That Ampharos looks so Kawaii! *huggles* Although the neck seems a tad bit angular where it meets the body, you may want to smooth that out a bit. And the tail isn't exactly circular, either, it's more of an oblong. The glowing aura around it's tail is slightly squggly as well, it may need a little touching up. But I love the way you did the shading, and the pose is really adorable! The background, surpisingly, fits in pretty well. Keep up the good work! I'll count on seeing more great things from you!
