Ahhhh the nice first reply, thanks mate x]Hey, you've got some pretty neat stuff in here!
You've got some interesting pieces here, you seem to know your basic on shading and other stuff. If I can give one critique, it'd be to try some new ways of shading. Try to find a reliable light source to not make it seem like you're cell shading around the entire piece. You can use some work on the line art, but I'm glad you've stated that you're learning and that's really good! All artists here are still learning, and your stuff seems pretty good so far. Maybe you can teach us some stuff too!
Anyways, welcome to the Studio and I hope you find yourself right at home!
Hot damn, I like this one the most. The lighting you used in this piece really brings out the colors, and its pose also grabs your attention right away. It was only afterwards that I noticed that the green shards were somewhat unjustified, but they also bring some well needed contrast into the picture, so you could probably expand upon them further so that Sandslash isn't obscuring them entirely. Other nitpicks include how its body isn't as symmetrical as it could be (smaller right leg, right eye, and its right claws could point more to the left), but it's a really solid image you should be proud of!
Definitely, I'm working on that. Poses (shapes), outlining, shadings, and moods are the things that I'm testing at this point. Thanks for dropping by, PixelMoniac_ !!Really nice art here, I quite like your shading and your colouration, plus the dark angels and self destruct logos are fantastic! I'd say however you could probably work on anatomy and just generally trying to make your shapes make a bit more sense especially in the limbs, but it's really nice stuff regardless :)
Ahahaha thanks! those green shards weren't there, originally, but after adding random greens in the BG out of boredom, it turned out to make things a bit more fresh in the eyes (and make the actual object stands out from the BG as well).Hot damn, I like this one the most.

As for your art overall, one thing that the above Sandslash pic has that your other art for the most part lack is shading and lighting with more colors imbued with them. Shading with white and black may get the point across, but if you really want to make an image seem alive and vibrant, making the flat colors stand out with warmer highlights and cooler shadows can make a world of difference. You already know how to apply that, I'd just like to see you put it in practise more often.
But judging by your skills as an artist, I'm hereby adding you to our list of approved artists. If you wanna know more about what that means, feel free to check out this post, although I should note that this doesn't change anything regarding our expectations of you apart from what you've already shown us. Welcome to Smogon!
Ayyy thanks Chrisini !Wow, I really like your stuff! Especially your way of shading.
Are you open for commissions?
Noted.Like Danmire hinted towards above, some consistency with light direction would be preferrable. Since there's a huge shadow below it, I'll assume the bulk of it is coming from above, so having the top parts of its arms, shell, and shell lining in dark shading doesn't feel applicable. On the flipside, the openings for his side cannons don't need to be that bright, and can actually afford being much darker. Lastly, try to avoid having all teeth the same size. That said, the use of textures is really nice in this pic, so you really made this hunk of metal some justice.
Haha I can see that now. It took me awhile to get an "okay" shading and shape for its hind leg considering my lack of experience in real life quadrupedal postures. Definitely doable to change.Wow, your Terrakion looks really nice! The shading on it is absolutely superb, and I love how you use slightly faded colours on it, it's a unique choice that really works.
Something about the back leg looks a bit off though. I dunno, it just kinda looks like it's sticking out too much, and not really a part of the body. But other than that, the piece looks awesome!
Ayy thank you! x]ahh~
Your style is gorgeous! ^^
Your shading looks super neat, and I love the different poses you did :)
Amazing work!
