i like some of your work, i like your experiments with colour and design. i think other people do too, and for this reason they are giving you attention and criticism. if what we're saying frustrates or annoys you, take a breath. if you've had almost three pages of arguing over what's pokémon and what isn't, it's because there a quite a few members here who have some experience in that domain (unfortunately i'm not so welp) and who are ready to share their knowledge. it's a shame that you take what they do badly, really.
i want to see you progress, i don't want you giving up on doing human anatomy or fakemons, but on the contrary, carry on. it's not because you can't manage to do something that you have to stop, you have to find the motivation to continue until you succeed.
an underlying issue in your work is the banding which is created in narrow areas, where you try to hug too many shades next to each other. another is the shape of the shading itself. anyway i'll illustrate what i'm trying to tell you in an edit soon, until then, keep posting!
