I really like games with interesting creature designs, so I thought it would be fun to try this project out.
The first, most obvious problem here is that the flame violates the rule that the creature cannot have any 'action' sequences, which is a pity, since it does add a bit to the picture. There are a few options I could take to fix this:
1 - I could claim that the flame is part of the creature in the same way that Charizard's flame is part of his tail. Then again, that's kind of hard to buy and would be unfair to everyone else.
2 - I could replace the flame with something else.
The reason why I added something like a 'flame' was because the stat distribution of the creature is specially inclined. The flame was originally a black razor shape, but it didn't fit the type of pokemon this is supposed to resemble.
I could use some suggestions as to what I should draw instead of a dark flame.
There are also some problems with the drawings that I would fix upon another post. This is also an area where I could use some advice:
1 - This creature is supposed to be blacked out almost completely so it resembles darkness, but as you can see, I only shaded it slightly here, making it look more like a steel type instead.
2 - The red spots are evil-looking eyes. There is one of them on the lower corner of its face. They're meant to look somewhat insectile (like a fly) as to give this creature a vile atmosphere. I'm not sure if it is obvious that those things are eyes though.
3 - The rectangular supports on the mannequin are supposed to be wood colored. I'll color them darker if I post this again.
4 - The energy shield is supposed to only have a red aura, since it would be more uniform with the rest of the body. Coloring over your mistakes doesn't work
.
All in all, the most significant factor is that I should probably shade the creature's body completely black in order to remove the depth perception that makes it look like a robot. This would also make the eyes look less like technological apparatus.
As far as the design goes, this is supposed to be a mannequin that knows nothing but how to kill. Well, something like that. The slim body represents the creature's speed, while the legs are adjusted to look like something with 90 base HP. The special based weapons, (including the illegal dark fire) are present because of the stat spread. I had fun with this. I should enter drawing contests more often.
EDIT: This picture doesn't seem to show up on Macs. In that case, I placed it in an album in my profile.
