inner tube is me!

[Coru]

Here's my entry. I think my HDMI port is broken on my laptop so I can't use my drawing tablet (£300 now useless ;-;) so I went for a watercolour piece (with acrylic while for the stars). First proper time I've done a watercolour piece, didn't originally like the fact you can't control it, but it worked perfectly for this. Went for galaxy to represent the aesthetic of the Prankster Platoon. The scene is a Zorua lounging underneath a palm tree. The zorua is kind of unclear but I think the palm tree worked out really well. I tried scanning to get a crisp picture but it sharpened it too much and ruined it so I went for a bit of a posed picture. Hope you like it, I sure enjoyed trying something new. :D

Ah summer. Nothing like two friends enjoying the warmth by hanging out and eating ice cream. They aren't anyone in particular, just two friends sitting on a bench in front of some unimportant building enjoying each other's company as well as the two-scoop ice-creams they're eating. Drawn with a Range of drawing pencils from HB to 6B. Hope you like it!

Back in War II my drawn people were butt-ugly... now you get butt-ugly in detail!

[Neo Emolga]

Before there was surfing Aloan Raichu, there was...!

And I really want a pina colada right now.

[Arrow-Jolteon]

I am aware of how late this is, but here's my crappy entry:
https://68.media.tumblr.com/91d9127bba6e2071cd509cbd21e70ac3/tumblr_osti2y0T7c1vyv07xo1_1280.png
It was a hot day at the beach and Shinx wanted an ice cream. He's about to get his butt frozen. EDIT: This is a new entry because the one I uploaded before was complete and utter trash and I hated it.

[Chakramaster]

Arrow-Jolteon It's all good. At least until I get on to update everything is good and I won't consider late. I may have to decide on what to do for late submission though. I'm not one to just turn down someone's hard work so easily.

Alright guys, it's Sunday so time to get those entries graded. I'll try to have them done soon as I can, but with work it may be later than I'd want. Be on the lookout though. Your next challenge...


week 2: Dazzle

Draw a character. Whether it be your favorite Pokémon, any Pokémon at all, or someone or something entirely different. Give it some flare! Sparkes, shiny, bright, colorful, cute. Whatever you can think of that will really show off a bright design. Backgrounds welcome if you so chooseas well.

[VeloJello]

Is fan art for something not Pokemon allowed in this? Because I've been hunting excuses to draw Adventure Zone fan art.

[Chakramaster]

Not this week. It can be anything. The next 2 weeks after will strictly be Pokémon related though

[sammy0295]

Summer heat you say? How bout nah.

edit: Oh sheet, I just saw your post about week 2. The cutoff was now abouts, right?

I'm not one to tell someone their hard work won't be count. And seeing as how I did not post a notice for the last 24 hrs. There will be no penalties as long as you submit it before midnight PST tonight. For week 2 I will post a last minute announcement in this thread for anyone to get their last minute submissions in. After that, any late entries will be accepted, but have a late penalty as long as it's submit before the grading is released

[Scytherwolf]

Here's my entry for week two. I hope it's colorful enough!

[Chakramaster]

Grades will be posted tomorrow. It may be a little after midday, but when my laptop breaks, internet messes up, and phone starts all having problems. It makes thing haaaaaaard. XD. I'll find a way like I got my internet back up for now, but I expect it'll die again over night.

No worries though guys. I'll have it up asap.


EDIT: Sorry it took a little longer than I'd hoped, but keep getting more issues after another here preventing me from being as active as I want. Technology is failing me D=
Velocity

Design: Heliolisk in this picture looks to be in part of nature. The kind it loves the most and comes most natural. We can easily tell what it is, where it's at, and it's colors are bright enough. Shading matches and fits in places. No complaints here on the design portion. 25 points

Matched Theme: While soaking up the sun is a thing you see a lot during the summer. It even fits to what you drew as that type of animal/Pokemon like the sun or warmer/dry air. Your theme does match so points for you, 23 points

Additional: Sun, check. Shadows, check. Background, check. All great additions to this submission. There's enough to get a great depiction of the character and the setting it's taking place. While the pose is great and I really liked the submission. I feel like there could be even more to really showcase the summer setting. 23 points

Creativity: The creativity behind this was really amazing as mentioned before. How you showed off the Heliolisk basking out in the sun in a setting natural to it. Even so, it can be hard to tell if it truly matches with "summer" is the only thing I can say about it. Other than that I really liked this submission! 23 points


Scytherwolf

Design: Your overall design is bright an colorful. It's got multiple characters in one place to show off what's what's going on and where. The image and idea is clear enough we can tell what it's meant to show. 25 points

Matched Theme: Your theme is matched. What's one thing to enjoy in the middle of summer on a hot day? Relaxing at the beach! Anyone can enjoy it. Water Pokemon or not. 25 points

Additional:Your design is great, colorful, and bright. We can tell where they are and anything going on in the setting. Even as much as to the waves and water splashing around behind the Vaporeon, Emolga, and Heracross. The sun is shining on a fair and sunny day. Nothing to really complain about here on this one. 24 points

Creativity: Your idea fits the theme, it's got not just one, but THREE characters included. Each relaxing in their own unique way. The place seems like a perfect place to fit exactly what one enjoy doing on a hot summer day. 24 points


Noblejanobii

Design: Similar as I am with limitations and little to offer, but it's no worries. Each character you drew was made out to the best of your ability. As long as we all know Pokemon (which I'm sure we do) we can tell what is which Pokemon. Some small piece missed in parts. Like the Pikachu for one I originally thought was Mimikyu at first. Especially missing the red cheeks (or cheek to show). I would have missed that if you didn't state it was yourself. The setting looks nice and warm. As a lot of friends are all having fun together and enjoying the beach. 19 points

Matched Theme: The theme appears to match easily. A group of friends all hanging out at the beach and enjoying a hot summer day. Either playing volleyball, relaxing enjoying a snack, staying cool under the umbrella, and relaxing in or on the water. I'd say it fits the theme perfectly. 25 points

Additional: With limitations it is hard to make changes or as descriptive as we want to be. Your setting fit and the characters are all set out. It's very nice set out piece and you even added small details that one would see on a beach. Volleyball, coolers under the umbrella, sunglasses one someone, a chair to lay back on, even an inner tube to lay on and relax on the water. So for all the additional things you added. Each adding to it. 25 points

Creativity: Your thought out you idea really well. Trying to add everyone you can think of to keep it part of your team. It's a fun simple thing that keeps everyone together. Another part of summer that everyone loves. The only part I could say is everything is so spread out and everywhere. The sheer size of some compared to others is really the only things I can say as part of this. It's nothing detrimental, but it's a small thing that threw me off. 22 points


Coru

Design: It's a very simple creation. A Pokemon relaxing under a palm tree. It's easy to think of palm trees when you think about beaches. As you did mention, the Zorua is kinda unclear, but as long as you know what a Zorua is and look closely. You can make it out. The thought behind the design to it is an interesting one. Similar to that of a night sky being star-like. I really do like the design and thought to this. This was a water color design too. The color is very interesting at that 20 points

Matched Theme: The theme is simple to this using a palm tree. Even though palm trees are set out at a beach and it shows. Though even after summer, palm trees are still part of the beach. So even though it fits the summer theme of a beach it's hard to tell of a time or true theme. 17 points

Additional:The two images in the picture are the only things to look at. Though there's something a bit different about both. The physical color of these two objects have a different unique look to them. To fit an image and not look as they normally do. 21 points

Creativity: I love the whole look to a starry night time sky. Especially where you can see every little detail to stars, constellations, or the brightness or darkness in that sky design. It’s a sight to behold. That in itself is something. 22 points



Morzone

Design: The design is interesting, yet classic. Two friends enjoying ice cream together as you mentioned. Smiling and just having a good time! Both characters very unique in the setting. 23 points

Matched Theme: The theme is simple as that. Two friends enjoying the ice cream they have together. It is a nice way to cool down and beat the summer heat 24 points

Additional: Other than the wall they are leaning against and the ice cream in their hands you can see some additional shading in places. The wall itself had its own design as you see in most wooden structures. I'd say it was pretty creative. Maybe create something a little extra in the background as well in future. It was great overall, so 23 points

Creativity: The idea for this was simple enough. 2 friends having some time to relax together, laugh, maybe share some jokes, and eat some ice cream. While it is very nice and creative. Sometimes it's the simplicity that perfects or effects something. 22 points



Neo Emolga

Design: The design is bright and colorful. A simple Pikachu with some added extras. It's pretty simple and is a very nice throwback in the new age of how Pikachu looks. Sometimes it's those simple thoughts that can make or break it. 24 points

Matched Theme: Your theme I'd say hits the nail on the head. A summer sunset while surfing the waves with some tropical treats and a Hawaiian like attire around his neck. Keeping it cool with the shades. 25

Additional: A nice sunset background with waves to boot. The Pikachu holding onto some nice treats while it relaxes to it's classic surfboard. It's nice to see bright colorful images to a background. 24

Creativity: This is a very nice throwback to the early days of Pokemon. With an added style to it! A Pikachu on his surfboard. Holding a pina colada while surfing the waves at sundown. It's even wearing sunglasses and a Hawaiian like flower necklace. It's an interesting new design for the old school surfing Pikachu. 24 points



Arrow-Jolteon

Design: This colorful piece was an interesting mix between the ideas of summer and a way to keep cool. An island with two Pokemon. One trying to keep cool by seeing the other as what it is. Ice cream. xD. I gotta admit it gave me a good laugh. Even from the shading in places. 25 points

Matched Theme: Yes! The theme fits and the general setting fits to show it. 24

Additional: The setting is pretty simple enough. What looks to be a tropical island at sunset and an additional character. A ice cream cone Vanillite. Literal ice creame itself. I can see how the summer heat probably got to that Shinx and BAM. Picks it up and licks it thinking it's eating the coolest thing around. 25 points

Creativity: I loved the humor to this submission. How you used Pokemon in a humor sense for summer and the Vanillite as ice cream. It's not just us, but even Pokemon themselves believe that. This Shinx took advantage of that. 25 points



sammy0295

Design: Is...is that Wigglytuff on fire? That must be really hot. It looks like it's just given up on it all. It's got a colorful sense to it. Very nice submission. The heat can be exhausting. 21 points

Matched Theme: While it looks like it has a heat effect. I think a little more to showcase what it is. Even if that's fire. It's not easy to be able to tell if it's caused or related to summer in this sense. 16

Additional: Other than the effect coming off of the Wigglytuff there's not too much else. Even something small to give that summer sense in the picture could be a bit better. 17

Creativity: I really like how the Wigglytuff has that look like it's completely given up. The summer heat really can do that. How it's sprawled out and the effect coming from it looks like it's just burnt out. Very interesting take 20

Week 3 will have an updated scoring board. As it is now it's very confusing and hard to make a good easy to go by scoring that'll just leave questions if you look at the scoreboard.

Please tell me if I'm grading too harshly, not harsh enough, or what you think will need improvement if you think it needs attention. I'm not one to really wanna be harsh on someone. So if I'm not being hard enough. Let me know please.

[Arrow-Jolteon]

Here's my entry for week 2:
https://68.media.tumblr.com/7a91c125143d186fad1508a74a26acc3/tumblr_ot1v5rXxeF1vyv07xo1_1280.png
Ampharos is supposed to be dancing and performing its Signal Beam move for a crowd at a contest. I hope the image reflects that well enough.

[Morzone]

Boom! Morzone here. With an entry for week 2.

This is called a zentangle, which utilizes a collage of patterns to isolate and emphasize a white silhouette. Normally this is done in just black and white so as to bring more importance to pattern, shape, and shading, and so that the color doesn't overwhelm the outline in the center. I tried color this time though, since it better fit the theme, and for the centerpiece pokemon I chose, in honor of my awesome team, our mascot Skarmory! Hope you like it :)

You know him, you love him, it's Taako Tacco! I challenge you to find a more dazzling wizard in all the land.

What is more dazzling than a Shaymin and Mimikyu duo using dazzling gleam! Truth be told the power actually went out when I was working on this and I may have gone a bit overboard with the colors but I was bored. Plus it looks semiaccurate to the dazzling gleam move used in the anime.

[Shruikan]

So, it didn't really turn out as dazzling as I hoped, more like lightly glowing, but anyway here's my entry:
http://i.imgur.com/dxjyvsM.png

[sammy0295]

No, not on fire, lol. Just a lazy abstract background.

http://i.imgur.com/0k8lwit.png
Does it get more dazzling than the literal rainbow pokemon?

[Neo Emolga]

Okay, I'll admit, as soon as I saw the theme, I got reminded of these three gals from Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky.

https://s5.postimg.org/b4n35913b/Team_Charm.png

If you've played PMD2, you know who these gals are! And if you haven't.... >:O

[Chakramaster]

Alright guys gonna jump on grading as soon as I can! Thanks again for all of your entries!

Week 3 theme is........Ready for Adventure!

Draw your character, a character, or otherwise. These next two weeks will be strictly Pokémon related. Create a Pokémon showing how it or your character would prepare for an adventure. Did it finish its journey and find something truly majestic? You can even showcase that! Do they have any attire such as a bag to carry anything, a scarf, or even part of a rescue team or otherwise? Be creative and create your own if you want to. Show something truly adventurous.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Along with this week points are being scaled down to 10 per category as to atone and make grading easier. Week 2 will still be graded as the point system started, but week 3&4 will have each category scaled down to 10 per each individual category.

[Chakramaster]

Arrow-Jolteon

Design: At first glance the Amphros looks to be in a showfloor. Like some competition. Using the Signal Beam to make it even more showy! 24 Points

Matched Theme: It's every bit as dazzling as they say. It's showing off and very colorful while showing it off to all. 25 Points

Additional: the background is filled with a crowd watching as the Amphros dances. Showing off one of its moves to make a dazzling scene. 24 Points

Creativity: it's a really well thought out idea. Not only is it dazzling, but it's showing it off for all to see. The absolutely center of attention. While it can be hard to show off a particular "move" in a picture. I think it's really well represented especially after you mentioned what it was in your submission. 25 Points


Morzone

Design: It's not everyday you see designs like this. It's a bit of a different style used to create this piece. It is very colorful and draws your attention. Almost everywhere you can see a little something outside of just the character used.23 Points

Matched Theme:. Theme matches. There's something to show off in each corner, but I think that's the one flaw. 24 Points

Additional: Though I love the look and design to how the entirety of he piece looks. There's so much to see in every corner. It almost takes away from what the Skarmory is showing. The background itself is colorful and very creative. I feel that's just one thing that takes away from the scene though. Don't get me wrong, I love the piece, but it's almost hard to find the actual focus in the image everything surrounding it draws in our attention. [i]21Points[i]

Creativity:the creativity is really great! It took a new style (one I haven't heard or at least seen of in a long time) especially for this challenge. It made it bright, colorful, and attracting our attention to more than one particular area. Whether a puzzle piece or a pokeball. Everything fits into a unique place25 Points


Velocity

Design: This focuses on one character. Someone called Taako Tacco. While I don't know much about the character. It's based on what's here, not knowing who or what. Taako is holding a flame showing off the style they prefer. The design shows off the character and a pose. 24 Points

Matched Theme:Yes, it's a dazzling like photo-op taken at an opportune moment. 25 Points

Additional:the background is simple, but flows well with the character. The flame being like a wizard's calling card in most senses. He's ready to show off his dazzle, but other than the pose and flame that's about all the dazzling features to the piece.23 Points

Creativity: The submission is showing off a single character and what he does best. Keeping his pose and showing off a hint of his powers as a wizard. A simple flame in the hand to add to the effects. 23Points


Noblejanobii

Design:The design is focused on 2 characters and a move that fills the area. Making it just a flow of colors everywhere.24 Points

Matched Theme: Theme matches and shows off a flow of colorful effects. 25 Points

Additional:theres one 2 Pokémon, but the background is filled with a dual clash of the effects from the moves they are using. Keeping the area filled bright and colorfully. 24 Points

Creativity:It's a creative piece using a simple idea and boosting it with the power of 2 instead of one. The colors as you say may seem overboard, but that's what Dazzling Gleam is. Two times the power makes it even brighter and dazzling. 25 Points


Shruikan

Design: The Pokémon showcased in this is giving off a glowing like effect. It looks like it's in a darker part of the water.23 Points

Matched Theme:So-so. It's not super dazzling, but it has an interesting effect to it. So it still gets points 18 Points

Additional:other than the glowing effect and darkness lighting up behind it. There's not too much the piece offers.its a great piece and very lovely. 19 points

Creativity:the piece has got a slightly colorful effect that helps to light up the dark. While the idea is great I can see why you think it doesn't fit what you may have wanted. I think it did really come out nice though. So while it may not have come out like you wanted. I still think the idea behind it came out really well 20 points


sammy0295

Design: the design is simple and shows off an effect unique to the Pokémon in the image 22 points

Matched Theme: it matches. The rainbow effect shows off Bo-oh in a pose where it's wings are spread and extending out the length of the rainbow in an upward way just as the rainbow effect is.23 points

Additional: the Ho-Oh is a Pokémon known to have a rainbow nearby it's presence. Other than the rainbow and Pokémon itself it's a natural background. 22 points

Creativity: it's a realativeky simple idea brought into the piece. The execution is shown well too 22 points


Neo Emolga

Design: The design is really great. The dazzling Team Charm posing as they do. Showcasing these girls off in the way they love doing. 25 points

Matched Theme:it matches for sure. These girls aren't just your average Exploration team, but have the dazzling moves showcased in your submission. 25 points

Additional: along with the poses they love doing. Throwing in a heart with the team's name on it is almost all even more fitting. 24 Points

Creativity: two things came to mind with this theme myself. Corey and his Delphox along with this. Team Charm. You seemed to capture their true nature and what they love to do in a unique way. 25 points



@Scyhterwolf
Scytherwolf

Design: it's a colorful piece with many shimmering and shiny gems. It really catches the attention of your eyes. 24 points

Theme Matches: I'd say it does. The crystals/gems are bright a dazzling alone. The Heracross is looking at one amazing sight. 25 points

Additional: it's not just the Pokémon, but the illuminating crystals are shining around it too. A dazzling sight even more so 24 points

Creativity this piece is very creative. The surrounding crystals around the Pokémon illuminating the area and Heracross itself. Truly a sight to behold

[Arrow-Jolteon]

Chakramaster you forgot to rate Scytherwolf, just a heads up

[Morzone]

Yeah I figured the colorful background was going to be distracting, especially since I didn't center the skarmory properly. Usually it's just black and white so the Nice large empty space pops out a lot better.

[Noblejanobii]

Here's my entry for this week! Team Backstreet is about to head out on an adventure! So they're stopping by the bulletin board to see what jobs are posted. Isaiah, the bayleef, is already packed and ready to go with his bag strapped to his side, but Lucky, the shiny eevee, can't seem to decide which missions they should take on! Decisions decisions!

Here have a trio of adventurers reaching the start of their adventure

[Shruikan]

Ok, I honestly hate this picture. I would have started it again from scratch were it not for the deadline. Anyway, here's my entry. It's meant to be my team from Super Mystery Dungeon, in a pretty accurate portrayal of how I prepare for exploration. :P

Aaaaaand there. Now that work is done and I'm back on submissions for week three are complete. Any past this point will be considered late.

Week FOUR Theme is......

Pikachu. More The better. Male, Female, any. It doesn't matter. Just Pikachu

Partners for Life!

Create an image using Pokemon showing you and a partner Pokemon. A trusted ally in any manner of your choosing. Using your favorite Pokemon may be better as you can work things out more to your liking with another Pokemon. This can be in PMD or any way of your choosing. The theme "partners for life" could mean as much as just showing off your true companionship.

Okay here is my entry for this week! I made it on time WHEW. *leaving tomorrow*

Week Three's Grading
Noblejanobii

Design: This image is especially well-known to anyone that has played PMD games. A notice board with missions for teams to go on rescue missions, help wanted missions, or even just adventure. 8 Points

Matched Theme: The theme matches for sure. It shows the team getting ready for their adventure by visiting the boards and checking for any notice. 10 points

Additional: The area, background, and team bag are all there. Even as much as more than one mission notice is included in this piece. 8 points

Creativity:It's a simple piece as in terms of "adventure." So it doesn't hurt the piece. In terms of showing his there's not too much else I can say that could be done. 9 points


Scytherwolf

Design: It's a really well done image showing the Pokemon ready for anything. On it's adventure and finding a waterfall. Is there more behind it, around it, above it? Adventure will show the way if it is. 10 points

Matched Theme: Check! Exploring always shows a little adventure. 10 points

Additional: The background is a colorful piece showing the surrounding area after already on the adventure. Finding something or at least the start of the adventure to come. Even as much as the adventure bag and scarf are on the Pokemon. 10 points

Creativity: It's a very creative piece as we know adventure is only the first step, but what's next to that exploring is up to adventure. 10


Morzone

Design: The design is really nice! Detailing into the house and the backyard including all of the tool of creating your own adventure! 9 points

Matched Theme:Theme matches up and you're good to go! Yet another 10 points

Additional:The backyard has a good creation to it. All included are the tools and the friend to go on the adventure of their very own creation. There's no serious plan, but they make their own adventure in their own backyard. 10 points

Creativity: You don't really think about it much these days. Honestly it's a very nice throwback. That's how it all started. When we wanted to have fun, we went outdoors into our backyards. Very nicely done 10 points


arnisd

Design: The design is very nice as it shows the area being explored and what's to offer. Even the Mega Charizard that is trying to fit inside through the opening up top. The larger than it probably would like to carry backpack and the adventure hat and map. 10 points

Matched Theme: Yuppers! I'd say it's a complete match 10 points

Additional: Everything here you could see on an adventure. Even in choosing what to include in the image. It's colorful and shows a few hints of possible treasure as well. 10 points

Creativity: More than one area and hints of treasure are very strong hints there's a big adventure ahead. Possibly one to remember. Even from the team itself to the little things in this are very creative. 10 points


Shruikan

Design: The Pokemon are well done, but as you mentioned. The surrounding area is hard to make out and it makes it as mostly a blur. While it doesn't hurt it as some pieces are meant to be that way. It makes things like the brown image behind Fennekin look a bit odd or off. 6 Points

Matched Theme: Theme matches so you're good to go here! Even a little comedy to it from this as one thing could be totally against us in any dungeon while the other feels the could just blow easily through it. 10 points

Additional: The Looplets can be seen along with the typical scarfs on any PMD team. The oversided rock that's crushing the Turtwig in the back. It's all neat, but I wish I could've seen a bit more from the area around it. Still not a bad job as it fits the theme and has some good comedy to it. 7 points

Creativity: While we do have deadlines, it is pretty funny. With most submissions you expect it to be more serious. This piece had some comedy behind it and fit the theme so it's pretty creative. 9 Points

My entry for this week!

http://img08.deviantart.net/9e0f/i/2017/207/7/a/partners_in_crime_by_writerraven-dbhscak.png

You know him, you love him, he's the Mr. Hyde to my Dr. Jekyll, it's Madder! Drawing us in our true pokesona form was fun mainly because I've been updating my style a lot lately and haven't really drawn them in this new style yet, so being able to do so for the first time was great! The super moderator duo that both the Stalkers and spambots fear, we're an inseperable pair for sure.

Also fun fact the mask at the bottom is a symbol often associated with Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, which seemed all too fitting.

[Morzone]

Here's my entry for week four! Featuring two of my favorite RP characters: Mara the Kirlia and Theo the quilava. They may not be together all the time, and yet they are always together, even when apart.

[Shruikan]

Ok, not really finished, per say, but better backgroundless and missing some touching up than not there at all right?

http://i.imgur.com/LI5jWO3.png
So yeah, my favoirte pokemon & the pokemon that's kinda become my pokemon-persona.

[Neo Emolga]

It's me as EMOLGA and Caite-chan as Jolteon! We're a cool electric pair, aren't we? :D

[Chakramaster]

Alright I'm gonna get right on grading asap. Any entries are still acceptable, but will be counted late from here. All entries once again look great! :D

[Arrow-Jolteon]

Welp, this is way too late and I literally just finished. It's okay if it doesn't get a grade, but I feel like it's a waste not to post it.
Flygon being a total bro and giving Jolteon a nice ridehttps://68.media.tumblr.com/f5b2e57fcb1732d71b37a85e0cd27fab/tumblr_otzkvm7sR21vyv07xo1_1280.png

Scytherwolf

Design: The design is very colorful and clear to make out what is needed to be seen. The 2 in this picture hands....errrr arm? Claws? xD Either way, it's very nicely made! 10 points

Matched Theme: This theme matches perfectly! 10 points

Additional: Background of trees, the grass beneath them, to the expressions on their face. Truly 2 great friends 10 points

Creativity: Sometimes simplicity is a good thing. Even something small as a smile and a handshake. 9 points


Noblejanobii

Design: We all know of Madder and your pokesona. Using them both in this was something we could expect to see! With the flower to the hat Madder holds. It's really nice! 9 points

Matched Theme: Ding ding ding! Another match! 10 points

Additional: Details to your characters (pokesona and Madder) are all there. From the flower to Madder's hat. You even created along with mentioning the mask in the bottom that is to represent Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. but where are they walking away from PXR? 9 points

Creativity: We know the two are inseparable. To show this in your artwork here with little extras is nice. As represented they are "inseparable." 9 points


Morzone

Design: Two friends, similar thoughts. No matter how far apart. Their friendship is still as strong as the other's. I think this is a really great creation! 10 points

Matched Theme: Another dead-on matched theme! 10 points

Additional: Pretty much 3 entirely different settings in one image showing off the piece. It all matches pretty perfectly too! 10 points

Creativity: The idea behind 2 friends thinking of each other no matter how far apart is very creative. Two different Pokemon. Both thinking of the other. 10 points


Shruikan

Design: 2 friends sitting together is another common theme for this. True it's better it's posted here than not at all. We love every image that gets submitted. Even if it's not perfected. 8 points

Matched Theme: I'd say it matches. That Shaymin couldn't go anywhere even if it wanted to xD. 10 points

Additional: Other than the two in the image. There's not too much else to offer aside from the shadow. Even if we have a set time limit I always hate having to even take off a few points. Let alone seeming too harsh. So additional piece even something small such as objects or a scarf or some accessory that symbolized their friendship could've helped a little more here. 5 points

Creativity: I can see the idea behind this one. As two friends as close as they are. Their friendship can be inseparable. I just wish we could've even just a little more two these two. It's adorable as it is, but it probably could've even been so much more with a little more time. Too bad we had time limits to these. 7 points


Neo Emolga

Design: The amazing pair, Neo Emolga and Caite-chan! In an epic pose as their Pokesona, respectfully. A truly electrifying pair Pika Pair is still supreme ;p 9 points

Matched Theme: Shockingly, another match! 10 points

Additional: Looks like it's dusk as night is close to falling (or the sun rising). The ground is dark, the horizon is a light red color where the sun is setting (or rising), even lights are on in the distant buildings are still lit. Nicely done on additional on the background. 9 points

Creativity: Caite and Neo both posing their best to showcase their partnership. Truly a pair to remember. A great show of their poses and the background is nice. It's pretty simple, yet shows exactly what's needed. 9 points


Arrow-Jolteon (late or not, every submission is accepted. Glad to have and see every submission. You're all equally amazing! :D)

Design: Flygon and Jolteon just hanging around with each other. Just flying in the sky. Very colorful for the bright blue sky behind them with clouds hovering nearby. 9 points

Matched Theme: Yuppers! A clear as the sky match. 10 points

Additional: From the colors to clouds in the sky. The Jolteon is sitting on the Flygon as it just gives the Jolteon a ride through the sky. 9 points

Creativity: Another very well done, yet simple piece where the two friends are just doing what they do best. One helping the other and just being awesome! 9 points

-for lateness

They're going to hunt down MichaelXD.
