People are always talking about staying in shape. Last time I checked, round IS a shape.

O__O This is nearly precisely what I had envisioned a Gjinka of Cresselia to look like It's really beautiful So elegant, so colorful, and more over beautifully expressive ^__^ Great character design ;D You have a very sharp perception of creativity!

Where's the base from?

She looks amazing. It's good to see a legendary pokemon that actually looks elegant.

I love the things I draw, but I hate it when I try to draw. I need to wait until my ideas sit so long they're screaming as loud as they can for me to let them out, then I let them slowly ooooooooooze out onto the paper.

Mmmm, ooozy idea paper.

Wow. 0_0 I hadn't expected so many comments. I'm sorry to have replied so late, but I was on vacation.

As to the base, it isn't mine, but I couldn't re-find the site it came from and it wasn't marked. >_< If I do ever find the site again, I will most definitely credit and link. If anyone knows where this base comes from, PLEASE let me know.

Again, thank you all for your wonderful comments! Expect to see more when I'm not so busy, lol. (July-Aug are busy months for me.)

I rather like the design, but I have some advice for you on pixel art, especially resizing.
I think you could have done a much better job of keeping the linework consistent. It's obvious you resized a base first, using a blurry method, then editted the rest after resizing. If you resize in whole increments (200%, 300% etc) and/or used the "nearest neighbor" setting (depending on what program you're using), you won't have blurry lines, which means you won't have that white halo around the picture when you try to delete the background. Better yet, you can then easily smooth out the lines so they don't look pixelated. As it is now, the lines on her skin look both pixelated and blurry compared to the rest, making it, as I said, obvious where you left the base alone and where you just traced over it after resizing - those lines are all one pixel wide, and only have as much blurriness as you always get when you put pixel art in a jpeg.
Speaking of which, I haven't looked at the rest of your gallery so it might just be because you used the background, but just be aware, jpegs are not kind to pixel art. Not just the blurry lines, but large areas of flat colour get splotchy when you use it. Look at the inside edges of her... things... (ribbons? The silk-looking things from her wrists). Gifs and pngs, being lossless, are a lot cleaner, though gis are limited in colours (but make up for it with being able to be animated).
That was probably a lot more long-winded than I intended, but I'm just trying to be helpful even if you don't usually resize your pixel art, it can help if you're editing items from one source onto a base from another. Of course, you could just trace over everything after you resize, but that's hard to do if you're using paint or anything without layers.

I actually didn't resize the base. The white haloe effect was due to having to put it on a BG, and jpg was the required format for this contest, hence no choice on the matter. Also, I usually do pixel art in PSP, so I do have layers. I do appreciate your help however, and the time you took to write out your reply. Detail comments are always loved. ^_^
