Noticed something

[Chris2Balls [:B]]

I fancied doing some Pokémon of my own after checking out 1up's thread. But Pokémon is more or less an on/off trend on TSR.
Anyway I've started Nidoking:

I'll be thinking of ways to make this a bit more personal in style. Thanks for looking and responding!

Really nice shape, can't wait to see how it comes out when it's been shaded.

[Shouty]

The only thing I don't like is the inconsistency between the calves and the lopsidedness of the abdomen. Otherwise, it's good.

[Chris2Balls [:B]]

Is this better? I'll get on with the shading.

Shading attempt, I think this will kill the sprite if I do this everywhere, maybe if I get rid of the lightest shade it shouldn't look too bad. Plus the volume I tried to create sucks bad so that'll need to be fixed.

[Cobalt Blue]

if thats's suposed to be a wrestling stance, then its all screwed up in the arms

[Gold]

N'yeah, not a fan of the shading. :\

[Gorsalami]

that checkered pattern isn't working because it's making the shoulder's shape look flat. Texturize it, but don't forget to shade the shape normally.

[Rhyme]

yeah the arms look pretty weird to me, might be because they aren't shaded but they look far too skinny for nidoking.

[Chris2Balls [:B]]

Started shading guideline. What do you think?

[Codestar]

his body needs to be shorter and more husky. his legs don't jut out like that.

[Vipershark]

Also as seen by the ref picture, his belly should be much fatter. Almost like he has a beer gut.

[Chris2Balls [:B]]

Thanks a bunch dudes, I was using that pic as a ref but not well enough!

[Vipershark]

Also I think his lower arms (the parts with the hands) need to be bigger. In the ref, they appear to be about 1.5x the size of the smaller part.

[Codestar]

Actually there was a number of things about the anatomy and pose I wanted to comment on , but I'm lazy so I just made a quick edit

[Medevenx]

Now how about some pointy ears for my favorite Pokemon ever? You may wanna make him crouch an itsy bitys more.
