[Smooth Criminal]

It looks like it came from mid to late 2000s judging by the color, aesthetic and style alone.
And yet… has been hit by, been struck by, a smooth criminal. The silhouettes look slightly cartoonish, yet it's the charm that this art follows. Furthermore, the background, including the beam - seems to be smokey and grainy, ain't a bad combo and it really emphasizes the aesthetic as I said at first.

I vote this art five stars; looks kewl and it's an oldie, a golden oldie.

Yooo thanks for your comment! I really didn't expect this piece to get this much attention it certanly surprised me!

Hey, it's cute. The ripples, while they reflect Totodile's reflection, I note that the reflection isn't exactly accurate judging by the light it casually reflects but that's minute anyways. I had a Totodile before it evolved into Croconaw, and ever since on that Goldenrod city; I've been waiting for that ignorant man to finally get that Sudowoodo out of the way and maybe at the same time get that gym badge if it weren't for that damned Miltank. But I digress, the color may be odd in regards to that jagged frill on the back but nevertheless gives out that it could be that it may be more reflective than the rest.

Summary of this review: It's a relaxed art with some err here and there but besides that, it's a cute art. Four stars.

Thank you! I agree with the stuff on parts of the lighting & whatever it is I tried to do with the water reflection (this is from 2022) but in the end, I still like it even considering it's flaws. I'm glad it still stands decently to other people as well (:

Excellent art. The color palette; while ever so slightly dull in comparison to the game (granted, colorful), it stands out pretty well. While I haven't completed the full game yet, I still know what highlights are, for the most part. And of course, did spoil myself a bit but that's not too much to worry about. The figures are expressive, yet maintain to the original by some degree.

Overall, in the nutshell; Outstanding art, expressive anatomy as it is in game, color are less vibrant but that's the art-style doing it's job.

ICam2k responds:

Thank you so much! I could've went with the vibrant route, but it was worth going in the opposite direction to see how that turns out. Still, always love seeing detailed comments like these.
