Take note: Some artists seem to think that the “cuter” their picture is, the better it is. This is also the opinion of many Tumblr users, it seems. The first picture is entirely serviceable, but the Sphinx is just sitting there, being adorable.
The second picture is too far in the other direction. “Alt Art” or “Realistic Pokemon” is a popular trend, and I couldn’t despise it more. Eventually it just stops looking like a pokemon.
The best way to draw a pokemon, seen in the third picture, is to make it “real”. Not realistic, there’s a difference. Tell a little story with your picture. What do Braviaries do? Do they behave like a real-world animal or are they more human-like? Can you draw the pokemon on-model or are you confident enough to stylize without sacrificing readability?
Please remember this when you are flooding my dashboard with diabete-inducing sugary sweet Riolus. (I’ll still save them, but dang people, I try for some variety.)
