Yay! More artwork! ^^
Well Melissa, you already know what I think about your contest piccie, so I'll just comment on these sketches here...
First of all, they're all very well proportioned and professional looking sketches. Again, great job on the shading. Rukario has never interested me very much so...meh, that's probably the one I like least, more for the motif than anything else. Oh, and there huge blank area on the upper left-hand corner is kind of bad, but there's not very much that can be done about it due to the pose and suchlike. Anyways, it's an accurate representation methinks. And the Charmander...*Squeals* I love it! Especially that expression! ^-^ Although I already love your fanfic so my opinion might be biased, anyways, good job. And the same goes for the Charmeleon (I could picture it being the Charmander from the previous picture evolved, actually). It's refreshing to see a piccie where Charmeleon isn't being all tough and savage for a change. ^^ I mean come on, all the nice little Charmeleons out there must be sick and tired of that demeaning stereotype by now.
Anyhow, great job as always. Thy art pwneth, Melissa. ^-^
