Man, what to say? This is my "latest and greatest" I guess, and although it's still chock full of errors. But I'll actually say that I like this piece very much.
I had a bit of a hard time on the roses for a little while, and eventually copied the first I made, but managed to change each one enough that I'm okay with that.
I was also glad to include a few extra details like the leaf shaped 'ribbon' on the back, better bodice-lacing, a hairband, slightly-better hair, and a MUCH better whip design and pose.
Basic coloring went okay. The shading was the real pain, especially for the dress....I don't know why, but the gradual change in color just looked AWFUL. It was like I was stuck in 16-bit color instead of 24 or 32-bit, and it refused to give me an in-between color. No matter how I smudged it or paint-brushed it, it looked very ugly. It's slightly better now thank goodness, but I can still see it somewhat.
ALSO, I painted the foreground .... ground. I just blocked in a black area, and then I took white and the paintbrush-tool and lightly sketched some color onto it, smudged it around some, and then I took some green and a small brush, criss-crossed some lines, and then used a smaller smudge to make grass blades out of it. Turned out pretty good for a first time attempt at painting(I think I might have used smaller bits of that idea on something else, but nothing extensive really). And those leaves on the back? Looks awful, but I smudged and blurred a few things here and there and the shading turned out 'just-okay' I guess. Still not happy with that. And the hair shading.....ugh. It'll suffice.
The castle in the background... I messed up by accidently coloring on the line-art layer when I didn't want to, and I colored that ' painted' foreground area on the same layer as the 'castle shading', so that's why there's a bit of a haze around that rock on the right....I smudged the shading UP too much. Oh well. I'm way too conservitive on my layers. I hate making too many...
ACK. I just noticed an itty-bitty little ' pink' dot on the bottom left corner. I guess I didn't black that part of the foreground in well enough. Ugh. I already uploaded it. Nooooooo.....ah well, whatever. I'm done.
Anyway, glad it came out mostly-okay.

"Worthless Living Pile of Uber Failure Suckage Garbage Since 1989"
Well, when I started the originals a year ago, one of the entries from the Pokemon Gijinka Project had a more-or-less Loli-Goth Tangela(ACTUALLY IT'S THIS ONE), and it just looked so neat, I started thinking of other grass types that could benefit from a sort of lacey-design, and like I've said, I was intrigued about making the 'ugly middle-stage' Ivysaur into something that looked kinda cool. *shrug*
I really, REALLY wish I could improve to the point of doing CG-esque anime style. I get SO jealous when I see those things. x_x;
Dude, you've got a headstrong backbone in that spine of yours....and a gifted mind to go with it. If anyone's to be jealous, it should definitely be me at the sight of your mastery. Seriously, you've got everything goin' for ya. Never in my life have I seen creativity skyrocket to such extremes...even if simplicity is the main aspect here. Doesn't matter really, because whatever you do I will always be impressed and amazed at what you're capable of.
Anyway, keep up the awesome stuff Mag. Great work up in here tonight.

You know, I don't like multiple choice questions. What if I want both options? D: Am I just going to be denied for being a greedy bastard or something?
Well, that's a pretty cool concept in my opinion. But you do whatever you feel like--whatever you're comfortable with.

But.....wow, that's a HUGE undertaking you're going with on that Pokemorph Contest. I don't think I can do that many...I'm not very fast, and I've already put a lot of projects off here and there. I have so much of my own stuff, I wasn't able to finish even one drawing for someone else, so I don't think I'll be able to, sorry.
because the project is getting bigger every day! Think about it...
