hey, if i can make an evolution for this, would you mind if i motion sprite it with you as base design inspiration?

It's a simple design but a really effective one and I really love it. It would be good to see what the 2nd and 3rd evolutions would be

I personally likethe color. I don't really do this type of work thouigh so listen to those who know what they are talking about. It looks very proportional and I like it. Yes, I think this should be your new starter. I like the idea of a shark.

I think he looks great, but a light-blue color would look better;3 You could also add stripes or something.

Give it more neck, reduce fin size a *tad* bit, then yeah. Lighten the color a bit.

This one is great... though, the colors are WAY to dark for a basic stage evo.
It should be lighter, you know, a water/steel would be a good choice for this.. but, just go with dark. Its a bit plain.. but in my opinion all you need to do is change the colors, add SOME stuff to it and BIG BANG BOOM it will look great!

Okay, I'll see what I can do for you. ^^
First off, I think there is indeed a lot of blank space, if you will, especially on the head. I think you should make it slightly smaller, except for the eyes. I have a feeling you want them to be smaller in comparison to the body, but I think them being slightly bigger in relation to the body won't hurt that effect. I also agree on the color. The color in itself is fine, but the shading should be darker. I think you should lighten the base slightly so it is easier to make out some of the details, too.
As far as some minor nitpicks go, I think that the arm-fins are entirely too flat and angular. They should curve, getting steeper as it gets to the tip, and on the bottom they should expand ever so slightly out before coming back in to the body. The belly seems flat and sticks out, mostly because of the bottom left corner. If/when you make the sprite smaller, this should work itself out, but if you don't intend to resize it, you should definitely round this off more and possibly give the entire belly a good rounding off using the blue's highlight color. (Good old anti-aliasing: just don't forget to zoom out and see how it looks!) The shading for the belly also seems slightly off, I think it too needs to be slightly darker, and that would also help bring out that bellybutton.
If you don't want to resize the sprite I would suggest maybe putting a scar of white or something on its nose. Regardless of whether you resize it or not, I think you should add highlight to the nose as well. Its tail fin is another thing dependent on resizing, if you make it smaller you can probably keep it, but as it stands it seems to small compared to its dorsal fin. If I was you, I'd put more emphasis on the tail, making it bigger, while making the dorsal fin smaller. This is especially so since it has such a large head fin.
On the back of its left leg, I think it should be less rounded, because it looks like it's standing on its tiptoes or something right now. ^_^"
I can't really see much else wrong with it, so I hope that this will help you!
I also think this would make a wonderful starter! I hope you can pull more of that lovely yellow from its eyes into the body of its evos.

Only thing I can say that the other comments didn't is that the color is a bit too dark for a first stage IMO. And your shade and base color blend together a little too much need to be a great separation in contrast there. Other than that it looks fine.

Its a bit plain, but the shape is cute!
Also the dark blue takes up too much space, I find that Pokemon with large amounts of dark colours aren't that cool.
there is a huge lack of details for a starter pokemon.
So so cute but far from perfect :/
A bit too much constructive criticism y'think?

I'll take that as a "YES THAT WAS TOO MUCH, YOU CAN SHUT UP NOW"

It was more of a "He's probably right, but how in the WORLD am I going to fix THAT" kinda
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think a bit of experimentation can fix that quite easily, acutally
'If we put an extra leg here, and a bunch of swoobat-looking noses here... no, that doesn't work.'

AHHH, YOU IS CONFUZZLING FC!! I is now confuzzled by your comment which just left me as clueless as before.

You can have the satisfaction of knowing that you aren't the only confused one.
I hate it when I confuse myself.
Do you like being confused?

I like the simplicity of the sprite, but its caudal fin is off. It looks like it's jutting off the side of its body.

Is that just the fact that he has 2 colors or that he should be colored a different way?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
two colors. maybe add another color and like a red gill or a yellow stripe or something
