Why did you put to dex entries in your post?

Here's my concept art for Wrectan:

EDIT: added pupils in paint

Because I'm a fun and creative person.

It looks digimony... It doesn't have that pokemon feel to it. I guess thats just me, but yea, I think you should work on the body a little.

I think that may just be a result of my unrefined artistic technique. The difference between Pokemon and Digimon is really just a style difference, IE digimon are generally more detailed and more streamlined than pokemon are. I'm hoping that once I sprite it, it will look like a pokemon, but if you have any specific ideas I'd like to hear them.

Well, I see too many chains on it, it should look more connected, like those cactus things in mario. The chains connecting his arms are fine. And the eyes need work. They need pupil and and they should look, Idk sort of like dragonite imo. Just a suggestion.

I think the lack of pupils are the problem like you said, and the only reason it doesn't have pupils was because I was going to put them in later after I sprited it. The eyes will be the same as the prevos.
Edit: Scratched in some rough pupils using the pencil tool and my laptop's touch pad mouse. Look any better?

As for the chains, you may be right that there's too many and it makes it look dark, but My idea was that its a golem made up of it's prevos that uses the chains as it's musculatory and circulatory systems. It moves by shortening and slackening the chains connecting the balls together. It has difficulty changing directions and relies on momentum. It's lack of biological muscle or the use of a electrical nervous system would give it an immunity to electric attacks therefore justifying it's Ground typing. It's movements are powered by Dark energy.

So I kind of need the chains in there, otherwise the concept loses a lot of it's flair and just becomes a black snowman that has no business being ground/dark. And btw, I am not as afraid of criticism as the other people on this forum, so no need to be sheepish. I'm still new at this, I appreciate your expertise.

The pupils should be wider I think, sort of like lucario's. And I see where you are going with the made up of prevo's thing, but maybe you can make the body nothing but chains and and the head, arms and legs prevos. The wide pupil thing might help your sprite too.
