Your potential is absolutely stunning. And that must be the reason why you haven't received a lot of comments; people don't know what to say.

The pokemon art is...well, unique. The spriting is great, I'm just not fond of the designs and the faces a lot, but that's just me, nothing to care about.

I'm gazing at the non-pokemon art intensely. The shading, palette selection and outlines are flawless. The only thing that you still could improve further is probably the anatomy. Some of your work (not all of it, of course) have a rather distorted proportion in some of their body parts. Here's an example:

(left leg)--->
Notice how the left leg is a bit fatter than it should be, I assume that you made it that way because it's turning to the side a bit, but it looks odd. The pose could normally have both legs standing almost face-up (like the right leg is).

But seriously, wonderful job. I hope you have more to show in the future.
This is my December . . .

Thank you for the critique and kind words. I just wish people would actually comment, even if they don't have much of an idea of what to say. It's sort of depressing when nobody is critiquing your stuff...

So I've made the decision to animate all my sprites B/W style using flash (there was a tutorial on here about it a while ago...) in the hopes of getting more recognition... everyone likes animations, right?

Oh my! I really should stop by the pixel art section more often. I love seeing threads like these that actually have original, non-Pokemon pixel art in them. Your style is definitely something new and fresh and yet there's a delightful hint of retro in there, too. I love how crisp everything is and the textures are so well-executed.

Like Truality, the only real critique I would have is with the anatomy and perspective on some of these. You seem more accurate and stronger with smaller details than with larger areas. Some of them start to lose their form. But overall, this is an absolute delight to see - keep it up! And don't get discouraged; I have been posting non-Pokemon art and pixel art here for years and sadly most people around here don't really say anything. It's not just you :3

Your work is REALLY good, I absolutely love your fakemon designs and how they are sprited. My main critique is that your Fakes all have very similar styles of eyes, which isn't a bad thing but can get very repetitive after a while; and some of your shading seems strange on the evolved form of the (assuming here) centipede.

I also realllly like your non gakemon, most of the problems I see are in proportions of their limbs; otherwise these are great :D Keep it up!
