Interestingly enough, a couple of hours ago, I was hoping that you'd do something like this for these three, also. Just curious, are you going to do these everytime shadows are unveiled?
Yeah, I will. As I said, its a little tradition of mine, and its fun to take a stab at guessing what they'll look like. I've never been right of course, but hey, thats not the point

The first looks to much like mantine, and doesn't exactly look "Cute' enough to be a prevo. the mouth is what really bugs me though, as though it doesn't match with the resdt of the Pokemon.
The second one is very good, but for some reason it looks overdone. The eyes also don't match with the rugged fur and hooked beak, imo they should be fiercer.
The last one's inner tubes are too contrastic to the body color, they should be a purple or green color or the otter should be orange or red. The tail just doesn't seem to fit, kinda too fishlike. It's head is also very plain, the eyes should be changed imo.
Yay for critiques. I don't get enough of them.
Well to be fair, there really isn't much you can do with a shape so similar to an existing pokémon, bar splashing a few different patterns and such on there. I
did try to round it off a little to compliment that, which is why its got all those circular patterns and mouth, as well as the puffy cheeks.
I dunno. Whenever I think of a parrot or any other bird in the parakeet familly, I think of them as being more lighthearted animals as opposed to ones that would be considered threatening. And when you couple that with a concept as upbeat and cheery as music, its hard to imagine such a creature coming off as fierce looking :/
As for it being overdone...well, it IS a parrot. They're naturally bright, colourful animals
Eh, I was originally intending to have the otter with a similar color scheme to that of Linoone and Furret, with orange floaties instead of the white/red combo. But it made it look too...I dunno. Generic? I did a
recolor of it in any case, so I'll let you be the judge.
I disagree with you on the tail, but I do agree with the eyes. They're pretty crappy.

Very nice. If I didn't know better I'd say you got those new Pokemon nailed. It will be funny to compare the official designs with yours after they're revealed and see how close to the mark you were.
lol, I wouldn't count on them being anywhere near close. I think the closest I've ever got to my interpritation looking similar to the final design was matching the exact number of head feathers on Manyula. And apart from the green orbs, I didn't even get
Bonsly right ^^;

I always thought those whiskers/antennae/tentacles were on its butt. Like buttacles.
I'm sure you've managed to give someone out there some hentai-related ideas with that comment V

The outlines are a bit, bold. Did u make these?
Well, the purpose of a fanart forum is to post one's own artwork. So yes.
