Oh, look! Purplekec--I mean, glitchedpuppet! c; I thought she didn't do Pokemon stuff anymore. Her work with colors is amazing. Have you seen her old color theory tutorial she made in Flash? It's very eye-opening.
(yes I'm going to say she because despite the whole gender identity crap I still see PK as a she, w/e)


And what I thought was really hilarious about Sarah's GCeA Bulbasaur + Ivysaur piece was the critique it got.

There are spots around the edges of the Ivysaur where the paper color shows through, particularly in the blue above it.

Uhh, lolwut? That's a chalky style. OF COURSE PARTS ARE GOING TO BLEED THROUGH SLIGHTLY, IT'S A STYLISTIC CHOICE >_>

Sorry, I just dislike critiques that don't really take the best interest of the artist in mind or stylistic choices. Like, I get that "IT'S MY STYLE!!! D:<" is not a valid excuse for effed up quality and anatomy, but the majority of the time when you're writing a critique...you need to use your best judgment to try to understand what the original artist was going for and try to work with that. Or you know, if you don't like the stylistic choices just say so...but acknowledge that your stylistic tastes may be different than the other person's...but simultaneously, when it comes to an objective review, don't let such a thing get in the way. I don't know.

Sorry, I guess I'm being way too hard on Mike, but. Ugh. Pet peeve.
