[WAR: Season II] Drawn Art

[Coru]

So here are the results for the final week of the WAR
I am a little sad that there weren't more entries, especially as it was the grand finale, but well done to everyone who has entered over the past 4 weeks. ALL the work has been amazing and you should all be proud of yourselves, even if you didn't win, you did your teams proud and you made it a pleasure to be a judge.
Well done all and good luck for the final placings.

Comments: I really like this, although in some places, the couriering looks a little messy, it is well done and the anatomy is good and all in proportion. The pose also looks quite natural. Well done. In terms of the design, I can clearly see that it relates to you fusion draft. Although I am a little unsure where the red came from compared to the original two pokemon, but a bit of creative licencing is ok and it didn't exactly change it too much. I also like how you didn't cover the face with the mask, keeping it very human looking, giving it the true look of a gijinka. The clothing is fully encorporated and looks good,however, the right shoe looks slightly awkward as the spike doesn't look pyramid like compared to the one on the left. I have two issues with this though, but they are not major, they are quite small. The right arm and hand seem to be covered by a full glove whilst the left, closer one has and armband like glove. This is a little inconsistent here, but I know it was due to the fact that the back hand can be fiddly and there would be shadows, but a little bit of a peachy colour would be nice to show it is skin. Also, the white, speckled hair before the tail is lost on the gijinka. It would be nice if you made the belt a bit more fluffy and white to portray that a little bit. Other than that, great work. Well done!

Comments: I like this. Don't worry about the hands, they look fine to me, the only thing is the thumb looks a little absent. The combination of Cherrim and Raikou is so unexpected as they don't seem to have compatible body types to create something out of.. but you did it. I like how you used Cherrim's sunshine form. It makes the fusion seem quite cute. I also like how the fusion is incorporated, but I can't give points for this, I'm afraid as it is purely in the Gijinka, I can give creativity points for the idea though. The anatomy of both the fusion and the Gijinka seems good and I like how you did the hair, that's a nice touch. I also like how the Gijinka has a cape. The toy to resemble the tail is a strange idea, but it does work and I like the idea of the kid playing with it's pokemon pet. I have a few things I want to address here though. The skin of the Gijinka is really yellow. I know it is to resemble the colour of the pokemon but I feel that any other skin would work as the clothes are the important thing here, and you did that well. I feel it makes them look a bit Jaundice and strange, so if you made the skin colour a bit more natural, it would look much nicer. Also, I feel like the shoes don't really fit with the pokemon. I feel if you made him either barefoot or gave him yellow shoes, that would work much better as the pokemon does not have blue feet. Other than these two things, well done. Good Work!

Comments: I like how this turned out. It reminds me of a sort of nature guardian or something like that if you get what I mean. I also like the name. It's quite punny. haha. I also like your idea of it being pure and innocent and that truly is shown here. I can completely see it. The colour scheme is also very pretty. I would have liked a bit more shading but as you said you didn't have the colours, that isn't your fault so it is ok, the colouring is nice anyway and the way you coloured it looks quite nice. I also like the staff. It really helps to incorporate a lot of those harder things that you might not have been able to put in there. I also feel it portrays the look of the pokemon quite nicely whilst keeping it simple at the same time. The entry is also a nice touch. The one major issue I have here is the fact that I see so much of Sylveon. I feel it dominates here rather than it being a mix of both, it seems like it is an 80-20 mix in Sylveons favour. However, the draft clearly shows that there is much more of Froslass in it, so that makes it up a bit. I feel like the pose is good, but it is safe, so if you tried a different pose, it may have given out a bit more character and given you a few more points. Good work though. Well Done!

Comments: That face is priceless. It is great. I love it. Haha. I like how you have crossed the derpy friendly personality of the Gastrolish into your Gijinka. I also like the style you used for it. The hair is nicely done and clearly resembles the headpiece of Gastrolish and the dress looks nice. The flowiness of it is a good way to show the flowiness of the pokemon's body. The sandals don't really relate but as it is a slug/jellyfish, you can't really do anything well with the legs and feet so it isn't too much of an issue. This is a nicely done piece and I like the face mostly, the eyes are good and that face is great, I love it. One thing though. More shading. This piece looks good without shading but I think with some shading in parts, it would look even better. It would give some depth to your piece and add a bit more to it and I think if the dress is shaded well, it could create a frilly flowiness to it if that makes much sense. I just feel that shading would just give it more character. Good work though. Well Done!
