Stopped by when I saw the Mega Evolutions in the title, figured I'd like to see what you could cook up. I'm really enjoying a lot of the creative designs here, and I'd have to say my favorite would easily be Mega Escavalier.
I see that you are having some trouble deciding on a design for a Mega Crobat, however :/ . Personally, I think they are good, but, if I may, I think I could suggest something to help you out.
I like the second design's wings, those ones kind of fit the bill for it being sleek and quick in the air. What I would recommend would be to make the joints a little more prominent, where the fold of the wing crooks connects the wing to it's body *it'd be better if I could actually describe things better :P *. Perhaps to make it more daring, making it pointy, like a spike or something, or as if the bone came out.

With the same idea of what you shown with V2, perhaps making the wings appear more like the above, to give it a bit more... creepy factor to it. Also, perhaps have it's 'ears' be a bit more pointy and upwards, kind of like batman from the animated cartoon, and maybe a bit more darker purple of a coloration, to show a bit more change to the Pokemon.
These are merely just suggestions though, great work though, and I'm excited to see more!
Thanks for stopping by :D I'm glad you like my drawings :P I think I'm gonna give up on Crobat for a while, might come back to him later, but thanks for your suggestions! I think it's a good idea to go with a sort of darker style. I'm gonna do Delibird next for Christmas and then Swampert :D
Yes! Mega Evolutions! Somehow I managed to totally bypass this gallery while I was posting before, and I can't understand why because mega evolutions are the best!
Since this has been a topic of debate here, I'd like to go ahead and say that I actually rather like your Crobat design. I see it being very close to the original, as most people do, but you've got the framework for an awesome evolution down really well. The thing is, it seems like you're only adding bells and whistles. I think you should keep going as is with Mega Crobat, and instead of making it a purple flying demon, take some inspiration from Mega Kangaskhan. It's pretty much exactly the same as a normal Kangaskhan, just with a little extra feature. Maybe make it so your Mega Crobat can shoot Zubat out of its mouth or something! Okay.. so maybe not that, but you know what I'm trying to say. Don't think that you need to stick with the mold!
Now, I love, love, love, love your Mega Escavalier. Now that is one hell of a Mega Evolution. To me, this Escavalier tells a story. Like, I can imagine it with Aegislash's ability Stand Change, where it can alternate its offensive stats for its defensive. And I think you captured on one of Escavalier's best design aspects, in the fact that it's typing, colors, and "feel" are very reminiscent of medieval jousting. I just, I love what you allow my imagination to come up with through that Pokemon. That, to me, is so cool. I think you've given your drawing some real depth, and I appreciate that so much.
Anyway, sorry for the rant. As for a critique? Some of your lines don't match up. So just try to be a little more careful when you're going in and doing those heavy black outlines. Maybe, instead of having a blunt end, try to trail things off into a point.
That's all I got. Awesome, awesome work. Please keep it up! :D
Mega Escavalier was actually the first one I made XD that's what sort of started this whole thing, I'm glad people like him :D it's a great compliment from you that it gets your imagination going, I kinda hope I can make more like that XD I was sort of hoping nobody would notice the lines, but you caught me! I'll try to make more of an effort to polish them from now on :D
I think I'll sort of pile up everybodys ideas about Crobat and try to make another one some time, for now I'm gonna leave him alone XD
Thanks for the advice and everything guys :D I'll keep updating this gallery every few days :D
