Salamence LP/Render
- Thread starter Sonic Gal
- Start date
I think it's just alright this time around. The pose is rather rigid and doesn't really stick out. Still, keep it up.
Also, I may be wrong but shouldnt the tails be coming from the middle? as it is he looks like it's coming off his leg.
Salamence itself is great, but I'm bothered by the background. One characteristic of Pokémon card artwork is that they almost always have vivid backgrounds behind their Pokémon. (Not so much with Trainers/Supporters/Stadiums, but that's a separate tradition, it seems.) For instance, you never see a cloudy sky like that. You also see rain, lightning, and/or the surrounding landscape from a low angle shot.
An example would be Dark Dragonite from EX Team Rocket Returns, which your artwork reminds me very much of. Behind Dragonite is a full moon filling up a bunch of negative space. (Your Salamence fills up the negative space very nicely though, so a better example might be Bronzong from Great Encounters.)
It's what separates the artwork of this game from that of Yu-Gi-Oh!, whose artwor I could never stand because every monster looks like they're standing in front of a void of some sort.

*Jealous of that beautiful signature ><*
That is kind hard of a stance to draw was it? I don't know what I see is right, but I'm just gonna say it out and if it turns out wrong Please correct me, We are all learning
The right upper leg seems too long to me.
The eyebrow on the right side stick out. So there should also be a little stick out of the right side too.
I don't know about the tail, but some thing seems off. I think its the red and blue(which was the upper and lower part?) wasn't quite right.
I like your use of shading though. There are detail shading like the limb shading that you told me and also some obvious gradient. This helps me as a reference for my next scans.

The stance was a bit difficult, but not too too hard. I believe the eyebrow is supposed to stick out, I made sure of it by referring to other Salamence pictures. I didn't use any gradients for shading though.
