Izzy: I'm floored at how awesome that last peice was! I do agree with Cowrie though, maybe at the very least a third shade for the face and hands?
Pikafirefight: Nothing really wrong with your spriting that I can see. Something I did think was weird though, the hair for the three battle scene trainers seems a little less rounded than the hair on your big trainer sprite.
Megafuz: Your Voltrap looks very similar to my Floom and Pyronha pkmn sprites. Hell, to be honest, they look even better than my Floom and Pyronha pkmn sprites. Nice job!
Shadow909: Work on your shading. The tail was done horribly. Overall, great fusion concept, just needs work.
ZORRO: Nice fusion man. I don't really see anything wrong with it.
Webmaster Tyler: After I zoomed in and took a look, I noticed that arcanines rear is missing... Also, what is that huge fireball doing on his back?
Valdorath: I like the blue and green shades you used and how you applied them to the sprite. Great job dude!
I also like your TCard. Is the second one the back side of the TCard? Btw, FLCL rawks!
Halo: Needs work on (as you already know) anatomy and shading. The shading on the arms is backwards. Since when does a light source begin from your chest and expand outwards? To fix that, simply flip the arms around to where the lighter shades are on the outside. Of course, then it'd look like the light source is coming from the right and left sides. Even still, it'd look better that way you currently have it. Next we have the weird hair. Since I believe your going for an anime-ish style sprite (Props for that because anime-ish style portrait sprites rock!) you should probably make the hair a little less rounded and a little more spiky. Making the hair into strands or longer/slimmer peices also works. SHADING, SHADING, SHADING!!! Hope to see your finished and edited sprite soon. =D

If you do want it to look more anime-ish, then I have a suggestion - and that's to work on the eyes a bit. They're rather flat compared to most anime eyes...I suggest putting a darker shade of green near the top of them, and then putting down an even lighter color (even white, perhaps) where the lightest green currently is. That should make them look more like typical anime eyes, at least. ^_^;

Maybe crazier hair and bigger eyes? And maybe a straw hat for good measure?
Alright, I've listened and edited. Sorry, no straw hat though, it'd go against the whole blue doo rag-ish bandanna thing I've got going with all of my personal sprites. Probably the most notable thing I changed is the collar around the neck. The old one just seemed so... lame?
