Hieros Gamos, Fakemon and More

[StarSock64]

Well it's hard to make fakemon that are in such a different style from pokemon style and then have them fit in in the first place

but even without style, they don't fit the facial types, proportion, anatomy, design patterns of pokemon

many don't even seem like their animal idea thought process is pokemon-like.

Pokemon can be greatly varied but they still almost always look like pokemon and they look like pokemon for a reason. If you want to carry on with this way of making monsters, they look nice and people might be fine with that. If you're bent on calling them fakemon, however, I suggest you study and draw/sprite pokemon so you can get the right idea. Pokemon are also much simpler and generally have cleaner designs. Geometric shapes seem to be the basis of a lot of pokemon structure and patterns.

Anyway, in regards to your latest sprites, I don't like the yellow on the first one. It doesn't go well with the black and kind of draws unneeded attention there, tone it down. I don't really like how the middle one is shaded and it lacks contrast on the blue parts (lightest and middle shades) and the rainbow parts look pretty off
