And my point is made! Your Original Characters rule!
I personally like the right Blue (or Green w/e you wanna to call her) more, because the lines a more bold, and aren't as cheap looking at the one of the left when compared. I also agree with everyone else, that more levels of shading would be nice, but not so much as it looks strange. Those kind of shading bother me, and by watching older episode's of pokemon, I think your shading is MUCH MUCH better then the animator's back then. 0_0; I never noticed that their voice actor's were off with the mouths. (It made me laugh)
Many people seem to mimic Sugimori's art, but the one of the right doesn't reflect his art totally, as his art seemed to have hairthin lines, and less levels of shading compared to most official art. His drawings are clean and crisp, much like your own, but I don't think anyone could truly copy his style with computer workings.
I'd suggest editing the first post with your new/revised drawings. Your Gary still looks strange by my memory, and your Krystal is still the second to last version. It'll make it easier, as for the past few weeks I've been searching for your Krystal comparison's post, but I can't seem to find it. 0_0;;
