Simulacrum

[Akilah Imani]

Here is my darnedest at a modern-day Pikachu Pokemorph.

Pikaboy says: Reconnoiter Psycho's prevalent fanart!
I think that I did pretty well on this one, aside from my atrocious outlining. By the way, those are headphones he's wearing.

Also, I just consummated my latest rendition of Drew:

I'm not too fond of my choice of text style (seeing as it doesn't fit the picture at all) nor do I adore my shading in the least bit. Though, that's just me, I frequently hate the shading that I do in all of my pictures.

This is for all of the Drew/Shuu fans >_>; So be happy.

Your animadversions, expositions, and ego-builders are welcomed.

Beware: I may attack/bite you if unprovoked and bored.

Drew is Super good but Pikaboy is AWSOME!!!!!! i just love his tongue poking out for some reason. but isnt pikachu's tail supossed to be brown at the end becuse pikaboy is missing it. Please do some more pokemorph's because they look really good

 

[Altair]

Whoah, Pikoboy looks awesome lol. The Drew one came out good, but since I'm not a Drew fan, nor ever will be, the picture is indifferent to me.

I don't know what the hell is up with those antenna ears, but they need to go. The eye shading looks like the bastard child of the Blur and Smudge tools, with a little Gaussian Blue on the side. Not good. Shading is almost no existant, and it's far to geometric and angular to be aesthetically pleasing (to me, at least; dunno about the rest of you). The shoes/feet/whatever also seem amazingly rushed and rather sloppy. Not diggin' it much.

I like Pikaboy. I'm not so keen on drew. I dunno why.

 

[Akilah Imani]

Yes, the shoes were rushed, and I can't say that I'm to proud of his pants. I feel that I must make my intentions for Pikaboy evident, for those who may have missed it.

I don't know what the hell is up with those antenna ears, but they need to go. The eye shading looks like the ******* child of the Blur and Smudge tools, with a little Gaussian Blue on the side. Not good. Shading is almost no existant, and it's far to geometric and angular to be aesthetically pleasing (to me, at least; dunno about the rest of you). The shoes/feet/whatever also seem amazingly rushed and rather sloppy. Not diggin' it much.

Yes, I did use a guassian blur and smudge tools on the eyes, which is blantly obvious, and I purposely made it that may. The eyes looked to dull as just a plain black color, so I added a little shine to them. I'm not fully satisfied with them, but it does, somewhat, accomplish my desired effect.

I respect your oppinions and compliments, but the antenna ears stay. I like them, its makes the design unique for that of a Pokemorph, and well, I can't please everyone (but the majority). It was decided a long time ago to make them permanent and since the majority of the public seems to like them, I guess that's it.

You have managed to point out the obvious, not mistakes. Mistakes are something that I didn't mean too do, or did unintentionally did while composing each piece. Pikaboy is of a more simplistic, cartoonish style. The shading is nonexistant because I didn't want to put hardly any shading (I would've just left it all one color). This was supposed to be fun and surreal, not amazingly realistic, indepth, and humanlike. He's is angular goemetric-wise, because I made him that way. His anatomy follows a basic structure of your average 11-12 year old male-which is angular because of this basic stage of puberty and the awkward way the bones grow within the body. It may not suit your tastes, but I was aiming differently than what you probably conjectured.

Also people let me make this clear: To critique doesn't just mean that you point out the mistakes, it means that you point out the mistakes and tell the person what they can do to improve/make it better. Saying that this, this, and that doesn't look right or is wrong, doesn't help the person progress in their artistic endeavors or change the picture. Tell me what you don't like about them and why, and I can consider these things that you have told me and make my dicisions based off of what I have accumulated from other's oppinions and my own perspective of things.

By the way people, I put up two pictures, not one. Don't attempt to make a good critique of one and not the other >_>;

Though I do appreciate your animadversions, expositions, and ego-builders; make sure to take them into mind and formulate other ways to approach these pictures. My thanks to you all.

Holy snap these are good, Psycho. ;>

The Drew one is excellent, expecially how perfectly you drew Masquerain.

10/10; Nice.

Cute. The pants on the Pikachu morph look a bit too bright but I love the pose. Youre right about the text in the Drew one but the shading on the profile and the expressions/poses more than make up for it, in my opinion.

He looks cool, though his pika-ears look a little weird.

 

[Metal Force]
